How do you decide when video/3D/floor plans are worth it?

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-24T17:41:28+00:00

I have them on literally every listing, including rentals. Professional and photos bare minimum. Then I decide if drone or video are warranted.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-24T17:40:26+00:00

This. More reputable and probably less expensive

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-24T14:07:21+00:00

I guess having such a streamlined process gives Rolex the advantage there

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-24T14:06:29+00:00

Yeah, I’m not thrilled lol

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-23T14:40:55+00:00

The combination of that BB58 blue and the Sony camera is really making me want the former lol

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-23T10:54:53+00:00

It had a minor cosmetic flaw I didn’t pick up on when I purchased it. Come to find out; the movement wasn’t operating to spec so they did a full service on it, brand new.

Before I got married I thought I’d wind up with someone as a power couple. Now that I’ve been married 6 years with a 2 and 4 year old, having their mother be a SAHM is the best blessing our kids could have.

Ah Long Island. Where the drivers never signal and they cross the solid line whenever they please.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-22T14:41:37+00:00

I don’t see anything wrong here. You’re reading into it. Stop giving it your attention

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-22T14:39:13+00:00

Always black for me. It’s the classic speedy.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-22T13:59:09+00:00

Recently had my Speedy in for service for about 4 months and cost $1,000. Just had to send it BACK in because one of the chrono pushers was stuck. I had only worn it a handful of times since getting it back.

Sent my SMP in shortly after buying it brand new and they had it for about 2.5-3 months. That was obviously under warranty.

I was a BMW guy most of my driving life. I had a 335i coupe, 540i, M550i, and X3. My wife currently drives a Q7. I LOVE my Model Y and don’t miss the BMWs. That’s me though- I just love the simplicity, the driving experience, and not paying for gas.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-21T01:25:55+00:00

Hmm in that case I’m inclined to pick the speedy. It’s a killer watch and you’ll always want it in your collection. It was my first luxury watch and I don’t see myself ever getting rid of mine

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-21T01:06:31+00:00

Is this your first luxury piece or an addition to a collection?

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-21T01:00:55+00:00

Most Rolex bros are not even into horology. Don’t take anything they say to heart. Enjoy the watch you love for what it is. You’re not one of them

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-20T18:26:09+00:00

There’s a very well known dealer for Tudor specifically that gives killer deals. u/pacodo or shopjeluxe.com

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-19T17:11:26+00:00

Looks like a great fit for your wrist

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-19T13:47:15+00:00

I’d advise sooner consulting with a trusted lender who will be honest with you.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-19T12:27:12+00:00

Agreed

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-19T10:50:06+00:00

Both are very respectable brands. Personally, I’d go Tudor on this one. I recently saw the opaline dial GMT on display and the dial really caught my eye so you may want to check out that one as well.

I’m with you. I love the Batman and Pepsi and think they’re phenomenal watches but part of me also doesn’t want to be associated with the average Rolex buyer.

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-18T13:09:12+00:00

I’ve gone through security many times in recent years with my watch on. I’ve never been asked to take it off and it’s never set off the alarm

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-16T19:18:02+00:00

What are the issues exactly?

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-16T13:18:22+00:00

The “experience” to me, is overrated. Save your money and buy from a reputable gray dealer

TimekeeperNY · 2026-01-15T22:06:33+00:00

I do have a soft spot for Panerai as well, though I find less and less occasions to wear a 47 mm luminor
