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

[Leebro]

Yeah, the Rocky part was cringe worthy.

Not to mention the acquiring of small companies here and there. They're expanding really quickly -up by about 50% from the previous year I think.

Not really sure what TGV will bring to the table, but he does have a cult following in UGWC. Maybe take over some of the entry level stuff from Tim? Maybe WB takes in modded SKXs and Squales after this? Jk idk Have you seen Archie's video? Salty as hell

I'm gonna check it now. I can only imagine the sodium levels on display. But if Archie is mad imagine how Federico might be feeling? That being said he's got a competing business that seems to be okay.

I think your right about him possibly taking over the entry level stuff but would that be on his channel or theirs? It would seem as though he's going to keep the channel so I imagine it might be just access to their inventory and him acting as a personality on their channel.

That new Speedy... Buzz mooning you each time you look at the piece. :/ Am lined up for one at my AD for a while now... Now I'm not so sure anymore.

Hopefully the new 321 Speedy is better.

Yeah that speedy was a little disappointing I was hoping the 321 would be launched. I do like the sedna gold seamaster 300 chrono. Yachtmaster vibes.

i mean archie isn't archie if he isn't salty so that's to be expected

You gotta feel sorry for guy. First tgv befriends him, and out of friendship sells him his most prized watch, we assume gets snaked by tgv (possibly over business/his channel), gets a new job with watchuwant and has to give it up due to location. Watchuwant gets bought possibly meaning he could have kept his job, maybe make more money in the process, and finally the person who had snaked you initially gets a job with the company you had to leave and is definitely being paid handsomely for it.

i think the og does have the round hour hand minus the mercedes, the pic i posted was repaired so it might have been replaced?

i believe this is another pic of the og and it has the circle in the hour hand

I see, I am in a vintage phase at the moment. Looks good.

It's a shame how many bridges he's burnt to get to where he is. We'll see how long this lasts. The YouTube e-beef is a bit entertaining though.

I’m eyeing the King Seiko and Longines, for now. The UG is really nice I’m not sure about the rose gold indexes tho.

 

[buc em]

Still my favorite piece I’ve owned, regret getting rid of it

How much did you sell it for?

 

[mrse7en]

I know that timex q is gonna be too low end for most in this thread, but it looks pretty cool. sold out in 24 hours though. hopefully see some more pics and videos once it gets delivered. may be good for budget ballers like myself.

 

[m boiz]

How much did you sell it for?

$9500

How do you guys feel about this Air King? I think the look is and it’s a great value for what it’s priced.

 

[typerpinoy]

Air king is probably my least favorite Rolex currently available.

Lol. Like the honesty.

Forget our opinions man. If you like it go for it.

What are some Rolex that you’d recommend that are at least 40mm and under 8k?

 

[rfx45]

No Date Submariner - $7500
Milgauss - $8200 (slightly above but easier to find)
Explorer - $6550 (not quite 40mm but the small bezel makes it wears bigger)
Oyster Perpetual 39 - $5700 (not quite 40mm but the small bezel and in white dial, it wears bigger)
DateJust 41 - $7350 (with smooth bezel and also easier to find - slight discount even possible? extra $100 for jubilee bracelet)

 

[litflynt912]

The 214270 dial is actually the same size dial that’s in a sub. The bezel is beveled so it sits at 39mm but wears like a 40. More so, an explorer is going to be one of the only sports models one without a connection or purchase history can walk in and possibly find. At 6550 new, much better deal but can be found for under 5k if an mk 1 dial.

 

[buc em]

What’s the cheapest you can probably get one of the Submariners with gold on it?

 

[typerpinoy]

explorer or OP39 are probably the best bang for the buck rolex if such a thing exists

Looks good but way too small unless your frail.

You can find lots of good deals on The Rolex Forums, WatchRecon and WatchUSeek.

I personally recommend using DavidSW, Ive done multiple transactions with him, he bought my Deep Sea back and I have had nothing but good experiences with him.

that air kings 40mm...

its not the old 34mm version

This. Also, I highly recommend Davidsw as well. So much of his inventory is technically ‘pre-owned’ but still has factory stickers and warranties on them.

Thoughts on this Explorer II 16570?

That polar white dial really pops

 

[rfx45]

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms "Barakuda" in 40mm... $13k is steep but damn been wanting a blancpain 50fathoms for the longest and they finally have one that doesnt look like captain america shield on my wrist

 

[Extrait de Minimalisme]

The next bubble, get it while it’s still sub $6k

Would be my first expensive watch. I think that polar white dial really pops and it seems like it’s one of the best values as far as Rolex goes.

Only 500 being made. Would love to pick one up but it’d be a terrible financial move for me, although at only 500 pieces I can’t imagine its lose much/any value over the longer term.
