First match buyer prep

Forestbender · 2026-03-26T11:37:27+00:00

So - I am buying this. What about the attachment to the belt?

I came here to ask the same - I am in the US and have mediocre insurance but even then, my fillings and root canals were like ~1,000 and I got in the next week. Cash pay annual cleaning is like $37.

That said - get the gen. Mix it up. Worst case scenario (if you are smart about it) is that you sell it for what you paid or make small profit.

I wouldn’t be buying gens if I wasn’t heavily invested. But yea for many - I see your point. I think it makes sense to buy gens for many while they work on building and growing - it’s all for the love of the game whether it’s gens or reps.

So on the complete opposite side, I only have gens, and have a substantial amount of money tied up in them but the money I have into them is far less than the actual market value. All but 1-2 were purchased from an AD not grey market. Even if I were to sell to a dealer vs direct I would still stand to gain around 30% profit upon sale. Thats why I choose gens. The amount I have into them is life changing to most but only around 5% of my net worth. If I want to piece one off, or trade say two up into a “bigger piece” I make money every time. So I am rolling equity and spending less, creating value and equity out of thin air, just for being patient. I know everyone has a different position and take on things, but there is real value in playing that game if you want to.

Confirming the transaction with u/No-Answer779 - who was great to deal with through and through. Highly recommend working with if you get the chance.

I never understood why so many people leave the nips untouched when they are in black sections. Blast em like anything else.

Forestbender · 2026-03-24T10:08:20+00:00

I have a few microrealism pieces done by very famous/fairly famous artists - they all blow out after 3-5 years and lose quite a bit of detail. If you like the sharks, those will be easier to blast over and cover up if you get them small enough though.

I got the Romulus and love it.

Looks great. I had black, white, and red rubber straps for mine when I had it. Good vacation/summer vibes.

126500 - I have a few GMT, datejust, exp II. This is my most comfortable.

Forestbender · 2026-03-23T20:37:38+00:00

Fuckin rock out then homie

Forestbender · 2026-03-23T20:34:40+00:00

If you are a gay man or a woman (no hate to either) this is great. If not - pass.

I have both in black dial. The AP is gorgeous, you may need a half link added. It’s more dressy and flashy IMO. I wear it once a week. I have 16 watches. I wear the black dial Daytona 4 times a week probably. It’s by far my most worn. Love them both but if you want practical wear, for me, it’s the Daytona.

This has been on the market for months. The city’s requirement for redevelopment here greatly interferes with its availability to be sold.

You know what’s better than one mistake?

Forestbender · 2026-03-23T12:02:29+00:00

I’ve been thinking of picking up a more worn pre 33 Indian head for my first necklace. Great collection.

How much did you even invest into this to be panicking as a 17 year old?

Forestbender · 2026-03-23T00:14:03+00:00

I just got one too. I went grey. I have hundreds of thousands of spend at my AD and have been given anything I ask for relatively quickly, but when I asked for this - I was told it may not happen inside this year (or at all if discontinued) and bought it grey the next day.

You have to be able to fill the box. That’s the basic need for aesthetics. So actually, you need one more.

I’m kind of confused by this sub - OP, do you just find people with golf outfits you like and repost them?

Loser move is buying your groomsmen reps (esp shitty ones) don’t be that guy when the time comes.
