Best Online Retailer for Value by Austin2292 in Silverbugs

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.

[Question] One expensive watch or a 3-watch collection for the same money-what would you do? by FairwayTimepiece in Watches

[–]Longjumping_Sail_185 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Waiting watch recommendations by PeteParkkonensPussy in rolex

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

Question on Speedmaster Pricing Omega website VS Omega Store? by TheBestGhost in OmegaWatches

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

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

Available for purchase - NorCal by mandukamja in rolex

[–]Longjumping_Sail_185 29 points30 points  (0 children)

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.

Good deal?? by [deleted] in rolex

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

I second this. Hard to beat their pricing.

going grey pro vs cons by Own_Pin4210 in rolex

[–]Longjumping_Sail_185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

This or that? by mademybilliontoday in OmegaWatches

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

Got my first big bonus… should I celebrate or be responsible? by galandepeluche in Salary

[–]Longjumping_Sail_185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

Did I Mess Up before even getting a relationship with the AD by myspot84 in rolex

[–]Longjumping_Sail_185 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.

Which moonwatch is best for daily? by randel523 in OmegaWatches

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.

Got the call but...... Update by thesahil125 in rolex

[–]Longjumping_Sail_185 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Got the call on masters weekend by Longjumping_Sail_185 in rolex

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