I dunno why anyone would pay these crazy prices for a new Rolex. I was just looking at a vintage 1967 pepsi GMT on Craft & Tailoed for $14,000 that mogs any of these new releases.

And from what I've seen the Rolex bracelets have came a long way over the years. Still would rock that vintage in a heartbeat though.

But yeah at one point i thoght about getting an IWC as my beater instead of an Omega AT. Couldn't bring myself to do it since they look so Daniel Wellington-like at a cursory glance.
I'd be ready to fight someone if they mistook an A Lange purchase for a DW. love the AP though for sure.

lolz. I also thought the "grotesque" on the old GMT numbers was troll attempt. To me the older GMT (in pepsi form) is more of the classic GMT. Dont like the colors on the new one
Hot take, maybe i just dont like the pepsi for one reason or another in new form.

unpopular opinion… not a big fan of GMTs in general. the SS sub WAS all i ever wanted but came to the reality i will probably never own one because i am too "scared" to buy grey and will never suck enough AD dink to have one.

Don't mind GMTs but think blue and red on a bezel looks juvenile. Tis why i'm fond of the BLNR or the rosegold CHNR. Black and Blue or Black and Maroon aligns better with my taste. Would be really cool if Rolex rereleased the Black and Red Coke. I'd be interested in that as well.

I always hear Daniel Wellington as the butt of jokes, but never really knew what they were until looking them up after reading the last few posts. So, obviously piece of chit fashion watches (no surprise), but the interesting part was that Odell Beckham is an ambassador for them lmao. This is a semi-interesting article about the situation and him rocking some Richard Milles (and a fake) while becoming a DW ambassador:

So your goal watches are the aqua terra, blue dj41, and BLNR?

This is actually why i want an aqua terra as my beater. There is just no hiding the fluted bezel jubilee bracelet in any configuration (this is also the reason why i rolfcopter'd about that guy saying a breitling avenger was just as good). While i do love it, there are times where i don't want to be doing all THAT you know? I think the green dial AT will be just unique enough, and built just well enough to where i'll actually want to reach for it and wear it. As opposed to my tudor bronze which frankly, i now only wear as a charity case to it lol.

The grey and blue does look sick. Love the green as well. Even though I already have a blue one I’d love to get the green eventually.
My dream would be to have a hulk, blnr, and full Precious metal piece while keeping the seadweller for the plain Jane black rolex. But wouldn’t want to pay over 15 let alone 20 for either a Hulk or BLNR so will probably never happen.
This pic really shows off how nice those full PM pieces look.
Would be hard for me to choose between the platinum Daytona, platinum day date, and the yellow gold day date.

Looking for a 3 watch roll holder and damn these things are expensive.
The Everest 3 watch roll is nearly $400. Cheapest I found was 200. Anybody have any recommendations?

Now that the AD is out of the question and it will be grey for me, the DJ is much harder to justify if im "meh" about it. Even though the blue stick/fluted/jubilee sells for barely above MSRP + tax.

Wolf is pretty solid. These ones are usually a couple hundred bucks so this one is a pretty good deal. I posted a deal from their site a coupe months back and sale items were 70% off the sale price. I ended up with three different rolls during the sale. The only annoying thing is this model has those ring dividers so you have to remove one to get to the center watch unless its on a strap.
Pretty sure this is the same one: https://www.wolf1834.com/blake-watch-roll#93=9

What is that in the backgroud? Hamilton Murph? looks better than any of those rolex TBH. Polished centerlinks always look like ****, If my YM wasn't a gift I'd trade it in bc of the polished center links
