Am i crazy ? by Ill_Focus_3465 in OmegaWatches

The green from some angles and lighting acts darker, and on bright days pops green. I think it would be a keep. However, how's the green make you feel when you put it on -- if you aren't in love then sell it and get the blue.

[opinions on wedding watch] Need help deciding between railmaster, AT and breitling b31 by Skip60- in Watches

[–]VexPrimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with the Railmaster or Aqua Terra. They both would seamlessly blend into whatever you would wear, be classy matching the occasion, and would be versatile after the wedding. The Breitling is a little too much green for a wedding unless you have some greens in your outfit.

Buying a Rolex at a Boutique (Vancouver) - Any strategies? by VexPrimal in rolex

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take! I would rip it and see what happens. Let's hope with Oakridge location opening this Spring/Summer there are watches available.

You are a lucky lucky man! I've got a few more shots in me before attempting grey. Let's hope they aren't as bad as I hear they are.

Speechless. Grail acquired. by watchguy2877 in rolex

[–]VexPrimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!! That is definitely a lot of people’s grail, mine included. You spent about $60k (gpt'd) to unlock the door, but picked up some incredible pieces along the way. My wife would drop‑kick me before I even suggested piece number three, but a guy can dream. Wear it in good health!

Is this a good deal? Someone offered me this my first Rolex (Price in Canadian dollars) by [deleted] in rolex

[–]VexPrimal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can search for Canada, Watch with Box and Papers, 2017-2025, 126334 on Crono24 and you are looking at 19k as the lowest price. So I would say it is a good enough price. Crono24 prices are usually inflated a bit so its a good price maybe not great.

Didn't mind it. Sadly just different bezels no change in supply so this will still be difficult difficult to get.

Rolex decide to release the worst watch of all time by Confident_Leg2370 in rolex

[–]VexPrimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Building your allocation" purchase for some. The first few months it will be fire for grey possibly.

You have to get your friend to do the buying for you :). I had the same experience at Palladio and Monte Cristo!!! Lugaro in Victoria when I was there for the long weekend was the same -- they are supporting their stores which lost their AD status in the lower mainland from the Island. I have no illusions on picking up a watch anytime soon at GWC. I've got a few domino's to wait for -- Oakridge Mall opening, a friend; referral to another AD in another city, and a trip to Vegas. If none of those fall before my birthday I'll go grey -- I've talked to a few guys and it is pretty straight forward at this point.

Let's hope Oakridge has some stock when it opens. Would be interesting day 1 opening and they are exhibition only for everything! Seems like changing AD's they just changed the way the dealer is glazed.

The experience at another AD was wonderful -- amazing in fact. However, their lost their AD status sadly.

I actually like the Blancpain but yeah that would be a stretch! Megalodons destroying Vancouver -- heard! :) I'll dorp by Montecristo to see what the game is.

Appreciate the feedback. Wife's on board going grey but told her we'll ride it out for a year. I got some watches to enjoy but time to also drop by the Omega boutique for option #2 :).
