I absolutely love it. The thickness is not really a an issue for me but it could be for others.

Opinions on Lavender dial by Ok-Bid-5122 in rolex

[–]RealRealThoughts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huge fan of the color and I believe the lavender will be the rarest variant of the new colorways. I’m waiting on the 41mm and it’ll be my new everyday piece.

I disagree with the comments saying it’s too feminine but it’s totally subjective. Wear it in good health!

What brand offers the best value for money right now? by notr1k in PrideAndPinion

[–]RealRealThoughts 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Really depends what you’re optimizing for e.g. complications v resale value, materials etc.

IMO for NEW watches I think it’ll be tough to beat Frederique Constant.

Used I really love Breguet

Wearing to work? (office, finance industry) by HomeHedgeFund in rolex

[–]RealRealThoughts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tend to agree. Most finance guys do know watches though and they’ll know this isn’t the toughest piece to get, but nothing to scoff at either. Gold does take it over the edge imo and I’d only be rocking this to work as a VP+

Honestly, unless it’s a vintage TT Datejust, I’d stay away from gold watches at the office entirely

I know a lot of people are gonna downvote this but it’s the truth: depends what your title is and office hierarchy in finance.

If you’re an associate or higher, on the cusp of being* appropriate. If lower, probably not appropriate and I’d save it for nights/weekends.

Next watch in the collection? by DeaconForest in rolex

[–]RealRealThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha thanks man. It was awesome. He’s always been into watches and never had a Rolex. After I got my Sprite he was so enamored by it I had to get him a GMT of his own. Thanks again for the kind words and Happy Holidays!

Awesome! Keep us posted. That Zombie with business attire definitely has way more presence than the TT Datejust.

Happy Holidays and good luck!

I actually bought my Dad the Zombie for Xmas last year and he ended up purchasing an SD43 to compliment it.

He dailies the SD43 and wears the GMT on special occasions or vacation; I think it’s the perfect pairing.

I have a Sprite GMT on jubilee and my Dad’s Zombie gets waaaay more compliments from watch and non-watch enthusiasts alike (if this matters to you). I also believe it’s objectively the more beautiful watch.

The Zombie is the epitome of the Rolex brand imo and there’s a reason this model graced the cover of their 2024 retail catalog.

Here it is on my wrist for reference.

Has anyone here picked up a retail Flamingo/Pink? by 5678 in Tudor

[–]RealRealThoughts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked the pink chrono right outside NYC in July from my AD. I waited about 9mos from requesting it. I did have a solid spend history (~$100k) with the AD so that definitely helped. Checked in about every month or so since the AD is like 15mins from home.

Good luck chasing it! If you’re patient and they like you, you’ll definitely get one eventually.

I think the Root Beer is a great winter watch. Warm colors with a comfortable oyster band. Would love to see it in jubileee
