The Timepiece Thread vol: READ THE 1st POST!!!

Got a chance to try these on. The jubilee feels really light and comfortable. 9250 MSRP. The rose gold makes me really want to sell my yellow/green GMT but I think I’ll stay away for now.

We’ll see how things pan out, I’m anticipating my SS skydweller to get allocated around summertime, at least that’s what they told me.

what do you think they'll do if you slam $10k cash on the counter and tell them you're walking out with that watch?

It’s actually really frustrating how unmotivated by money AD’s have become. There was a point in time where that’s all that mattered, but those days are mostly over. At least in major cities. At this particular dealer I’ve purchased some serious watches. My AP 26331OR was purchased at this store, which was a 56k Watch. They told me I cannot even get a blue dial SS skydweller, only black. Yet on social media they gave one to a famous celebrity who doesn’t even buy from them.


All these watches are getting backdoored like sneakers which is pathetic, they never see the showcase. I even joked while they were taking names for the Pepsi that I bet you’ll just go out back and shred them all when people leave. The whole thing actually upsets me on a personal level because I believed spending more, going to an AD and being a loyal customer actually meant something.

Good to see the Basel and SIHH releases trickling out. Still giving Rolex a hard pass. Just about had it with their shenanigans.

Anyway... I caved. My AD gave me a great deal on both pieces. Guess this is the replacement for the G-Shock and the Oris I've let go of recently.

And with that, I'm done with Breitling, for now... I think.

"Waitlists" don't exist, even with loyal customers.

Still hoping I'll be proved wrong eventually. Spent a considerable amount with my AD over the past year and a half, albeit not just with a single brand.

First Rolex/luxury watch!! Datejust ref.116200. I'm super happy with it. The way it cups my wrist just feels amazing. Anyway, here's a photo. I tried to take a photo with it on but they all came out looking weird. These were the best I could do.

Straight outta hibernation, into a Rolex. Clean

Classy watch Mr. Poop!

Wasn't too interested in the Basel releases so I haven't been paying much attention, but lately I've done a complete 180 on the TT GMT. Any ideas as to whether or not this is an "in-demand" watch or if it should be relatively easy to purchase upon release?

 

[typerpinoy]

I’m sure it will be pretty difficult initially but the wait won’t be as long as a pepsi

haha thanks guys!!

 

[datkidfiasco]

Grabbed this for super cheap at an estate auction, you guys think it's fake? For as cheap as I got it, it was worth the chance

Fluted bezels are GOAT, but the smooth bezel is so underrated at the same time.

Very nice watch Adamdraps

I’ve been thinking of the new Santos but haven’t had a chance to check it out yet

 

[rfx45]

i always liked the santos, they were just too big but I am glad they are going back to basics

wanted the carbon 100 so bad back then

Crappy Rolex homage watches that I can now throw away. haha

Better hold them for fun days.

 

[1stwitit]

Don’t throw those watches out, brah.
Found this at the thrift store recently for $5. It’s crap, the chrono and pushers are faux but I like the look. Finding this makes me want to add a quality, vintage racing style watch to the rotation.

Finally a new video on the Speedyorite. Arguably one of the best YouTube watch channels out there.

Picked up another Omega NATO for the Speedy.. sort of like the Snoopy strap.

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

Ain't no Omega worth me paying 10k

 

[agentorange]

Ain't no Omega worth me paying 10k

Agreed. For that price I'm buying a Rolex.

I've been wanting an automatic Seamaster for the longest time though... timeless

Mario Andretti beat up most of his watches , but I respect how he got them
