and no actually i had no idea rolex are non-profit .. hmm
also, from my observation, a LOT of decisions are made in the US (?) or here at least based on social perception and/or reaction. imho being in a cult or niche just to be in the niche is just the same as giving in to a trend or fad.

i agree that you can't beat a bracelet watch for the quality, history, and most importantly appeal - as well as holding its worth. to me they truly are timeless pieces and have stopped acquiring them because of the new bigger cases which did not appeal to me as they deviated from what i had in mind. not that i think less of them, but just that i did not fall in love with them

try the ss/plat Yachtmaster, imho it is the most underrated rollie.
the gmtii c is a huge hit and that is because of its sportiness AND classiness at the same time complemented by how you dress.
the now-previous sub is a great watch and i prefer the brushed bracelet.
daytona is great but you must love it before you buy it and not buy it because of the demand for it.
datejusts (36mm) are great to me because of the huge variety in dials which set a very different tone accordingly

i would love to go back to not having a single rollie and enjoying the hunt(s) trying on and reading up on all the models

 

Ok you guys win. I give. I'm buying one tonight


Bahahaha
Asg you know I did preface that a lot of people I know from tS as well are not douche. I won't change my opinion that more are idiots flaunting it than not. Does that mean everyone? Nope not at all.

I also respect everyone's opinion as I always do.

I just can't wear a watch that everyone has. It's not in me and never will be.

Rolex non profit lots of places claim that. It doesn't mean the top 15 guys in the company don't split the millions at the end of the year in bonuses to keep non profit status

I don't care one way or the other on for or non profit. I hope if you are in business you do make money.

I've also never once dissed the watch maker themselves although there are only two or three I would wear. I own one of those as well. I am a douche tho so SEE most are douche.


I stand behind my claim that a watch collection NEVER has to have a Rolex. I watch collection should have a Patek. After all didn't those two cats make the first wrist watch? Maybe a Bregeut because they are the first makers of most of the original movements?

But in all honesty a collection of Swatches to me is a watch collection. Anytime someone loves watches and buys them in mass they are a true collector in my book whether $80 bucks each or $80k each.

I'm good with all. Except you douchebag Rolex wearing cvcksockers

 

Pm sent

On a side note:
Does anyone want to buy a GMT llc

I did inquire once because I like the looks on one of those blacked out Millagas (spelling?) but found out that that was all aftermarket and not factory. I lost interest. Those look cool.

I also only own one bracelet watch in my stuff and highly doubt I will ever add another. They aren't my style.

 

I like the rose gold.

 

Yes the all PVD milgauss is ****ing sexual.. I love it

 

the blue wg is the best looking rollie out, imho.

fwiw, ive worn the same gmtii (blk and red) for 15 years straight and have never considered replacing it. its a keeper.

your collection deserves a nice rolex!

 

That's a good looking watch but I was told they are aftermarket. I don't like that.

 

The Everose Gold Daytona with leather strap is amazing

 

Yeah, Prohunter is the customizer.
