I currently have a Tissot! I haven't really looked into Longines, but I'll do that right now. Thanks for not BSing me. I was looking at a crossbody bag by Shinola (they have a store in my city) and the rep was feeding me what I wanted. Reps.

No luck brahs. Went to 4 different ADs in NYC and none of them had ANY OP 39s in any colorways in stock. All of them kept saying they're sold out from Christmas and it would take 8-12 weeks to order. I'm probably just going to purchase from David but would've loved to at least had the opportunity to try one on before buying. Thanks again and I'll keep you guys updated.

Thoughts on these two puppies for my wedding? I don't like silver dials or white gold, which leaves surprisingly few options.
Same size, same price. Leaning towards the VC because it's simple as possible- manual/no seconds/solid caseback- and that best fits my idea of a dress watch.

Don't know dress watches well, and this is probably well under your price range considering, but hey who knows. Looks gorgeous and simple in person.

I personally like the VC out of those two. Not a fan of the Bréguet numerals.
I would also look into the A Lange & Sohne “Saxonia”. You can find it with or without running seconds (I like the running seconds) plus there seem to be a number of dial color and case variants

I started off looking at cheaper things eventually decided I'd rather have something to go with something a bit beyond what I wear now to keep it special.

Definitely try in person, they wear large. Don't worry about the 5167r, you will not see one.

Ho Lee Fuk. You can tell I don't read any watch forums because I was completely unaware of that scarcity. Always assumed new prices on chrono24 were around msrp.
I've been in there a couple times to service my sub, but never really looked around. Definitely going to go in next week.

There is a Rolex store at the mall near me, I can’t go in and buy/order exactly what I want?
Anyway, BigRangs and twovalvekid can speak to this much better than me. Many thanks to both of them with my first purchase of the OP 39 (purchased from DavidSW). Pics incoming soon.

Just out of curiosity, how much did you spend on those?

Okay so guise.
When looking at the good entry level mechanicals like Khaki king, Tissot visodate etc, is the general consensus that you just buy a new one every 5-7 years since service is the same cost as a new one?
I don't think I have places that can do servicing on automatics in my poverty island.
If you're spending under 1k, is it better to just go quartz instead?

I've never really thought about that, but I looked it up and the pricing doesn't seem too bad. $190 for a full overhaul, $50 for partial (I don't know what 'partial' means but probably lube and adjustment). Those are my estimates btw since CHF is pretty close to USD.

I'm turned off by Rolex now. Lurked on RolexForum and there is no way that I am jumping through those hoops to buy a watch. Those *******s are buying their AD's gifts to curry favor….
I still want one, but there is no way Im buying something grey with the amount of counterfeits that Rolex has. I'll wait for tulip mania to die down….

Plus i'm certain Rolex and Patek Philippe owners have a respect for Timex and Casio simply because they're not trying to be anything they're not (like those abominations ZhengTerry posted).

As you stated before, non-watch folk aren't going to pay attention to anything that's not Rolex or Cartier. I'd buy whatever YOU like that you're okay with having to replace in 5 years. Quartz or automatic. $50 or $500

Really made me believe you need to see watches in person.
The gold 3-6-9 disappears in most angles and "declutters" the dial. The green stands out WAY MORE in pics (even mine) than it does in person. Hell, half the time im out and the green rolex is not even legible on the black dial.

I completely agree with the "see it in person before you buy" thought process.
Just back from Vegas where I do a lot of window shopping (not buying) and it's good to see stuff you think you like in person and then see stuff you didn't know you like.
One of the surprises this year was from Breitling. Aviator 8. Stunning in person, IMO.
I was also reminded how much I like the IWC Pilot Spitfire and Zenith Pilot. Thinking I'll pull the trigger one of these days on a IWC.

So I flew home and surprised my girl this week, she had a christmas present waiting for me. I think she's a keeper.
She herself doesn't know chit about watches, but she was gifted a Cartier Tank Solo for graduation. It's a nice little fashion/accessory piece, but she has had it for over 4 years and it is DEFINITELY in need of some tinder love and care. Under normal room light conditions it looks great, but if you get this bad boy in sunlight the scratches are pretty substantial. My christmas present to her is taking it to the Cartier boutique to do a service on the parts and polish, only costing $210. I could get it done for less elsewhere but I'd rather have the extra boujee touch for my girl. Current/Before pics in spoiler.

I completely agree with the "see it in person before you buy" thought process.
Just back from Vegas where I do a lot of window shopping (not buying) and it's good to see stuff you think you like in person and then see stuff you didn't know you like.
One of the surprises this year was from Breitling. Aviator 8. Stunning in person, IMO.
I was also reminded how much I like the IWC Pilot Spitfire and Zenith Pilot. Thinking I'll pull the trigger one of these days on a IWC.

Good book. Also check out A Man & His Watch. You've probably heard about it, but if not get a copy. Really good and not expensive.
