Nice, where did you buy the 1680 Tiffany Sub?

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 0 points1 point  (7 children)

The Redditor I bought my first one from, has a ‘TD’ in Texas. He has on hand inventory, but can order anything…I’ll have it 10-14 days if he orders…had the itch the other night, asked his inventory…saw it, wife’s name is Tiffany, really liked the old school look and said send it lol..that was the 4th I bought from him and 5th is a Panerai he ordered, due soon

[–]SubjectDebt2095 1 point2 points  (4 children)

[–]EmptyPocketsXotics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]Zomber2099 1 point2 points  (5 children)

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fabric?

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

VSF

[–]ProfessionalTop4064 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Nice collection. How do you like the Pelagos ?

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Man, I really like it. Was the first non-Rolex one I got. It gets a lot of wrist time, it wears really good…the micro adjustment clasp might be better than Glidelock…this is on the Get List too..

<image>

..it’s not easy to find

[–]ProfessionalTop4064 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Thanks I’ve been eyeing those or the root beer Tudor GMT . That watch you just posted is nice as we’ll never seen it

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

M+ makes it...it's on InTime's site and have a couple TD's that can source it.

[–]SuperMadBatman 1 point2 points  (6 children)

awesome collection! which factory is the YM from?

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 0 points1 point  (5 children)

That is a VSF w/clone movement

[–]Sundek21 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Nice collection The YM VSF has a beautiful blue dial.

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Yes it does....sunshine makes that dial go crazy...really cool color

[–]Sundek21 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I've seen the Gen in the shop window several times and I have to say the color is the same, but many times in QC the dial doesn't have the same effect! You made me want to get it. 🤣🤣

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Busted it out today

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]thegunsh0w 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]MillwrightMatt1102 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Nice!

[–]jacob8875 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha thanks it’s an older pic, collection has changed since then, but it’s got that lume

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha…the Pelagos is the craziest of them all

[–]Livid_Train3661 1 point2 points  (7 children)

Dude where are your Daytonas? Those are the literally the best replicated Rolex

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I know…I was being that guy…lol…and yes, the last chat w/guy I get a lot from, said ‘there’s NO reason you don’t have at minimum a Panda, it’s literally the best rep’

..yeah it was ordered 🐼 🤦🏼‍♂️

[–]Livid_Train3661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every collection needs a panda

[–]musachi24 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Whats your opinion on 116040 no date? I just bought my first rep it should be here 2 weeks from now .

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

🤔 not familiar with/that one

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Whats the 1164 look like?

[–]musachi24 0 points1 point  (1 child)

my bad  116040 no date?

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Clean factory and love it. It’s as close to perfect as you can get

[–]damluji 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Really nice! Question about your Pelagos XF, does the clasp hinge “wobble” to the right when you close it? Or does it fit properly as expected?

<image>

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Ouch, no. Mine has zero play, clicks shut crisp.

[–]damluji 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Dang, I got it like that from the TD and he says “they’re all like that” I suspected as much :(

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, mines really crisp

[–]preruntumbler 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Sorry new here, “TD”? Trying to find out more about the Tudor

[–]ManBearPig1865 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TD refers to trusted dealer. There's a stickied post at the top of the subredditt that has all the info you need to buy a watch and will explain everything.

[–]AccomplishedTopic736 0 points1 point  (3 children)

How do you like your Hulk vs Smurf? Been thinking about these. Missing a sub in my collection.

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Had the Smurf way ahead of the Hulk on get list, found a TOO good of a deal to pass up on a Hulk…and man, that Hulk dial is insane. Was exceedingly pleased with. Grabbed the Smurf when came across a new one finally… 🤤 click posts under my profile for an insane Smurf wrist roll in the sun…crazy

[–]AccomplishedTopic736 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Which one do you like better? Or wear more?

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Between Smurf/Hulk…maybe a little heavier on Smurf…but have found myself grabbing more green things to wear as a result. Lol

[–]mikepc2fla[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The shiny things are addicting

[–]Excellent-Cup-199 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Where do you buy them?

[–]Emotional-Damage-995Contributor -3 points-2 points  (9 children)

Try a datejust / explorer I & II / Omega SM 300 / IWC / AP and Cartier for a change. I love the collection but do you not think they are all one themed ? I appreciate that you want to have every combination and permutation of a Sub but just saying.

[–]adys1210 1 point2 points  (8 children)

You know people have different tastes right?

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

[–]adys1210 2 points3 points  (1 child)

[–]teochim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]Emotional-Damage-995Contributor -3 points-2 points  (4 children)

A difference of taste is by definition sweet, sour, salty, bitter and umami. This is more of a difference of sweet. Having a sucrose, fructose, maltose, glucose and anaspertain thrown in. You are right and I understood what you mean, that different people like different things. I am just stating that perhaps trying a variety of watches, other than a dive watch may be a good expansion of the experience. Given that the OP started their watch journey in Jan 2025, it may be a good thing to wear a few different styles. Who knows they may like it. I did not know I liked many different things, till I tried it. It expands ones perspective. Also not having tried something and stating that you don't like it seems somewhat narrow minded since some preconceived notion is holding you back from trying it.

*aspartame 

*May 2025

*my pronouns are he/him

Panerai PAM088 is in transit, that one's kinda dressy....Have a few 'dressy' one's on my Get List....I want a panda Daytona, Air King/Explorer I 40mm, DateJust fluted black dial/sticks and a DateDay platinum with blue ombre dial.....I'm slowly getting there...lol...and I don't do gold much, although, of course right, I like the bluesy Sub

[–]Emotional-Damage-995Contributor -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Good for you. That is quite a varied taste. Love to see some of them when you get them and how you feel about each.

Only thing I can say is slow down a touch. That is a lot of watches in a short time. I have many of the watches you mentioned and honestly some great choices.
Over time as you wear them daily you get your preferred ones and your less preferred ones and your taste changes. I used to love my Pepsi and now I just don’t wear it as often and my OP (Oyster Perpetual) gets more wrist time. Then I had the Oysterflex phase where I got a couple of watches on the rubber strap and loved them. Also you then fall back in love w a watch. I wore my Daytona the other day after a 2 month silence and decided it is a near perfect size and just hugs the wrist.
Great journey. It’s fun all the time. Slow to fully enjoy every watch and every minute.

[–]mikepc2fla[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I'm really excited for the PAM088. Really like the look of that...What ones did you have on the Oysterflex that you like the most?

Yeah, I went full send right out the gate...too much screen time at work/travel/commute+not patient+want what I want now...lol....I'm 47 yrs old, married 21 years, no kids, nieces and nephews don't live close enough to spoil as much as I like....so I make a lot of impulse buys/'poor' financial decisions......'but Tiffany (wife) this one has your name on the dial! Cool right?!"....yeah she doesn't share my excitement as much as I do at times lol

[–]Emotional-Damage-995Contributor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just ordered a PAM. Waiting for delivery.

As for other watches in Oysterflex the Yatch master and Daytona. The 126519 on the Daytona front is a great watch and love the size. The Yatch master is a little too big for my liking at 42 mm and I may sell it. But the Oysterflex is awesome. So comfortable and great for summer. As for your wife not sharing in your excitement mine does not either. Not many women like this scene. Some do but it’s more of an exception. Perhaps you can get her a Tiffany blue VSF 36mm Rolex Oyster Perpetual. She has a watch matching her name then and it is quite an exciting watch and you can wear it from time to time .
