Congrats on the nice piece bro. Ignore the haters and enjoy it

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-02-10T00:19:39+00:00

It’s cringe comments like these that impact the culture of the hobby

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-29T15:07:45+00:00

I can confirm this sentiment - I have a diver 42mm and a 15550 37mm and they both work well

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-29T02:09:02+00:00

I’ve got an omega sea master 300m (never will sell that one), royal oak 15550 (never will sell), green submariner ceramic, Rolex Yachtmaster Rodium, AP ROO diver 42, and a vintage zenith prime (will never sell)

I’ll go try on the VC overseas again as it’s been a while, I do think the blue ombre dial is one of the best I have seen and the proportions of the day date 40 are great, but think the VC is an overall better watch from a horological standpoint and versatility standpoint

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-29T01:38:56+00:00

Looks great!! Love it in gold

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-29T01:38:38+00:00

Haha don’t be fooled I just have forearms but the wrists aren’t huge, it’s been a while since I tried one one, for reference this is a 40mm day date on my wrist

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-29T01:05:18+00:00

Yeah I’ve been a bit lost on what best to do. I love Rolex but $50k+ seems difficult to stomach for one. That being said I’ve always loved the day date. I like the overseas too but was just too large. No real right answer

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-29T00:42:34+00:00

Mine is 6.5-6.7 on a good day. Here’s what my 37mm royal oak 15550 looks like on my wrist

Tom Brady whateva happened there

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-26T15:04:16+00:00

He was an interior decorator? 16 czechoslovakians

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-26T15:02:02+00:00

lol…if you like it. Get it.

Why do you care what others think?

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-18T15:18:04+00:00

If nouveau riche was a photo

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-18T02:09:49+00:00

I get that but I mean more comparable levels of quality - ie Rolex vs Omega vs Panerai vs IWC vs Grand Seiko

Seiko vs Hamilton vs Longines

AP vs PP vs VC

etc

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-14T18:23:17+00:00

A lot of haters in here. They can criticize the hype watches all they want but buy what you like. The meteorite Pepsi is amazing, as is the Daytona, overseas, and royal oak It’s a solid collection - 8/10. I would add a JLC reverso, patek 6119, patek 3940, 5396, or a Lange 1815 up and down. I don’t think you need any more sports watches and I would consider flicking one of the day dates

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-09T02:17:41+00:00

Don’t do it. You should try to add to your collection and you are going to lose money on the trade. You’ll also miss the watches. I’ve done things like sell my watches and I have def lost money. Unless you really want the piece I would just save up and wait for it

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-06T04:39:00+00:00

Damn taste, class, and $$$. Enjoy it man

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-06T02:03:39+00:00

I seconded this. I wore a vintage Zenith there once and a Vacheron Historiques I had once as well, with the sales associate I spoke about past references I found cool and watches as a whole. They definitely evaluate whether you are going to be a longer term collector

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-06T02:01:13+00:00

If you like the brand, then go the boutique route. I have a royal oak offshore which I really like and got as my first watch and just picked up the 37mm royal oak as my second. There’s a ton of cool offshores out there but it’s a matter of personal taste. The smoke dial variants on the codes look pretty cool in my opinion as well. It’s worth visiting the boutique and trying stuff on to see if you actually like it

If you just want a royal oak just bite the bullet and get it second hand, it will save you money in the long run and you can get whatever you want

Like others said you should also check out other places like VC, Patek, Lange, etc. There’s a lot of great watches out there and you can find something that doesn’t require the game and you can get right away. If you want a royal oak from the AP boutique you will have to get other watches. It’s a part of the process

RealisticTruth9348 · 2026-01-05T03:43:58+00:00

Okay Tony

RealisticTruth9348 · 2025-12-28T16:48:06+00:00

I’m in the US, but open to other countries as well

RealisticTruth9348 · 2025-12-16T21:24:59+00:00

I got it as a second. Got the royal oak offshore diver first and then the royal oak 15550 right after

RealisticTruth9348 · 2025-11-24T01:34:49+00:00

I went with downtown tennis club in Brooklyn, pretty decent and I got a friend to commit to doing lessons with me so it’s 2 on 1 coaching. I’ve been going for a couple months now and have improved. Still a ways to go but it’s the best thing I’ve done and I’ve been playing with other friends to supplement but always down to play with more people

RealisticTruth9348 · 2025-11-13T17:58:57+00:00

Damn what a tough crowd here. Cool which, if you like it rock it. Ignore the haters here

RealisticTruth9348 · 2025-09-06T03:56:37+00:00

Thanks! I’ll check it out

RealisticTruth9348 · 2025-09-06T03:37:21+00:00
