    Exact one I have and I beat the absolute shit out of it. I’m about to hand it down to my oldest kid, he’s been eyeballing it.

    It’s beautiful. Think they priced it right at $12,000 too.

    A Crna in the lockerroom this morning had on a Hamilton intra-matic chrono. Didn’t want to talk watches which I thought was strange.

    They’re absolutely outstanding on the wrist too. Definitely in contention for my next watch.

    No idea - I was just interested in it and was trying to gauge the market. When I searched the reference number there was the nearly identical post from 9 months ago from the same guy.

    Best of luck to him. He held for a year too long.

    Out of curiosity I checked what these were going for… $16-17k. He’s a moron.

    Do people really buy or sell $40k items over Facebook? Makes me think of that tmb user who tried to get laid with that ax murderer

    People sell cars through Marketplace, why not watches ‍♂️

    How is that any different than Reddit? I'd say Marketplace is somewhat "safer" as you can weed out / FB stalk... also, that watch is only a $40k item in the eyes of the current owner

    Maybe I'm just risk averse, but I'd feel better about dealing with the markup of a dealer for anything over a couple grand

    I am an admitted user of Reddit.com/r/Watchexchange.

    I liken it to Uber or AirBnB where you have a crowd-sourced community sorting safety mechanism.

    There’s an incentive structure for sellers to have a large positive transaction history. I wouldn’t buy anything over like $500 with anyone showing less than like 25 transactions.

    I like this. Always liked the Pogue colors but they were 50 years old and beat up.

    It's weird because my dream watch has the date between the 4 and the 5, but I still don't like when watches have dates between 4 and the 5 lol

    Been thinking about this watch since I saw it pop up on WatchExchange. Could’ve pulled the trigger, but I try not to be highly impulsive (lol) and even though it’s not a bank breaker, still very much a luxury purchase.

    Fair play. I know dick about watches, idk where I even saw that watch, but it's awesome to me. I looked a few times for one but they were all too beat up for me to buy.
