picked up another ebay 10% discount piece, will be fun to have two spares to wear when i travel overseas and not worry about getting mugged.

Getting my Seamaster serviced. Since my dad owned it I doubt he ever got it serviced so I will have it back in about 6 - 7 weeks.

sup bois. been awhile. market is crazy but was able to pick up a skyD on jubliee and WG pepsi meteorite this year.
Three heavy hitters. I asked the owner of my AD if he could get me the meteorite, and he said he'll put me down but doesn't think he'll even be able to get one for the couple of people in front of me.
in other news i sold my AP RO chrono last spring to partially finance a real estate purchase, for 47k…. CAD… FML

If I may ask, whats the cost and conversation like when picking out someone to service it? Just go to authorized seller who also services?
Edit: To everyone: Best nato straps? Do you just toss em in the washer if you sweat and such? Best place for rubber clasp bands?

feel bad for the people just getting into the hobby though. these days you have to spend hundreds of thousands to get assigned "hot" pieces, which is basically every rolex now.

Not overly interested in paying current prices after the asset inflation we've seen during the last two years – have prices for Patek and Lange blown up in the same way?

Ever have a watch in your collection appreciate so much that you feel like you almost have to sell it?

Is BeckerTime on eBay a decent seller for pre-owned Rolex?
Any other suggestions? I'm looking for a Datejust 36mm Jubilee. I'd prefer to keep it <$4k, but not sure if that is possible in this market.

Found a decent 1979 16030 DJ locally. I got the guy down to $4k cash. No papers, but the guy has an extensive positive feedback history on several watch forums. The Jubilee band was a “must have” for me. Should I pull the trigger?

Hate me or not, I got this and its actually pretty decent quality. I think this will fuel my desire to get a Rolex. I like the feel, the dial, and all in all wear ability.

Edit: not coming off argumentative……curious if I am missing out on something. Not yet ready to spend 1k on a watch so keeping it lower than 300$ and even lower than that for now.
Can you show me what you'd get for 120?
This watch has:
Miyota movement (not great but works)
Sapphire crystal
Solid links
100m water
Screw down crown
Not really a clone, just homage……has their brand on the dial. lol not splitting hairs but also most people wouldn't know its a Rolex homage because not many know about the bamboo dial……It's still new af yeah? I think it came out last year?

very reputable brand (under seiko epson corporation)
in-house movement with hacking and handwinding
200m water resistance with screw down crown
excellent lume
day + date complications
the only cons are the mineral crystal and the bracelet, but for the price i'm willing to overlook that and both issues are solved if you step up to a different orient (like the kamasu) closer to that $250-300 price range.
and you're right, most people (unless they're enthusiasts) won't think it's a rolex because of that bamboo dial. but still, i personally would not feel comfortable wearing a knockoff regardless of what other people think. but again to each their own.
