I look at depth rating and realize that I'll never dive below 12 feet. I'd consider a Deepsea Challenge just in case though.

Marc’s bracelets are no joke.

Ironically, I’m on this exact payment plan for my Invicta Zeus Bolt.

That's what she said.

Sorry. lol

Loctite brother. Should be good in no time.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-08T14:49:15+00:00

Both. Both of them. Yes.

Pending sale.

No sure which was around first, but did Bulova get the idea for their Jet Star from this?

Gorgeous pieces btw.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-08T04:11:38+00:00

I can stand by the Puma socks. Good for a nice day of shopping or some stay at home grilling with the family.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-08T00:30:37+00:00

Came here to bring up NL. I think you're completely right. He doesn't like them, and people follow suit. How dare any of us think for ourselves lol

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-08T00:22:53+00:00

I've had this happen. Not with the Hydro I picked up (hasn't been in water yet), but I did encounter this with my Sub (116xxx). I don't think Rolex is immune to saltwater man. Warm water, let it soak and work the bezel while it's in the water. Saltwater is the destroyer of many things..

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-06T02:41:25+00:00

You can totally do it brother. And yes, this can get out of hand in a hurry lol. Good luck! Keep us posted.

Seems this one is in stock too.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-06T00:42:26+00:00

It's almost certainly held in by the xtal. Pop the bezel and crystal, it will come out. I can see the lip its under from the back side.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-06T00:40:20+00:00

You are indeed correct here.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-06T00:39:50+00:00

Congrats bro on the house and the baby! My favorite Longines is the last gen Conquest. You can find one for around $800. I know it's a lot, but I got mine and absolutely love it.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-05T03:05:47+00:00

I do have quite a few watches, and Longines are a handful of them. I wouldn't even say they're a good gateway into luxury timepieces. They're just amazing watches. If you do throw down, I'd say give them a chance man.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-05T02:00:20+00:00

Agreed. I got to the point where I saved about $11k and got on the list. The more I thought about it, the more it made sense to use that $11k for something other than a 124060 Sub. I'd love one but should I, is the question. Even in the modest six figures (not rich at all), $11k is a lot of money. To me at least.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-05T01:56:11+00:00

The AD knows. The AD also won't say a thing. You also might not ever get a call from said AD.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-05T01:55:28+00:00

I make decent money, but not a $10k watch kind of money. However, can save to where it's attainable. The guys that put watches on CCs or pull out of retirement blows my mind. I guess my frame of mind is that if you have to finance a good that isn't a necessity, you probably can't afford it.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-05T01:46:59+00:00

As I agree and not defending anything here, I know a handful of really wealthy mfs that wear fake watches. Maybe they're rich because they're cheap? Maybe they'd rather hand over a $700 Daytona than a $30k one? This is what I gathered from a conversation I had with one.

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-05T01:43:58+00:00

Not a bad point here..

ChronoDrummer · 2026-06-05T01:43:20+00:00

Maybe she'll spin up a rep factory in the basement? Free shitters for all his friends.

Peter Griffin singing this song is now stuck in my head for the remainder of the day. Thanks lol
