Watch Thread - Geneva called...

Are you now aware of “the show”

 

Don’t know what you’re asking.

 

Great watch, better fit

 

Sorry about your rump watch One Two i know how excited you were for it

 

I liked the movement!

 

Finally splurged on a vintage piece

 

Experiencing pretty intense desire (at a level that typically results in purchase) to add a Black Bay or Pelagos to the collection. Without looking back, anyone have either/both?

 

I have a Black Bay GMT. It’s nice but I hardly ever wear it after getting my Sub - that and my Speedy get all the wrist time.

 

The Black Bay 58 is my most worn watch.

 

I don’t prefer titanium watches.

 

I have an older Tudor Black Bay “smiley” and it’s probably my most worn watch. I had a newer Pelagos but had the Lume pip issues that seems to plague these watches. It was covered under warranty at least and I sold it.

 

If anyone would care to share honest thoughts pro/con re: deployment clasps on NATO straps, I'd appreciate it. Anchor is all over my feed for some reason and they look pretty nice..

 

Fax.

 

Deployant on NATO no thank you.

 

I’ll slap you in the face for $20?

 

I should get a Grand Seiko SBGM221…right?

Don’t love the lack of WR or lume but trying it on today was incredible and really fits in the current collection. AD was willing to eat the sales tax too.

 

Which one do you daily?

 

That's awesome. Still (eventually) eyeing a polar Explorer II which probably steps on some of that watch's territory or else I'd strongly consider some of their sport offerings.

Obviously am a fan of the MSU color scheme too.

 

Yes, if you like it. Outstanding watch and quite possibly THE best value out there.

 

The blue strap on that makes it really pop. Beautiful watch.

 

All I can think of reading this.

 

Like I said

Spoiler

 

Hey guys.

Watch is absolutely gorgeous and wears awesome for how thick it measures.

 

Nice touch with TMB on the screen

 

Is that your ring or his?

 

The Royal Oak has grown on me. I am strongly considering adding one for my 45th birthday. They look incredible in gold too.

 

Dude is traveling with more money in watches than the average person’s net worth. Insane.

 

I was curious, so I politely asked my AI overlord. Turns out, accurate:

 

This is a weird need, but I'm searching for a shorter length leather strap with a 17mm lug width for Mrs. Tamland.

It's proven to be a tough combination to find.

Does anyone have ideas? I'll likely have one custom-made for her birthday in the fall, but I need something in the short term.

 

And an absolutely preposterous ring.

I can't imagine anyone is walking in and getting a stainless Royal Oak at retail.

They're commanding at least a $10k premium on the secondary.

 

I stand corrected.

My buddy in Vegas just replied, "totally, very possible at retail... long wait but possible."
