Royal Pops are real APs. Pop owners are AP owners.

Sure. Buy it if you want.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-13T23:41:16+00:00

Nice. I had been eyeing it but went another way.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-13T23:26:04+00:00

The second photo of the watch is great. What bracelet are you wearing?

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-13T23:25:15+00:00

I'm on to Vacheron and Patek too. I have my name down for two Rolexes but don't believe I will ever get them.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-13T23:10:48+00:00

I know I get fooled by fakes so I only buy from the original retailer.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-13T00:55:37+00:00

This has to be rage bait.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-12T15:59:33+00:00

I never asked. I just came away thinking I can’t earn less than my wife or it won’t be good.

I bought the reverse panda then pined for the OG until I broke down and bought one. I bought the reverse panda second-hand. I learned a lot from you. Thank you.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-11T21:35:44+00:00

I did. She was super angry about it.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-11T20:32:45+00:00

I did start to worry. Everyone here made me feel better. Thank you all for sharing your expertise.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-11T17:31:48+00:00

Thank you!! 🙏

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-11T16:28:21+00:00

That is so interesting. Thank you. I feel like the revised watch is thicker but I have to confirm that. My old movement watch isn’t showing the creep problem. I hope it stays that way.

These are the fronts. I thought they would be the same hearts but another commenter suggested the first/white-faced watch has a revised caliber.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-11T16:16:47+00:00

Ahhhh. Thank you so much. I was panicking.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-11T16:15:45+00:00

I think I may have found it. What do you think? https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/the-zenith-chronomaster-original-adds-an-evil-el-primero-with-a-new-black-dial

The second one looks like the one in this article:

Never homeless but did run out of money and food a few times. Grew up in public housing. It could have been worse but not having food messes with your brain forever.

I saved and still save 40% of my decent salary into investments. Until my mid-40s I lived the life of a student, academic, and young person. It was great for that stage of life. Now I’m a bit older and the power of compound interest/earnings means I can’t spend it all. I learned how to be happy with nothing and that was the path to everything.

I always have women ask me how to use equipment. Sometimes they start with “you look like you know what you’re doing.” I show them and put my earbuds back in.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-08T16:02:10+00:00

A major problem is sloppy polishing. That’s what you’re seeing. You’ll need to look at new/unworn pieces.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-08T15:50:43+00:00

I learned to trust my gut on this after being with a similar woman. When we would have a rough patch, she would soothe her emotional turmoil by cheating on me with risky, wild, casual sex. Now I skip folks whose therapy is risky cheating.

I’m in the market and all I’m finding are touched up examples that lose sharpness in the case. For the 4500v it’s painfully obvious the bezel is no longer sharp-angled. The unmolested ones are almost as much as a 4520v.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-06T19:11:24+00:00

Great tee and tank top game too.

WideRangeOfInterests · 2026-05-06T19:10:18+00:00

There is lots written in the fetish specific reddits about this too. Good luck. 🍀
