Fukin sad brahs. My JLC master calendar was swiped out of a drawer I kept it in. I’m not sure exactly when it happened, but we had a lot of renovation in the home recently, so it could have been a worker from a number of companies (including home health aids for my disabled sister). I wanted to give that one to my son. Sucks brahs. YeahI’mmad.
The only good thing to come of this is I’ll probably end up buying an ultra thin moonphase as a replacement at some point.

You should be able to get back the cost or even more if you sell the oyster since your AD isn't supposed to sell it to you unless you can provide proof of a model that allows it. I would keep both and get a Bergeon 7825 and use both.
Thoughts?

And the whole they have to keep the old one thing is BS as well. They generally do have that policy, but people just remove the bracelet and say they lost it or something and then they sell them a new one. The only thing was that before it was counterintuitive since you could only order the bracelet it came on which you already have, but now since it comes on either, you can get the other one if you want.

that will probably be the cheapest watch you see there. i was there 4 years ago with some business partners and one of the guys spent 500k on a table and didnt even flinch. they all had RM's on, before the hype train hit. purchased at a DISCOUNT from their dealer…imagine what it's worth now

Got this in last week.
Questions:
Is this band really considered sports? Seems dressy for me?
Was thinking of switching to a black rubber clasp band, thoughts?
So far I love it and dig the dial and everything. Also can you adjust the amount of time lost by taking it to be calibrated?

you can regulate it to some degree, but it's probably not worth it and it could always start losing time again. unless it's losing a ton of time

If the site shows a certain price, what can someone like myself expect to receive for the same item?
Say the site shows $15k for a blue datejust, does that mean we could expect to receive that much? Or would we get a bit less so that the reseller can make a profit?

You take the car and I don't want to hear from you if you find problems a week from now or change your mind.

Thanks for that, I just wanted to make sure if I wear it with some shorts and casual boat wear or gym wear that I wont look like an idiot wearing a dress watch.
As for rubber I think I will see if I can swap out my g-shock rubber strap and see how it looks.
I was curious about the time, I haven't noticed its off by much. I ask after watching a lot of repair videos and they put it on that machine and adjust it to lose the least amount of seconds per day.

But could be way off. You could punch in the model of the datejust on crown and calibers website and it'll tell you exactly what they'll give you for it instantly.
