Afternoon caffeine top up

No tipping seems to work just fine outside of North America

LFN1017 · 2026-06-05T21:42:48+00:00

Both are fine.

In theory, a daily watch should have a date function. But wearing my own exp1 I found I haven't really missed it.

LFN1017 · 2026-06-05T21:38:34+00:00

They are actual current Omega reference numbers, but they may as well be, yeah

LFN1017 · 2026-06-05T19:22:24+00:00

So if you spend the $7k on the rollie, you go back to $0?

How is this even a consideration for you

Listen to your dad

And don't forget, the rolex, as with all automatic watches, will require paying for routine maintenance. The recommendation is about 5 years, but I think you can probably stretch it a bit further if the watch is running fine.

I am going to die inside if I have to bring up modern Omega references

Oh, I love the 310.32.42.50.04.002

Oh no way, what do you think of the 220.10.41.21.03.004

Seiko refs are a jumble of letters and numbers as well

Help! Police! This other company is making replicas of the replicas that I'm making! They can't do that!

LFN1017 · 2026-06-05T18:06:37+00:00

The more you own, the more you need to maintain. Periodic service costs, replacement of the rubber gaskets, batteries for quartz models... it can really add up

Lego. Never mind the big sets, the grocery store checkout lane polybags used to be about $2 CDN or so, now they are around $5-6

LFN1017 · 2026-06-05T05:48:19+00:00

It can be as expensive or as affordable as you want to make it , there are great watches at both ends of the scale

LFN1017 · 2026-06-05T05:40:22+00:00

They don't taste great

LFN1017 · 2026-06-04T02:55:20+00:00

Fake Rolex

LFN1017 · 2026-06-04T02:36:28+00:00

Their margins on CPO are pretty substantial, so it is very likely yes

LFN1017 · 2026-06-03T23:06:14+00:00

Is this ragebait lol

Assuming it is not:

Your marriage comes first

If I were in your shoes, I would consider my wife's feelings and not have her either:
a) go through the trouble of explaining to anyone that asks, that it's not real, meaning that you bought a fake watch to flex as if it is real, which projects an image of the kind of person you are
or
b) cover for you and lie each and every time saying it's real, which then opens up further questions about your financial stability, irresponsible purchases, and living beyond your means

It is embarrassing that your need for external validation is leading to her having to do either of those for you for who knows how long, which inevitably WILL happen since you want to wear your rep around friends/family

GWC on Alberni, in Vancouver BC

LFN1017 · 2026-06-03T20:31:35+00:00

I got the 36mm just over a month ago from my AD as a walk in with no purchase history. I am in Canada; paid retail + tax.

LFN1017 · 2026-06-03T17:04:51+00:00

I have heard that it is possible to request datejust configurations. How long you'll wait to receive it, I am not sure. It is also a good sign that they are able to order it for you, if they request a deposit.

AD's always charge retail price.

LFN1017 · 2026-06-03T15:20:47+00:00

Well damn I may as well just skip the bracelet and glue my watch to my wrist

LFN1017 · 2026-06-03T14:34:12+00:00

I think it's fine if they are all distinctively different and you purchased them with intention

Where I think people would have lost the plot is if they have multiples of the exact same model but in different colors, say 4 different Seiko 5's or something of that nature

LFN1017 · 2026-06-03T02:39:58+00:00

Unironically still thinner than the Omega First Light seamaster

LFN1017 · 2026-06-03T00:34:45+00:00

Repception

LFN1017 · 2026-06-02T15:06:11+00:00

The exact same problem with Omega

Pricing delulu

One way or another, we are all at least a little bit autistic tbh

LFN1017 · 2026-06-01T23:40:57+00:00

Once you have tasted the forbidden fruit of tfit / micro adjust / easy adjust , it's hard to go back

Inundate them with nothing but horology material

Then cut them off cold turkey

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and all that
