can you explain what horlogical value is, never heard that before
& well i mean you could say that about any watch no?
you can buy a sub 100 dollar gold looking seiko and accomplish the same goal as the $40k rolex day date
i think the movado's look nicer because the face or plate thing on them is yellow/gold too unlike the ones he posted
unless there are also ones with the yellow gold face too for those brands?

Have been looking at these nonstop for the past month. Can't pull the trigger yet. If I still want it in 6 months, I am buying one.

The dink is opening shop in the vintage department. Doubt that they'll have a big influence though as their turnover will be low and bargains are non existent. You do get somebody else to do the research for you and they'll want to protect their name in case they wrongly asses something, best insurance you can get.
Also lold at 80% of their shop selling out on the first day.
That strapfinder however is some pure gold if they get some more models in, test straps on the dink purchase from a site with realistic prices. This is still the company that claimed the average income of their readers was north of 200k.

I have mixed feelings on the hulk sub. It's a hit or miss for me. I absolutely love the batman, though. One of my favorite Rolex watches of all time.
Also, what does the MWC think about the black vs white dial Daytonas? I just don't think the black dial does Rolex any justice (unless it's an Explorer or Submariner). That said, both watches are quite lovely.

The blue dial 15300 is one of the great classics.
but since thickness is the only aesthetic difference, most people cant tell the difference. and the 15300 should be a bargin

Not online, have a couple friends in the area (NYC) that do what you would call grey market dealing of watches. They sell pre-owned without warranty and sometimes without papers/boxes but at heavy discounts. I paid $4k for it so pretty cheap tbh

I know what GM vendors are brah, it's just that the way he wrote it reads to me as "grey market".
