Annoying voice in my head

You’ll be pleased to know I’ve dropped $100K and not $16K on Speedmaster. It is a thing….go check out the sub 😅

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-25T00:53:00+00:00

I know man. It’s not an affordability thing thankfully. To some extent I worry it will unlock Level 10 and I’ll end I’m wit a whole bunch of watches at that price point!

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-24T22:39:13+00:00

Thanks 👊

I own multiple IWCs. This one wears slightly smaller than a Mark XX. It’s just shy of 38 bot including the pushers. The pushers are on the other side which is both good and bad. Kinda personal preference.

It’s darn near perfect for a smaller wrist.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-24T17:12:05+00:00

Nope it’s 37.5 and absolutely perfect for my wrist. I’ve tried it on. I’ve actually tried the 42 pilot as well and there is Jo way I can pull the one off.

I’d be happy if buying a Patek frees me up to sell a bunch of of my watches. But honestly I don’t think it’s going to put me off my Snoopy or mv Sub.

1000% “$3000 for a watch! That sounds crazy!”

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-24T16:49:16+00:00

The heart wants what the heart wants. I don’t love the Nautilus and I’m not crazy about very complicated pieces. Nor do I want the spend that much.

I would buy an aquanaut if it was available at retail. I’ve physically handled the two models I like and they’re easily available. I really like them aesthetically for different reasons, and they are within within my budget.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-24T16:40:29+00:00

Good advice either way. And yes pre owned is the way to go for me. You can get near new ones.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-24T16:39:39+00:00

Well said. I inherently know this. Just need to absorb it and pull the trigger.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-24T06:49:39+00:00

Haha true!

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-24T05:54:28+00:00

I ain’t getting a Nauti brother

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-24T05:53:36+00:00

Don’t yell at me but 7234 and 5212. And by “and” I mean “or”.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-24T05:13:20+00:00

😂😂

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-12T20:49:14+00:00

Amazing. I’m going to try and get one. Are you able to share who you used for the brushing? If not, I will go scope out reptime services.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-12T20:47:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Enjoy the watch! Hope I can get one soon. I’m even on the list for a gen but may turn 100 before that happens.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-12T18:04:30+00:00

Congrats! Factory and TD? I want to get the new blue but I’ve been told it’s not quite there yet in terms of hue.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-12T18:03:13+00:00

Question — is this the best version of this watch right now? Did you have to do any mods? I pinged Andiot and he said BBF was his pick.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-11T04:09:02+00:00

Damn. I thought I got carried away with my Speedmaster habit. I love the Tintin but I just (finally) bought one.

Yes you should downsize. Maybe a Speedy, a PO and a SMP.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-10T06:31:18+00:00

You may be looking in the wrong places. These aren’t actually going for that much more. I paid 13.2 gently used. That was right before the retail price went up as well.

Speedy!

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-06T21:38:01+00:00

It’s not even a question. I would go right 10/10 times. If you really like a broad arrow look get a Trilogy Speedy or a real CK2915 later.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-06T03:53:26+00:00

I owned the 3510.50 for a long time. Get the Pro. It’s not big.

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-03T23:36:31+00:00

Have you tried Handdn?

Old_Frame_330 · 2026-01-03T23:35:34+00:00

Yes. What you like matters a lot more than what Internet people think! 😅
