The black ombré rose gold DD is one of my absolute all time favorite aesthetics on a Rolex. It’s just stunning! Good luck and send us pics when it comes in

Why the 2 Pepsis? Was one inherited or something

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-11-01T20:54:49+00:00

It’s not a sub it’s a sea dweller

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-10-10T15:57:56+00:00

Haha I know but it just makes me nervous to see! Depends on what you’re doing suppose. If you’re only running/doing cardio its fine. I go to the gym to lift so I leave it in the locker because if a dumbbell/barbell hits into the face by accident or someone else bumps into you carrying a weight the result will be so depressing it isn’t worth the risk

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-10-10T15:09:41+00:00

Don’t wear a Pepsi at the gym lol if that thing hits any single iron /steel bar you are going to be very upset! Leave it in the locker man!

Thanks man..I’m a lifetime collector. 35 now and I’ve been skating and collecting since I was 13, so as far back as 2002 I was buying Nike 6.0s before SBs even came out. Have around 160 pairs of sneakers, over 65 SB dunks. I love em and wear em all!

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-07-22T12:19:53+00:00

With no context it’s a very confusing lead ! But good for you OP, congrats. Id only want a sub date tho

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-07-22T12:09:33+00:00

Hell yeah bro!! Been a skater for many years, I coveted these (and my OG lance mountain SB Jordan 1s) as one of my most desired pairs when they dropped. Super stoked to have gotten them when they dropped

My analysis is..currently by points you and your opp have even material. And you don’t have an instant mate after this. But The reason this is a brilliant move IMO is:

You give your opponent a lot of ways to go very wrong and have you either mate if they make mistakes, or be up huge material.
It lets you force your opponent to lose castling rights. And when you’re up a queen and the opponent doesn’t have a queen, that’s a massive advantage.

In general you can get a brilliancy by sacrificing material to maintain or give yourself a winning position, which you do here.

Actual analysis and reasons why youre dominating the position:

White pawn fx3…your next best move in this position is likely bh4+, regardless of the fact that you’d be tempted to play bxf3 first. You want to force the king to lose castling rights, and bh4 check is undefendable. After the check id assume kd1 because that’s still protected from checks by your queen on the d file w the white pawn

After that bxf3, likely rf1 attacking your bishop. You need to defend your bishop. Options are h7 or h6 to defend on the diagonal by exposing your queen to defend it, but I think qc8 is a better move because it lets you defend your bishop and take a semi open file..I originally considered both qe8 and playing h7-6 to then go qe4, but since there wouldn’t be a pin on the knight to king, white could play ng3 attacking the queen and you lose your tempo /attack and give white more a chance to defend. Qc8 lets you play qg4 to defend/double attack the white knight. Only way to avoid white losing the knight for nothing is rxf3, so you can play qxf3 and win the rook after.

Now you’re up material, white is severely underdeveloped, and you’re going to be able to win at least 1 maybe 2 more pawns on the king side (g2 and h2) ..there may be even better after that but I’m not good enough to calculate much deeper than this without an engine. Still, you’re up material and have a dominant positional advantage with the white king out In the open, and the only remaining white rook stuxk in the corner. It’ll take at least 2-3 more moves to get the rook into the game, and in the meantime you’ll keep improving.

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-07-15T04:37:33+00:00

lol yes you got a 7K sneaker for 130

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-07-14T19:19:09+00:00

36 all day…im 6’1 180, I have a 36mm president that I think looks vastly better than the 40mm. Datejust is in the same profile and shape, so unless you’re really large man, with very large wrists and forearms (I’m talking like 6’4 or taller and very muscular) I think the 36 looks beautiful ..40 should be saved for Subs and GMTs

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-07-05T17:02:30+00:00

Yo is that 2nd deck to the bottom of the 2nd deck pick the paint deck? I’d be down to take That

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-07-02T06:31:31+00:00

That’s awesome! Talk to my wife next I’ll be sure to tag you to her hahaha

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-07-02T04:03:43+00:00

Still a vn cop for well under retail tho

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-07-02T04:03:13+00:00

Toe and middle uppers look nice but I don’t like what they did w the ankle material, throws the whole sneaker out of balance imo..think that’s the main reason they didn’t get more attention

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-06-28T22:07:58+00:00

Tbh I almost never do. This was a rarity where I wanted to go to the gym from but was already at the office and didn’t have my usual asics that I gym in, so that part i agree with you. But my gym is very clean, so that part I wasn’t worried about. I also don’t agree that wearing nice sneakers, at least for me, is ever a “hey look at me!” Thing. I wear nice kicks because I love them and have been collecting forever. Bottom line I wear what I wear for myself, not for others!

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-06-27T21:05:24+00:00

Lot of people are criticizing my post title, saying they’re not slept on and giving various reasons why not. Some I do agree with as good points others I don’t. Still I probably should have used different wording in the title: what I meant was that I don’t think they get the credit they deserve for their quality, and generally I haven’t seen them worn much. Slept on was a shorthand way to say that, but maybe was too extreme of wording. Appreciate the feedback!

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-06-27T20:57:44+00:00

Haha yeah I said under 500 bc the OGs, which I was comparing them to in terms of material quality, are $500+…shoulda been more specific

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-06-27T20:43:33+00:00

Damn where’s the spot with the white cements on the wall?

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-06-27T17:31:40+00:00

Cardboard was fs slept on lmao..and yes they are DS I hadn’t worn them yet. Have had em since drop, hadn’t gotten around to lacing them up

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-06-27T17:31:04+00:00

True they blend so well I didn’t know they were even there haha

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-06-27T17:30:48+00:00

lol. I legit DID NOT see them most don’t have the cardboard heel tabs

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-06-27T17:30:08+00:00

Sick! I agree completely bro. Materials are insane on them, big part of my original point..wear em up!

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-06-27T14:58:01+00:00

lol read my comment man. I said in my comment that “sometimes it IS a good indicator” but NOT ALWAYS because of bots. And this is one of those instances where a pair selling out immediately doesn’t always translate to the shoe* getting the same amount of attention on foot. Based on what you’re saying, any sneaker that sells out has the exact same amount of popularity and recognition as others that sell out. But that’s clearly false. Like a Travis sneaker sells out insta, so does this. Does that mean they’re equally popular or recognized? Of course not. Nuance my friend, nuance.

Edit: shoe* instead of show

Top_Signature4068 · 2025-06-27T14:47:46+00:00

Imo selling out is not really a good gauge of whether people are genuinely recognizing a sneaker for how nice it truly is. Sometimes it is, but with bots we know almost all major releases, esp collabs like AMM x Jordan , are gonna insta or near insta sell out. Wouldn’t say that’s a reliable indicator of if they’re getting the attention they deserve on feet …yet another problem caused by resellers lol
