I have my deposit in, #1 on the list (according to the owner). We'll see what that actually means though. If I can get one this year I think that will be a success. I think the demand is going to be otherworldly.

my boss was going to go trade in 3 of his watches at Mayors to put toward a Patek. I stopped him and told him I will match Mayor's trade in price. Should be able to sell 2 of the 3 and make back all of my money.

The dial is stunning which is what caught my eye, i picked it up for whenever the mood strikes me to wear something with some color and a bit different and it checks those boxes for me.
I saw this and I like it a lot. How would you say the quality is on it? Ever handled a monster to compare it to?

The strap was terrible so I swapped it for a canvas and a pilot style strap. Also comes in a 44mm size, this one being 47.

The biggest one I have is the three popart watches and it's like 48x30 or something. Typically I get them in a 36x24 or so but they're huge resolution (15MP+) so they can go up as big as need be. I've been getting them for my house, personal use but people coming over keep telling me to sell them. I can get one for you dude, sure, I can even design a custom piece. Let me know!

^^ do you have an actual picture of the gorilla on a wall? Might be interested in it.
edit: at a desk all day anyone put a cloth or something under their keyboard to protect your watch from brushing against it?

Nah. Trying to protect your watch from small scratches is an exercise in futility. Just accept them. It will come back looking like new after a full service. Also, depending on the finish, you can usually touch them up once in a while (not too often) with a polishing cloth or a scotch brite pad.

Hi guys,
Looking to purchase a watch online and the best deals seem to always be from HK. From what I read there is no extra tax on watches there, so that would explain the low price. But then I have also heard of fake watches being mixed in, even at AD's. Has anyone had any experience buying a watch from HK online, or even better, has anyone bought a watch from the store mywatchhk?
Its a pretty expensive purchase I'm looking into (Rolex 116523 black dial) and I don't want to potentially be in the chit for a good 12k or so.
