lol at getting a VC Overseas blue for 18k these days. need to add at least 6k. even the silver goes for 20k on secondary now
I tried it on twice and didn’t like it either time. Too wide or something where the bracelet meets. I thought they were 17k

$13,550 + tax, bought from an official dealer. Wasn't aware that paying with cash could potentially yield a small discount. In hindsight, I find that hard to believe in the current market since these watches get scooped up so quickly.
Also kind of regret not buying from a place like WatchguyNYC.. could've gotten it for $13,800 no tax if I did a wire transfer, but then I believe that's not an AD
Edit: I found a tiny scratch on the bottom of the clasp. Worth making a fuss over?

I want another watch but I’m fighting off the urge. Need all my coin for stonks and I was talking to an AirBNB Co host today about potential properties near Disney which would be like an 80k invesrment(60k down on 250k home +20K furnishings, gonna make it Disney themed and put in some arcade machines)
If CCiV announces and hits like 120 I think it would be celebration time though with a 4-5k piece(El primero, nomos worldtimer, or iwc Portuguese)

I have a bad feeling about CCIV though. Don't think its normal to take this long after rumor.

That would prob be one of biggest bag holdings ever if it tanked. Praying it works out and hits QS/NKLA levels so I could dump and use capital elsewhere. I spent 11 hours today reading about Spacs and have a list of like 7 I’m going to go hard on SCVX TWCT to start

Yea, not sure but it's barely noticeable.
Hmm I'm kind of worried now.. I'm not sure this is even a sundust dial. The guy I spoke to on the phone told me it was an everose dial, but there's no such thing according to the website, and when I spoke to another guy in person he told me it was sunburst dial. Says sunburst on the receipt. I just figured he meant sundust. Am I wrong here?

They didnt have any other noteworthy watches except for ladies. They had another everose dj41 sundust with diamond markers and some cellini moonphase watches.. thats about it for mens.

Hopefully you showed interest in other watches while you were there, and acted like you were gonna be a big buyer. They might hit you up if they got a rare model in. If you didn’t I’d go back and thank them again, and I wouldn’t mention that small scratch on the clasp. Relationship with the AD is the most important thing.
Edit- walked into work today and my Dad is looking at Daytona’s online. He’s been rocking the same breitling for like 25-30 years. Tried my best to talk him into pulling the trigger on the steel black or white dial, he was looking at a gold one. But he held off since he’s remodeling his house…but I think I got the idea planted in his head.

Holy crap guys. Went into the AD just to look. Met the owner and we talked a bit and he told me to hold on. He went in the back and broought out an all steel black seadweller. Had to get it.
So freaking excited. Thanks tug of peace for putting the idea to run by in my head.

because the everose strap/bezel is also equally appealing.

Also, all these DJ41 posts have me thinking the stainless steel version with the rhodium grey dial would be the ideal complement to my two tone blue sub, something for when I want to be more under the radar. I like this simple, elegant design

I got it because I really wanted an all steel sports model rolex. The two tone will stay on the rubber strap. And if I find it is to redundant I’ll sell the two tone.

Definitely happy with the purchase. At first he said he had a deep sea, and I wouldn’t have been interested in that really. I know you’re not a big fan of the black subs and similar models.

I specifically remember your posts, and was aware of it when buying. I'm just under yellow lighting all day at home. I have no issue with the dial, just wasn't sure of what I was seeing. So I'm not crazy right? This is normal? You had mentioned your dial looked like a dull silver, mine usually looks like a faint pink.

Thanks man. The red letters on the sea dweller look hnnngh too imo. The owner was talking to me about what I do for a living, and asked if I ever shopped there before (I hadn’t). Then he said he loves building new relationships with clients. Really nice guy.

Just picked it up and a couple of the store managers were checking me out, and they were mind blown the owner sold it to me like that. Lol one said he’s had people waiting 18 months for it. Could tell they were a little rustled. Will upload pics when I get home.

Would you guys ever consider getting a DJ41 in blue on top of the one I just got (DJ41 in everose + sundust)? I took a closer look at the skydweller which I may eventually buy and apparently it's fairly large on my wrist size and the vertical measurement makes it a bulky watch. I just figured it would be better to diversify the type of watch I get for the blue dial; just not sure if it's common to have multiple colors of the same type.

Looking for a durable everyday beater - was thinking Longines Conquest but now I'm torn between Sinn 856 i, Aqua Terra, or IWC Mark xviii. I think the Omega is maybe too expensive I and would care about it too much.
Thoughts?

I eventually want a blue dial, black dial, and silver (with different designs, I don't want four DJ41s, just two at most).. that would probably be the end for me. Now I'm not even sure I want the TT black/gold submariner.. hmm. DJ seems like a popular watch, are there any similar comparable alternatives? Think I'm going to get one more watch then call it good for the year lol. Maybe just a blue DJ41, keep it simple.
