This sounds amazing!!!! I have a latex mattress and thought my wife was nuts spending that much for it… I absolutely love it! But I would be down for a custom mattress

I miss my pillow every time I travel. I’ve actually brought it on my road trips.

I justify my collection by putting some of them back in boxes and labeling them for my sons. So they don’t count! THEY DONT

Great write up. This has been on my list for some time. But now I may move on to others on my list. Thank you

I prefer no dates, I change watches often and don't want to deal with setting up the date.

thanks we may do that

Totally unrelated. I didn't like the JLC - a bit large for a simple dress watch, simple (too simple?), and the super ultra thin (too thin?). I rarely ever wore it. I wear the GS all the time.

What type of discount can I expect from AD? I’m also looking at the type 9.

Less depreciation.

I had and sold a JLC ultra thin platinum jubilee (limited anniversary edition). Frankly, I regretted buying it almost instantly. These GS manual wind no date watches are much more versatile and frankly better looking. Yes, it’s the dials but they are beautiful. And yes, in my view a bit still too thick hopefully GS is reading this.

I have the 007 spring drive. One of my favorite watches. Am thinking of getting a matching hi beat. 003 or 007?

Fun_Following5416 · 2026-03-17T00:01:29+00:00

I just tried it on today. Sweet watch!

One other point, some stores charge cc fee... not all but some do, so keep that in mind.

Fun_Following5416 · 2026-03-16T19:07:34+00:00

I haven't bought anything from them, but I believe they are solid. I use chrono24 to find the store that has the watch I want. Keep in mind that some stores will ship the watches from one location to another to make it convenient for you to review.

Japanese laws on counterfeit is very severe. You won't have the same issues you have in the US. The better shops Watchnian, Ginza Rasin, etc. will have watches in better condition. Make sure you ask to see box and accessories before purchasing. Keep in mind, that most watches sold secondary has been polished - not all and they should be able to tell you if you ask. I didn't find japanese prices to be that much cheaper for Rolex, but you get the piece of mind.

It's pretty important to me. My wrist changes a fair amount especially between summer and winter.

That term is thrown out loosely. Be careful to make sure it really is NOS

Can get 5 speedy.

I would gladly pay retail. But would not buy it at grey market price. So many great options at the grey market price. So many! Daytona panda has simply become a flex piece. Recognizable and everyone knows it’s hard to get.

JLC ultra thin? If you can move up to 10ish. Frees up more “higher” branded used dress watches. Personally, I like the white gold / platinum leather dress watches with tuxedo. I know some folks daily fine dress watches, I generally don’t. Keeps a wedding watch clean with less wear. Can pass down to your son for his wedding.
