I can only assume you bros bothered with the SD43 because of collection purposes. I always thought the SD was a bulkier, less aesthetic submariner and both of you already had way less boring stuff in your collection.

I like the standard selfwinding 41mm version. Can't get with the offshores.

Well if you're moving to VA at least now you'll actually have a chance of being able to afford a rental lol. Fuk trying to get into the NY real estate market.

It's not so bad up here in Upstate NY. In my area, i could easily get stuff rented and getting into houses around the 200k mark. Problem is the sunk costs to get in. In NY, closing costs alone (outside of down payment naturally) is 10K. That's a lot of purchasing power disappearing when youre looking at purchasing condos and townhomes to get rented.

SD43 fits surprisingly well but i still find it too large. I don't think it will stay in the collection long. AD won't care if I chop if as it isn't very difficult to get. Also I have a Batman so the SD43 is redundant. I don't get people who have a GMT, a Sub, and Seadweller. They are literally 3 very similar watches with minimal differences. Worst are people who have multiple subs or GMTs

Same for me. I was playing with my friend's a couple weeks ago when I was drunk, and was thinking of making him an offer for it since I know he's not crazy about it. Somehow I managed to take pics of it on my wrist and saw them the next day and was like damn that chit is way too big for me. Enforcer can pull it off.

Always loved the way the SK's looked. Love the all black/Mercedes hands modded ones too. One of those is definitely on my list.

Got it in early 2018 and waited for a week.

I have a long relationship with the AD though and just purchased an 1815 chronograph.

Gotcha. Recently got my first, and have what i would say is at least a "positive" relationship with my AD. Being local in the small, touristy town helps. I may be moving soon though for a pseudo promotion, and may stop in if i hear anything and mention it.

They were all super nice so i ended up getting the guy that worked with me a growler of beer he liked. lol. Don't give a fukk, im a business oriented person and enjoy putting smiles on faces. He had a very positive response to it about having things for me in the new year.

So we'll see…

I have been eyeing it for awhile but was reserving judgement until I actually saw it in person but my ad never had one in stock. Went in yesterday and they randomally had one.

Blue dial is spectacular and the easy strap change nice to have as the watch looks really good on rubber, so I bought it.

Will say the royal oak is still a bit nicer. Overall just better finishing on the bracelet and case.

No more watches for me until Christmas unless a nautalis comes available to me at retail lol

A few years ago a friend asked me what he should buy (already had Rolex, AP, Panerai), I told him to get a 5711. Lightly used were going for 25k or so. He lost interest so I said fuk it I'll buy one. Then I lost interest and can't tell you how many I turned down at 25-26k. And now here we are LOL.

yeah it's pretty nuts. I am actually not a big fan of the 5711 (obv if i was offered one at retail I would take it and either sell/trade) but I love the 5712.

Does your AD carry patek? Unfortunately the AD i have a relationship with doesn't carry it (they carry Rolex, Lange, VC, AP). The AD who carries patek around here is one of the worst dealers I have ever dealt with

Between two ADs I use they sell pretty much anything except PP and AP, which unfortunately are the two that I'm interested in right now. I've been slowly chipping away at the PP AD I met a year or so ago, but it's not easy. I stop by every couple months, went in with a friend who bought some jewelry…

lol, that's why i decided on a jeweler instead of the cartier boutique to refurbish my girl's watch. she brought a necklace along to get a pearl replaced.

I totally recommended the place because i was thinking from the jeweler's perspective. "guy is bringing his girl in to polish a Cartier, work on a necklace, buy some more jewelery, and buy a tudor whilst look at rolexes…" I figure that looks way better than going to a watch only boutique and tire kicking JLC's, Rolexes, and Pateks all day.

Also just posting this because i don't hear much about it. As a complication geek, this has got to be my favorite Patek by far. They make more "complicated" watches, but the design of this one is borderline perfect. Same reason why I love the sky dweller. God-tier ratios of horology and style

Cyber Security and Compliance Consultant. Work entirely from home. No wife/kids, just a girlfriend that is equally smart with money as i am. I've had money to purchase a couple watches now but i set days/dollars for specific purchases and don't succumb to impulse.
