Since 1919 boyo lol. I wonder how that works. Find some old company that could have sold farm equipment or some chit, buy it for $50 and start slapping it on whatever you want.

A better sign off would of been "murican capitalism", god knows he doesn't want to be seen wearing an american made watch. What should he have uploaded… Shinola? roflcoptor. Could have been worse, he could have uploaded a russian made komandirski (which I owned once, and wasn't half bad #nocomunism)

Swiss are neutral, they don't count as anything *******s. And Hamilton is about as Swiss as they come these days. RGM is the only good American watch company I know of.

Unfortunately, they were only engineers and scientists, and not safe crackers.

Yet really wondering wtf they actually got from a genuine curiosity standpoint given the fukkery of ADs.
But i do agree. We all have our opinions, but the more i frequent R/P, i think there need to be some limits who can post there. Meaning, you have to have some level of contribution outside in the rest of the misc.

There is definitely good stuff in there. While I couldn't get any concrete info from my AD, I pressed pretty hard and the best I got was the smirk of "yeah obviously we have stuff back there but I'm not gonna tell you what." I'm not even sure the salespeople know exactly what's in there except for maybe they're told there's a Sub or something. Any time I inquire about a hard to find piece for curiosity's sake she tells me to speak to the owner directly.

For $4k which watch would you buy? Tudor or Carl Bucherer?
-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work….. who work later…..who work harder…… who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.
-I'd rather live life saying "I failed" than "I could have"

i know carl bucharer is a bit more "zesty" brandwise, but my money would be on Tudor here but i'm biased since i own one.

Tudor, no question. My Tudor knowledge isn't great, but I think you posted the BB with the ETA movement (smiley face self winding text–again, not a Tudor expert) that a lot of people prefer because it's slimmer. I would go with the BB58 if it were for me, as it comes in a more wearable size.
That Bucherer would have to be at least 50% off for me to even consider it, which I still wouldn't.

If not, im just going to go gray a look for a good deal. Not going to buy a watch i really dont want to get one i want. In the end ill save some coin.

Some sports, some dress, some nice pieces, some ****ters. Nice well rounded collection m8
The Speedmaster was bought by my dad in the early 70s and I still have the box, receipt, and papers along with the original bracelet. I usually keep it on a brown bulang strap. YM and Sub were hand me downs from him as well. I’ll never get rid of any of those 3.
Future potential purchases are an El Primero, Reverso, and DJ41 with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet.
