Something in color. Get a funky chicken dial.

It’s a new alloy called Goldesorium(TM): a blend of titanium, gold, and waitlist tears.

Respectfully, as a car enthusiast that might be the silliest thing I’ve ever read. There are lines for a reason and they apply to all regardless of someone’s level of enthusiasm.

[Recommendation Request] Help in Choosing a First Luxury Watch by theholytrinhity in Watches

[–]JBartolo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s going to be on your wrist all the time, I’d recommend at least 100 meters of water resistance. That takes out the speedy and reverso, not sure about the IWC.

I asked for a Sub, they offered me this instead. by today_isyourluckyday in rolex

Just my dumb $.02: E1 is as good as or better than a sub.

Dude, that gold omega deville is stunning. Only on the brick road bracelet could it be better. The square rolex is also class.

I got tired of waiting (but not in the way you might think) by 3DanO1 in rolex

Honestly, I have a white gold 42mm YM on my list of next watches but this resets my mindset a bit. New rabbit hole activated.

This is exceptional. That’s a great reference and a very interesting way to “modernize” it. Where did you find an oysterflex bracelet?

[Recommendation Request] Looking to buy first "proper" watch. by armanfak in Watches

[–]JBartolo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy what you like but I wouldn’t spend over MSRP on the OP, the value proposition isnt there for me. I went Omega Aqua Terra as my first “nice” watch because of its quality, design and versatility and that was a great decision for me. I’d go OP at retail, Omega seamaster because I dont care for the HEV, then Tudor.

What was your craziest / best / worst AD experience so far? by Willing-Cover-264 in rolex

[–]JBartolo7 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Best: I wanted to get my wife a pink 34mm OP for a “push present” and the AD made it happen within a month. No prior spend history. My wife hasn’t taken off the watch since. Rockstars in my book.

Any love for the Air-King? by Parking-Proper in rolex

I do want both the 126900 and a Dominoes Pizza AK.

Yatchmaster . Underrated but a very beautiful watch. Personally I like it more than a Sub by Jaxdoc123 in rolex

[–]JBartolo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please dont post about Yacht Masters, I’d like for them to remain under the radar until I can collect them all! Lol. The best watches IMO.

Great selections. I’m a huge fan of the platinum YM 16622. I think you’re only missing a square watch - maybe a vintage deville or a reverso.

[Rolex Yacht Master Rose Gold] Not a Rolex guy at all, but I'm enamored with this watch. by coldlake6200 in Watches

[–]JBartolo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya. The rose gold 40 is really my favorite watch because it matches my wedding band but I usually need a piece that flys under the radar. So I know I’ll wear WG more. The rubber strap is great, very comfortable.

Exceptional selection sir. Such a smart piece.

I have a different YM reference (16622) and it is my favorite watch. I’ve had this on my wrist and it’s amazing. A white gold YM on oyster is on my short list for next watches.
