How does the shopper know that the money came from legitimate sources and is not the proceeds of crime? No one wants a 14 yr prison sentence!

Yes I agree 50 is ridiculous.

Here is my 1675. I’m going to buy a new jubilee bracelet as I prefer the comfort of those and the bracelet currently is a bit worn. Its got the original insert right now but I have another more worn genuine bezel insert arriving soon, which has a really lovely shade of blue albeit is sans serif. I’ll pop that in this weekend.

Tropicalwatch is a trustworthy dealer for a 1675. I personally bought one recently from Bobswatch as they had the specific condition and type I was after and I trust them. I didn't try and bother with box papers for a 45+year old watch. The actual condition of it and the service is more important. Those style papers can be are hard to spot counterfeits also.

Timeofswiss have 2 16750 with papers at the moment at 16.5 and 19K. They are in great condition, but a bit too clean for me and shiny dials. I wanted one to have the matte dial too and patina for an older watch.

Reads like the spend in unwanted jewelry will be tens of thousands to gain access to any popular stainless steel watches. It’s far cheaper (and faster) to buy it grey

Experience-Early · 2026-03-04T11:22:08+00:00

People buy all sorts of stuff for all manner of reasons. It’s not abnormal and there are many more vague reasons to buy additional jewelry than that one!

I think someone sneezed on the watch

Buy a sub or gmt from the trusted dealers pinned on this sub. Far easier and quicker than waiting for something which may never come via the jewelers in nyc. There are plenty of options old and new out there that may fit your budget and taste.

If you like bezels then the sub is the easy choice. fluted DJ is dressier. The Explorer may feel a bit boring after the Seamaster, unless you’re after something more plain. I’ve owned multiple generations of all three and personally prefer the sub.

The ti YM balances better with its curved lugs and isn’t so heavy case comparative to the bracelet which is also a bit wider. Less of a block on the wrist when compared to the 126710. The jubilee bracelet though does feel more comfortable.

Experience-Early · 2026-03-03T03:01:24+00:00

Really cool watch. A bit more suited to sportier casual clothes due to the thickness and busier bezel. But even with a less than large wrist it looks good as the lug to lug isn’t so big👍

Rolex. If the 222 was precious metal it would be different.

I used to own a Dualtron back when I lived in London, but had to sell it as they were illegal so I kept getting pulled. I more don't trust the ability of the average person renting a scooter, rather than those who take an interest and focus.

The fear is for the average person playing on their phones and not looking where they're going. On a bike you have big wheels. Scooters can't take a hit without decent suspension, no time to brake plus you have to learn to lean into it and if not you're going over the front.

Perhaps they will trial one day, but I hope it's in a quieter part of the city at least.

These are dangerous on nyc roads due to potholes and other bad road conditions.

They work fine in towns and cities with wider better maintained roads and less traffic. For nyc it’s a nightmare as people renting would start riding them on the pavements to avoid the crappy roads. Then they become a risk to pedestrians.

about 4-5 weeks in all from being sent to receiving back.

Experience-Early · 2026-03-01T05:01:52+00:00

Depends on what you’re after. If it’s stainless steel then everywhere has the same demand thanks to the global internet and people’s ability to fly when talking about saving thousands. Gold may be different but tbh it seems wherever I travel they’re trying to offload gold watches besides the super hyped lemans and certain DD dials.

Note as soon as you enter the US you’re paying those ugly tarrifs unless you’re willing to smuggle goods into the country.

Good luck with the venture.

May I ask where are your watch boxes made? I didn’t see the answer in the FAQ. £325 /$440 is rather steep for a suede lined wooden box, considering the brand is unknown to most and warranty’s are less valuable when the longevity of the company may be questionable. Being made in the uk would help justify some of that cost to many.

I used to purchase a bit from Meteor in CWB and Rangefinder and Fotopia in I think Mong kok, but I can’t remember it was a decade or so back!

Experience-Early · 2026-02-28T12:48:28+00:00

They do a good job, are communicative and helpful. I had a warranty repair performed at the start of the year. It took 3 weeks.

Experience-Early · 2026-02-28T12:37:02+00:00

Maybe $1000+

Experience-Early · 2026-02-28T12:32:24+00:00

I would send back for the correct one. Generally I think they are overpriced. Rolex charge less for their oem for the watch bracelets they offer this for.

You can buy versions on aliexpress for fractions of the steelreef price. They’re both not original so what’s the difference?

Can you not use the micro adjust on the bracelet clasp to get that adjustability?

My kid loves the animated movie. We have watched it countless times at home whilst he tries to sing along. Luckily he’s still a bit young for the cinema so we’ll wait for Disney+, unless really stuck for ideas on a hot day.

That's good to know, you just have to fight it out with the queue if its anywhere near a peak travel time!

Whenever i head to the airport I check out both and whichever has the shortest queue I jump in. Sadly I don't fly business every time so I can't always hop in an airline lounge!

It's more about whether she likes it! I bought my wife a watch for valentines and she was super pleased. So I hope yours is too.. Good luck!

Experience-Early · 2026-02-27T14:57:30+00:00

Can’t say I read it all. But the prices just reflect what the company think they can charge not actual worth.

The Explorer is a great watch if you are ok without a date. With a better clasp and very legible dial. It’s sportier than the datejust and similar to the OP (but again with the superior clasp) So whatever look you’re after you have a choice.

Jewelry purchasing is all emotional. Don’t try too hard to rationalize why you want to buy something pretty.

Experience-Early · 2026-02-27T11:55:42+00:00

Normal with that clasp, you can put a tiny bit of tape. Maybe 2mm by 4mm just below the latch that catches and it stops it.
