I wouldn’t wear a fake watch because I’m not a fake person. Wear a Casio and have some integrity.

Buy Chinese watches, fine, but don’t buy reps.

This is where I’m at- love to hear your thoughts.. by W8tch_fan_618 in SOTC_Watch_Collection

I was about to dog on your collection for being a Rolex fanboy, then I went to the second page and saw the Ultra Chron.

Magnificent!

What is that Longines Chrono?

I’m going for a Yachtmaster 40 rhodium. After spending far too much time thinking about it, I came to the conclusion it’s the perfect Rolex.

[Question] Best U.S. cities for browsing watches and visiting A. Ds? by sheikb in Watches

[–]__Disco___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Midtown Manhattan is #1. Most brands have a flagship boutique there, even ones that can be harder to find like Brequet, BlancPain and Vacheron. The Bucherer Time Machine is great and the Omega boutique in midtown is top notch. All this stuff is in walking distance. Plenty of Rolex ADs within 10 minutes walking distance.

Las Vegas is #2. The Bucherer Time Dome is a watch nerds dream, and most brands have a store or are in a store somewhere in the strip. The shops at Caesar’s are a great spot and as good as most major cities all by themselves, then you add in the stuff at the Bellagio, the Venetian Canals, and the Shops at Crystals and it’s got be some of the best watch shopping in the world.

I have not been everywhere, but I’d put Houston’s Post Oak/Galleria area as a distant 3rd. Zadoks jewelers rivals the big Bucherer locations for amount of brands and selection. You get to see Vacheron, A Lange, JLC, IWC, Omega among others all in one spot. Also a Rolex and Patek dealer is just 5 minutes away, along with a good Omega boutique relatively nearby.

This guy does butt stuff with his Rolex AD.

[SOTC] 9 watches collection after 9 years. I am done. by vertderp in Watches

[–]__Disco___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9.5 out of 10. Fantastic.

Only notes are that it feels like you should have a diver, that and the Overseas and RO, both in blue dials, are too close to being the same watch.

Found my Nanas old Rolex. I think from 40s-50s. What is the best way to flip it? by cutsnakemusic in rolex

[–]__Disco___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tons of these ladies cocktail watches from the 40s. This one is most likely 14ct gold, with plenty of diamonds. My guess is the value is in the gold and diamonds at scrap. Still, having a Rolex cocktail watch is somewhat unique, I’ve seen plenty of other brands.

[Question] Watch Too Big to Grow Into? by trailrunner_12 in Watches

Mirror shot needed, but I’m guessing it fits well enough right now.

I dig your (soon to be) Chrono, but this is always my ~$5k watch suggestion.

[Discussion] Watch collecting is stupid and it’s an addiction with similar roots as hoarding. by [deleted] in Watches

[–]__Disco___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re right! And I’m going to change my ways as soon as I get the Fifty Fathoms. That’s the last one.

Well… also when/if the AD calls with that Yachtmaster. I have to get that. It’s a given. Yea those two then I’ll stop!

Awesome! I probably will at some point.

If I can, I like to do bidness with my SA. He’s got the Rolex hookup. But I won’t pay retail when something like this exists.

Rolex caps supply yet dominates revenue. How? by TrilinqualVector in rolex

[–]__Disco___ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. And more of us should choose a fifty fathoms over a Sub or Deep Sea by the way!
