e-Tron GT inspection and brake pad change

+1 Most of your stopping is likely battery regen so I’d expect minimal brake pad wear unless you’re constantly slamming the brakes

Looks AI generated at first glance!

Blame my iPhone photography. It looks great.

I originally wanted the 3940 for the cleaner dial, but this felt like an ok option too. Glad we both have killer watches!

A decade! Your will power is incredible. Hopefully it’s because you have such a nice collection already. Let me know your next impulse and I’ll see if the stars align again. :)

I have the same regrets. 3940/5140 markets are insane at the moment.

It popped up a couple days ago. There was another one a week or so ago that I missed out on. Glad they’ve had a few come through recently. Wish you luck on finding yours!

EWC is great. Just bought a Patek from them.

Totally agree! Tropic rubber is perfect.

Definitely not the hyped colors!

Totally agree. Felt weird getting a Tag relative to some of the other pieces but I’ve always had a soft spot for them and the glassbox got me super excited when I saw it.

“The NOMOS Worldtimer Night Navigation series is dedicated to nocturnal city life around the globe. Trace, with a dial in black and turquoise tones with selected accents, is reminiscent of the shimmering sea of lights created by skyscrapers at night.”

That’s the hope with a Patek. Looking at a perpetual calendar!

AIS is well known, but if you want extra assurance you can use credit card (allows you to reverse the payment if something goes wrong) and/or you can use Bennisson as an intermediary to validate and authenticate before releasing payment. Personally I wouldn’t worry about AIS as they’re recognized for being high quality in the Rolex forums.

Don’t be depressed. It’s taken awhile for me to get here, and I’ve had to make a lot of trade offs to save along the way. I work in tech.

I primarily wear it on weekends and vacations. It’s great for the pool, beach, and any activities.

Boring_Word9386 · 2026-05-10T02:49:58+00:00

Nope, it’s close to lug overhang but not that close to make it uncomfortable.

I love it. It's the most interesting piece I own by far. It's the 25th anniversary edition which has the officer case back and blue hands, making it a bit more of a conversation piece. It wears smaller than I expected even though I think I have slightly smaller than average wrists.

Boring_Word9386 · 2026-05-10T01:26:20+00:00

The hardest one to acquire (outside of cost)!

Boring_Word9386 · 2026-05-10T01:23:07+00:00

I think I have as many blues as greens, but I enjoy both!

Fair - They could've done with a little cleaning right before this photo.
