Watch Thread - Part Deux

Ok, surprising? I don’t think many expected them to discontinue those after one year. Doesn't affect me at all so it's whatever. Agree overall it was very meh.

 

Big win for us right hand watch wearers.

 

There are some nice new watches but nothing too interesting. I like the green face DJ.

Would buy either that or the Wimbledon dial right now if I had the opportunity. At retail price obviously.

 

The Tudor Black Bay Pro GMT was the best release. Would be perfect if not as thick as the original BB GMT.

 

Really like the new day-dates, and the improvements to the Air King case and bracelet are excellent.

Still dislike the dial, but it’s an overall improved model now.

 

This white gold with diamond and sapphire yacht master was shown in Jenna’s video, but I don’t see it listed on Rolex’s site.

I would just like to go on record here as saying that I will not be purchasing this:

 

Is that a YM 37? 40? 42? 44? I could see some ladies liking it.

 

40.

Seems an odd choice, but what do I know?

 

I like the YG green dial day date.

 

Do any of you use any at home polishing/cleaning kits? The nano clear brand keeps popping up on Instagram and seems legit. Thoughts?

 

I think you’re falling for IG ads.

 

Welp. Gonna have to buy that beauty.

 

Showed it to my wife last night and, to my amazement, her reply was, “How much is it? It’s an investment, right?”

 

Right there with you, The Blackfish.

 

Wow, can’t believe I took this watch out of her glass case to wear to work today.

 

Jeez that 532OG is awesome.

 

The 5326 is quirky and amazing too

 

tbh, I'm not sure I'll ever buy one of those

 

I don't mind the bezel. I don't mind it being left handed. But a lefty only bezel is weird. Should have made it left and right.

 

It just looks upside down to me.

 

The second hand looks like the key to open up your iPhone.

 

When are these moon swatches going to be available?

 

I'm indifferent to destro watches, but I'm underwhelmed by the bezel coloration and 9 o'clock date window.

 

What do you cunts think of this watch? And Oris in general.

 

43.5mm is a bit big for me but I like their divers a lot. Oris seems like an awesome company, really hoping the put their new in-house into a few different model types beyond the divers and the new pro-pilots they announced.

 

I have that watch on a rubber strap. I like it a lot. Oris is really solid in the pricepoint.

 

I’d say buy it pre-owned, but that price is essentially what it’s going for on r/watchexchange

 

Agree with that. They don't hold value very well.

 

I’ve been really tempted to pickup one of these 80th anniversary bronze big crown pointer dates pre-owned for this exact reason. Good watches, brand prestige just isn’t there.

 

Love mine. I'd just caution you that many Oris's use a weird lug setup, so it's probably not the best choice if you like to swap straps

 

I don't tend to sell once I buy, but wouldn't it going preowned for what it can be bought new be a sign that it does hold value well? I don't think anyone's paying $2200 for a new aquis.

 

I think at that price it will hold value. Some people are buying watches right now knowing they will increase in value, oris won't do that. There is definitely a market for them and they are frequently sold on r/watchuseek.

 

No one buying a watch from a brand outside of the big three should be expecting their watch to appreciate.

 

Vacheron and Richard Mille I suppose too.

 

Plenty of others to add, but they’re generally hard to get and expensive. Laurent ferrier, a Lange, fp journe, etc.

 

I’ve seen VC in Vegas boutique.

I have no idea where I could even buy an FP Journe or A Lange if I had the means.

 

Not a bad little Saturday

 

New acquisition, Ball Gag Giorgio ?

 

Awesome congrats. What was the connection to swing that?

 

Supposedly the wife's will arrive in July - I'm just ready to get the damn thing at this point - it was supposed to be a gift for her for Christmas.
