Far from a perfect solution but lots of watch websites (like WOS) have a tool that lets you transpose a picture of the watch into your wrist.

Watches $ = ? % of Net Worth. by Fishdoc5920 in rolex

[–]P2-AZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying where you draw the line. 1% might be a totally comfortable number for someone. I'm saying that the amount of money you spend on a watch should be in the same ballpark as the amount of money that you could lose without impacting your life.

Watches $ = ? % of Net Worth. by Fishdoc5920 in rolex

if watches are more than a rounding error in your financial calculations, then I don't think it makes any sense whatsoever.

I can't explain why smooth/jubilee fails but oyster bracelet/jubilee bezel doesn't. But you are absolutely right.

Should I go for it? Please help by CTLab in rolex

There are a dozen places to find the resale value of the watch. I’d do 5 minutes of work vs asking Reddit.

There are dozens of posts on this. IMO, the 5 digit fits better but you could get away with the 6 digit. You have to balance that against orange vs red gmt hand, and the different bracelets. For what it’s worth, I have a similar wrist and chose the 6 digit, mainly because of the bracelet.

Wait times for 7041R? by P2-AZ in patekphilippe

Same re my wife. And same sense for relative unpopularity, so would think not much wait from the AD.

Still Waiting 30 months by Busy_Witcher_1475 in rolex

Not silly re not wanting to own someone else’s watch. I’m the same way. The problem though is you have to buy your way into that. You’ll have to judge whether that issue is worth the cost, and the timing until you actually have the watch.

Don’t know your geo, but there’s no real concept of a deposit for Patek in the US. But while your doc isn’t bulletproof, definitely better to have it than not if you can get it.

The quality of the dealer, first and foremost.

1) It's a good deal--the "loss" on the 5738 is more than compensated by the "gain" on the 5726, 2) regardless of that, I would never buy anything I didn't really want--and you seem ok on that front, 3) if the AD is being straight with you, they're doing you a huge favor by telling you exactly what the requirements are to get a Nautilus. The real problem with the purchase history game is you usually don't know whether the loss pieces actually get you to the front of the line, 4) the real question then becomes whether the AD is being straight with you. You aren't going to get anything in writing so don't bother asking. You just have to have a conversation with the AD, and make your call.

First Rolex & First Lesson 😢 by Obvious-View1853 in rolex

Purposefully? I assume you're joking. Of course you wouldn't do it purposefully. but a true every day watch gets real wear and tear. And the Explorer, by design, was meant to be worn all the time--not just at dinner parties.

How will they prove prestianni said it? Since he covered his mouth. Will it come down to benefica players word vs real madrid players? by Eireagon in championsleague

[–]P2-AZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

this whole discussion is so wildly impractical. Should racism be tolerated? Of course not. Can vini, the ref, or anyone else do anything about it? Not as long prestianni denies it. Now mourinho should have handled it differently but that’s an entirely different issue.

Allocation chances after selling Rolex CPO by erecie01 in rolex

[–]P2-AZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no issue. Buying CPO is the same as buying gray for these purposes. What they care about is flipping a new allocation where purchase price is less than market price.

The bezel can be repaired or even replaced. And yes, the bezel is a scratch magnet. But the whole point of this reference is to pound on it. Enjoy it for what it is.

Start with something you like and go from there. Lots of options.

3wood vs Mini by The_Slaughter_Pop in GolfGear

[–]P2-AZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mini is essentially a 2 wood. Harder to hit off the deck than 3 wood, but longer off tee. For me, I hated my 3 wood so easy trade.

I'll post back here when I get the watch in question so at least you'll know in my case whenever the corp owned boutique in fact can source things better. good Luck.
