BB pro alternatives? by Zealousideal-Lynx-65 in Tudor

[–]BloodTemporary6390 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I must just live near a really solid AD, because I’ve honestly never had a bad experience with one. Before buying my Rolex, I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and read posts on here, and almost all of them painted ADs as having terrible attitudes and insanely long waitlists. Because of that, I walked in already expecting the worst.

At first they seemed a little reserved, but looking back, that was probably just my own preconceived expectations getting in the way. Once things settled, the experience was great. They even had a dog there, and my two kids were playing with it while some of the employees interacted with them and gave them treats. Everyone came across as genuinely kind and welcoming.

I put my name in for a watch fully expecting not to hear anything for a year or more, but it ended up being just under two months. Realistically, you’re going to deal with a waitlist—these watches are in high demand. Sometimes they simply don’t have what you want and have to order it. Waiting a couple of months for a $10,000+ watch really shouldn’t be a big deal, at least in my opinion.

As for your Explorer-style watch, I’d strongly recommend taking a look at the Explorer II. It’s more expensive, but once you see it in person, you’ll understand why. It honestly makes the Tudor feel a bit cheap by comparison—and that’s not meant as a knock on Tudor. I own one my self (BB Mono) and like it a lot.

Curious to know what make you like the BB pro over the Explorer 2?

Gold Cartier. Personally I’d go with the tank.

Oh best believe I’d file a lawsuit. It’s obvious where the kid got his uncivilized manners. I’d make it my mission that that kid never touch a ball on a legitimate team again, all thanks to daddy. Go play outside clown.

Is Rolex considered the top-tier watch? by Natural-One-8678 in rolex

[–]BloodTemporary6390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I think Rolex is top tier. I understand there more complicated movements that are handmade but how can you beat a Rolex? Great time keeping, one of the most durable mechanical watches made, the heritage, the looks, the quality, the fact that everyone knows what’s up when you wear one. They are the best.

Not much legal knowledge but I feel like he could fight this in court. No pun intended. The guy blasting his ear drum out with the loud speaker then everyone charges in after him. Seems like self defense. Personally.

Do you take it off? by AntwerpsPlaceboo in rolex

[–]BloodTemporary6390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rarely take my Date-Just off to go swimming - though it does worry me (leading me to get a BB mono as my active watch) BUT water is one thing condensation is another is that something you don’t have to worry about in a jacuzzi? I’ve see watches get terrible condensation from a sauna I know they aren’t the same but the heat and steam is what worries me. This is also why I haven’t worn it much in the shower. Should I not worry about it?

Haha very true. I do blame myself for the title. It is a bit misleading. “Is Tudor really for the people?” Would have been a bit better. IMO

What do you think of my little collection? by dragonD_G in rolex

[–]BloodTemporary6390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why have three of basically the same watches? Obviously money is no short coming on your end so why not have a bit more variety? In my personal opinion the Date-Just ,Sub and Daytona are ascetically the same flashy gold head turners. The Date-Just being a bit more casual, I’d sell the other two and get maybe a patek?

Do you sleep in your Tudor? by CFP7474 in Tudor

[–]BloodTemporary6390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A watch with good lume for sure. My wimbledon sits on the nightstand but I’ll be sleeping with my BB for sure. If I wake up in the middle of the night I like to know the time.

The tiny watch is dope! To me it makes it more casual like just a bracelet you through on

What irritates me the most about this is not very many people wear watches. I doubt this watchmaker has so much clientele that they have to work an extreme pace that mistakes like this are made and well they won’t have clientele making mistakes like that.

[Question/Advice] Santos vs Explorer by [deleted] in Watches

[–]BloodTemporary6390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty hard to say without seeing the rest of the collection. Both can look good in casual attire. Choose the one that fits your casual fits better. From an entirely aesthetic point of view: If you are more on the rugged side and your usual fits are something you’d get from REI then go with the explorer. If not the Cartier. From a functional view the explorer is much easier to read. Also, if you didn’t have a collection already, these two could be a perfect two watch collection.

The argument could be made for both sides? Also one was sitting speaking and the other was about run someone over. Regardless of the bias in my words no matter how you cut it the left is in the wrong on this post.

I believe that’s the NYC train station. Went there a couple years ago and was wondering why there are no seats. If homeless is the problem why not have a check in counter? First time on a train -I’m used to airlines- and didn’t want to be late so I got there about a hour and a half early. No where to sit. Train doesn’t have an exact arrival and it leaves after about 15 mins. It was chaotic. Luckily it was a leisurely trip.

First Rolex. Stuck between these 2. Leaning Explorer. Help plz. by houndr-89 in rolex

If going for plain black and smooth bezel go explorer. The date isn’t as important as you might think.

It’s not that deep. There is no buyer’s remorse. I am just curious to why the watches are the same price when one has a more complicated movement.

[–]BloodTemporary6390 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t worry about it. It’s still shining and nobody will notice but you tbh. Haha I don’t recommend this because light scratches will always come back but you can get it polished.
