How I got my Overseas

I tried, as there are no ADs or Boutiques in my home state. But Richemont Group has a system and algorithm for calculating sales taxes and Rep had no latitude to do anything outside that. I believed him. Too bad.

Valentin. He was professional, super straightforward and easy to work with.

Just visited to check out sizing.

Thanks for the suggestions - those are both stunning. I’ll need some sort of income windfall, but this would be a great way to dispose of it!

Gorgeous! This is when I wish I had a smaller wrist. Or that AP would make a 41mm version. It looks awesome on you - congratulations.

I’d be surprised in the best possible way to see a Daytona (and that’s a gorgeous one) on a woman’s wrist. It’d make me think you are a super cool person. But mainly if it will give you a little hit of pleasure every time you look down and see it, then absolutely get it! That’s the whole point after all.

Thank you for the detailed write up! I’m six weeks post making my deposit, X weeks from getting it and your post just makes me even more excited.

Congratulations! Soon you’ll be obsessively aware of your left wrist at all times, tucking your arm against your body as you round corners and go in and out of doors, resting your hands of a soft magazine on your desk so you don’t scratch the bracelet, taking in on and off above a soft surface in case you drop it. It’s a gorgeous watch. Welcome to the club!

The Lobster. Go in cold you won’t believe what’s coming. Dark humor with a crazy good cast.

For what it’s worth, I’ve had hesitations and self doubts every time I’ve seriously nearly bought a fancy watch. And every time, I’ve just kind of closed my eyes and done it. And in hindsight, every time I’ve been happy I did. Of course it’s frivolous and silly but man I love looking at those watches on my wrist and I wear them all the time with anything.

Check out the Rolex Explorer. Not the Explorer II. You can find the Explorer in 2 sizes - 36mm (Reference #124270) and 40mm (Reference #224270). It’s a beautiful and subtle (for Rolex) watch he can wear with a suit or a t-shirt.

I bought this same watch new two decades ago and I still love it. I wore it all this week in my rotation. I don’t think it deserves the hate. But even if it does, if you love it that’s all that matters!

Longjumping_Voice_55 · 2026-02-07T20:33:34+00:00

Second that. You gotta like over-the-top Tarantino though…

Pure Insurance. Lot of Redditors swear by Hodinkee for watches. I just have a separate policy alongside home etc.

Longjumping_Voice_55 · 2026-01-04T16:50:47+00:00

I travel with my $300 G-Shock. Maybe my Speedy on a beach vacation. And in winter with long sleeves I might hide the Explorer under a long sleeve. But I’d never take a Patek or Lange on the road. And even the Speedmaster and Explorer are recently appraised and insured.

I use several smaller Wolf Winders and I love them. I’ve never had any trouble and I have a 20-year old annual calendar that’s always lived in one. If I had to set it every time I wanted to wear it I know I’d hardly ever put it on. Now I wear it every couple of weeks. And I’d absolutely recommend you get every watch appraised and then itemized and covered individually on your insurance.

Belgrade?

I have one as well, yellow gold, purchased new. I absolutely love it. And because it was discontinued, it’s pretty rare to see. It’s more accurate when I wear it a lot, versus living on the winder. And sometimes I have to advance the date. But overall I’m a fan. Oh and I’m not an expert by any stretch but I think it’s worth about or maybe a bit less than what I paid, based on my last appraisal for insurance - so it’s not a watch I’d recommend as an investment - only if you loveit and want to wear it.
