For sure! I've got a 150+ watch sale going on right now, and finally launching my website next month

Picked up the Tudor Pelagos this past weekend. Been searching for a titanium watch for quite a while now, and when I walked into the AD they had just received a shipment of Tudor watches the night before. I looked at quite a few of the ones they had and got to handle them and try them out. This one really spoke to me, and feels super quality. It has the best bracelet I have ever tried, and feels lightweight without feeling cheap. The foldover clasp with ceramic bearings on each is so satisfying to latch and unlatch. Keeping nearly perfect time at less than +1 sec per day over the first week.

Citizen Miyota movements? Fuks sake plus excluding the chronos, they're all blatant rips of Jaeger Le Coultre designs.

If you want something nice you can buy with burner cash at least go with Seiko, a brand that stands proud in their poverty price point and isn't trying to be something they're not.

not bad brad. haven't tried on a tudor yet, but i've only heard good things about the quality and the Black Bay Bronze seems to be calling my name a little louder with each passing month.

Not sure what the watch snobbery is about. It's a cheap watch I like the look of, I don't care about the movement in a $400 watch bruh.

It's watch for fun.

That angle is valid. For what it's worth, the Seiko Presage can be had for $270

I don't know, men. I'm not feeling the standard paint by numbers approach.

Found this local guy assembling watches in a spare room of his mom's house lmao. I wouldn't call them super original groundbreaking designs, but they look nice, cost $1500, and I can respect a guy shooting his shot.

I still prefer the look of the Pan-Africa over the Presage, but thanks.

Anyone know about wait times at AD - mine says my 116400gv was "ordered" but there is no definite delivery time. My purchase history is my wifes engagement ring and our wedding bands.

Did you stop in other local ADs and see what they say?

With a purchase history I don't think it should take more than a month or two, but Rolex shuts down for a couple weeks during the holidays, so hopefully you can get it before then. Just ask your AD what they think.

Watch of the day. Ignore the ig tags and such. In a battle with myself, one day I want to buy a few watches I really like, and the other day I want to just save for a Speedy that I love. Ugh

How long did you wait for the Rolex? Or did you pay up in the grey market?

p.s. how did you take this pic? I'm really hoping that it was a GoPro strapped to your head!

One year from AD, and I put my phone over the kitchen counter and felt like an idiot but I wanted to show off my Fitbit.
