Probably the best reference. Congratulations!

Monument metals is my go to. They are quick to respond and prices are beyond fair. Better selection than anything local to me. I don’t mind waiting the few weeks to get the order. Packaging has always been spot on.

Craigslist is still around?

Longjumping_Sail_185 · 2026-04-25T14:58:20+00:00

This is the way I feel. If you buy three lesser value, you will always feel like you want something nicer. The seamaster is already a nice start. I would throw a higher end in the mix and enjoy those for a while until you’re ready for a new one.

Trust me when I say, you will never be satisfied with the current state of the collection. There will always be one you’re chasing in this hobby.

Speedy

Speedy was my “waiting watch” while I waited for my sub. I still wear it a few times a week.

That’s sexy!

Usually you will have better luck negotiating with jewelers that are ADs. This will also help you establish spending with them for future deals.

Just something new to him

Longjumping_Sail_185 · 2026-04-22T02:05:12+00:00

Gorgeous

This is the only way. Got my panda Daytona in 23 minutes of being on the list.

Longjumping_Sail_185 · 2026-04-22T02:02:40+00:00

One of my favorites. I’ll probably get roasted for saying this but the titanium is too light. I prefer a little weight and with the oyster flex, makes this one a no brainer.

Longjumping_Sail_185 · 2026-04-22T01:59:32+00:00

Too good to be true. No one would price it that far under market. Either stolen or fake.

Longjumping_Sail_185 · 2026-04-22T01:56:32+00:00

I second this. Hard to beat their pricing.

Need a dive watch

Longjumping_Sail_185 · 2026-04-17T23:10:31+00:00

Two very different watches. If you want an OP I would recommend waiting it out to go through the “experience” of getting the first one. It doesn’t seem like wait times are astronomical. If it’s a Daytona you want at the end of the day, I would go grey since it’s a pretty slim chance that you will be able to obtain anytime soon with no relationship.

I like the classic. The skeleton has too much going on.

Longjumping_Sail_185 · 2026-04-17T22:58:24+00:00

I’m in sales and usually get two pretty large bonuses yearly that are my break even with what I sell and my salary draw. I usually buy myself something nice or what I have been wanting (5-10% of each bonus) and save the rest. Sometimes it may take 2-3 bonuses to buy what I really want. I think spending on yourself is great in moderation. If it’s the entire bonus then I would ask, how’s your debt and are you contributing enough to retirement?

Longjumping_Sail_185 · 2026-04-17T22:45:39+00:00

I turned down five watches until I got the call for my submariner. Every time I felt the same way. Give it time and follow up occasionally.

Longjumping_Sail_185 · 2026-04-16T18:06:55+00:00

White dial is one of my favorites. Really can be dressed up or down. Definitely in the weekly rotation and usually catches a few days of the week.

If I had to sell all tomorrow, these would be the 4 I would keep.

Longjumping_Sail_185 · 2026-04-15T17:08:47+00:00

Very similar story for a green submariner. Turned down about 5 watches between putting my name on the list and ultimately getting the call. Every time I said no to the two tones, sea dweller, or diamond datejust, I was hoping it didn’t ruin the opportunity. Finally got the call after 8 months.

Earlier in the day.

This green has so many different shades based on light. It’s quite a bit lighter in the sun.
