https://www.tissotwatches.com/en-us/T1374103302100.html It was $375 when I bought it a few years back. No way I’d drop $500 on it. These are pretty dope, but again, not happening for $1,000. https://www.tissotwatches.com/en-us/T1379079720100.html
That’s exactly why I asked. I think it’s the different movement but couldn’t figure out exactly the huge jump in price
That’s a definite buy. You won’t regret it. Looks great on bracelet and tons of NATO and sailcloth straps.
This has been a fun vintage piece from the late 60s. Significantly more fun once someone explained the quick set feature for the date function:
My out the door was 3800 USD. Said they can uniquely do 20% off and ship to my house in the states. Not a bad deal as nice used ones are 3400 on Reddit. I’m here a few more days so might go back and do it. I just also have a Tudor GMT so they are kinda similar.
Similar sure but that colorway is obviously exclusive to Harrod’s and I’m always in favor of adding another three hand watch.
Stopped by the Rolex store to see what the happening was. They said wait times are down, lol. I asked what the wait time on a 41 mm datejust was just for the hell of it. She said 3-6 months. Submariner is 8-12 now. Not sure if I actually believe her.
Ran into a friend this weekend who I don't see very often. I did not know that he was a watch guy. He was wearing one of these. A couple of years ago I wouldn't have given it another look but now that I am a bit more educated....
Did it come with that strap or did you add that? I've got the mission to the moon and like it but hate the strap, just been too lazy to swap.
Went from "we'll have to check with VC in Geneva, to see when we can get the Traditionnelle you want - that reference is getting discontinued" last month in Boston, to getting offered 2 in the last 48 hours. That said, have a delivery coming tomorrow that I'm stoked about.
Doesn’t it though? Every asshole $70,000-aire has a sub. Takes a real watch dork to know that’s gold.
Any suggestions for sourcing a Seiko Alpinist SBCJ031? Wanting to get a ~$1k GMT and I’ve fallen in love with this model, but finding it has been an entirely different story. Spoiler
Seems as though you're going to be at the mercy of r/watchexchange or Chrono 24. I'd avoid Reddit for now; they need to sort out their account integrity. Too many people getting scammed in the past months.
So good. Ran into one of these for retail in London, had a momentary heart attack thinking they were in the normal submariner range then remembered it was white gold and way out of my price range.
https://www.chrono24.com/seiko/alpinist-titanium--mod3032-cm5.htm How much does the titanium and perpetual calendar matter to you? There are a lot of alpinist GMT available with a similar vibe, this one you like appears to be japan only and there are not many of them.
They’re definite selling points, and I also very much prefer the numeral indices in conjunction with the sharks teeth indices. I’m in no rush to spend just for the sake of spending, so I’ll probably keep my eye on the usual resellers online and hope one pops up sooner than later. We’ll see.
PM Daytonas look so good on oysterflex. Good on you, brother. Smoking and enjoying a beautiful spring day myself. (Shoutout to my boys at MotoEscape Atlanta.)
