Re Rolex - During the '84 L.A. Olympics I was at the Memorial Coliseum for an event and was going through some racks of pins someone was selling under one of those flea market tents. Some guy next to me was rooting through the same rack I was and I couldn't help but notice a gold and diamond rolex on his wrist. Fucking amazing watch.. I try to keep it cool and give a bit of a side glance, and it was Jack Nicholson, just looking through pins.
I didn't find anything I liked and moved off to the next seller. So did Jack. No entourage, nobody recognizing him in the crowd.
Jack can pull off a watch like that. Not me. I just replaced my 20 year old TAG with a new one, hopefully will last me another 20 years.
I’ve had some nice ones. Ulysses Nardin, Rolex, Omega, Frank Muller when they were hot.
I’ll take an omega speedmaster panda and be done with it. Or a sea master.
I actually like my seikos. Attachment 330452

I like the Omega Seamster. It's a great watch. I prefer it to the Rolex. Except, the Seamster is more like the Submariner Same movement at a 35% discount. I think that the Daytona costs ~ $35K.
Really like this Sea Master Planet Ocean but its like 50% more than that silver/blue Carrera.

JomaShop has some pretty good deals on pre owned watches if you're ok with pre owned
Oh yeah? Do you like gladiator movies??Quote:

If we can't appreciate the nice things in the middle of a global shitstorm when a trolling bot bumps them to the top only to unveil an epic flamboyant troll by the good people at Rolex, then when can we? Coco Chanel still got dressed up the day she died (probably).Quote:

Is jomashop trustworthy? I've read some pretty scathing reviews.
Wanted something more casual.Quote:

If you guys like watches, check out the producer michael utube channel.
Insane what people are spending on Stuff.
This is my next, and last. I like rubber, or leather straps. Won’t pay retail though.

Rolex watches....really?
People still buy watches....really?
There's an Omega store in the mall by my house.
What are you guys looking for? Does it need to be in the box?
Yes, I have bought at least a dozen watches from them and never had an issue. Just don't wait for back ordered watches, they my never come, just order something else. Nothing comes with a factory warranty since they are not an authorized dealer, but they do their own warranty work. Never needed it.Quote:

...and yes, real men still wear watches.
And beat the shit out of their watches.Quote:

My only nice watch at the moment, and you can see from the date it doesn't get much wear. Usually just wearing my garmin or a gshock.
I'm not a huge fan of Exlax watches but some models are the shit. Too many people I know have them and I wonder how many are Russian made (Imma-Knockoff)
I have few fancy-schmancy ones but I mostly wear a cheap invictus watch because I abuse them. Not verbally just physically.
Just can't justify the price of wearing something on my wrist that is worth the price of a car. I'd rather get the car but everyone has their type of toy or pleasure position so if it makes you happy do it.
Ok that's all I got.

Wait till the hints become a demand and see if you can get away with that. Good luck.Quote:

My chronographs are wound down (not working) all the time. Overtime, I wind it and put it on, which can be one week a year, it works fine. I bought a submariner in the '80s, and it is still good to go.
If you are thinking of Rolex, be aware that every year or two, it will cost you ~$600 to service (tune). The Seamaster is a bit cheaper to service, but requires maintenance
I'm thinking of picking up a Seamtress for the lady.Quote:

Yo DJ, Kenny’s right, the Aquaracer is pretty nice.
Somewhere in this thread I posted my Aquaracer Calibre S Chrono in blue over steel (I have a thing for blue faces apparently). I use it for sailing and kicking around as a summer watch. It’s 10 minute countdown is the best I’ve used and it’s functionality is crazy - multiple stopwatch timers, the ability to reset one or both or just the countdown, or add the two stopwatch timers. Nice weight on the wrist too.
Not a blue face, but kinda on theme.Quote:

I have a Speedy triple-date with a blue face. They came that way. Very pretty watch, and quite different than traditional Speedy (which I still covet). Can you have too many Speedies?
