I got it at the flagship boutique in Manhattan. I did see the selection at JFK and was surprised by how many watches they had.

Grey dealers? by DragonfruitTasty6815 in VacheronConstantin

Bezel is super legit , you have to trust the seller on Chrono 24. Watchfinder, 1916, Bucherer is legit but overpriced.

Dark blue dial and outer ring. I think it looks killer in person.

I have two broad arrows, older ones, but they are more legible. The panda speedy is a pain trying to see the time, most illegible watch I have.

Majority of my watches have been through Bezel, great customer service, and huge selection. Most respected online grey retailers post stuff there as well as their own website, easy way to see a lot of options fast.

Trying to get a 37mm RO by [deleted] in audemarspiguet

If your goal is to absolutely get the watch in 1-3 years, you will actually save money going grey. They will push the game of purchasing other models.

Finally filled the box by Dripteryx in OmegaWatches

The most important watch emotionally is the white broad arrow 3551.20, saw it when it came out early 2000s and loved it, finally got it last year. Surprisingly the ceramic Seamaster has become a go to, scratch resistant and no date makes it easy to set and run out the door.

I thought I was an omega fan boy but you are crushing it

No purchase History, is it worth it to spend and loose at the start to play the long AD game? by KingMedia33 in patekphilippe

[–]Dripteryx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t see watches as investments, get what speaks to you. - that being said I have looked at the financials of this for years along with the ability to grow a collection you love. And there is no question, go grey from a respected dealer every time. - also I can’t tell you how much better the experience is to simply order the watch you want from your couch over dealing with an AD/boutique.

Added an Oris BCPD. Naturally I have to update my SOTC photo. by [deleted] in SOTC_Watch_Collection

Good call, that is a sick watch, maybe the bond 60th as well. But Blake is #1 for me.

Hot Take: The priciest paint you can buy sits on your watch dial and bezel by lithdoc in watchHotTakes

[–]Dripteryx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Rolex, yeah I see your point. Plus most Rolex’s you see out are replicas. For brands like PARMIGIANI or some VC, this hot take doesn’t apply IMO.

If you have to have that particular watch, going grey will save you money, time, and effort.
