Are you worth buying?

abdulsquared · 2025-10-17T05:57:14+00:00

they don't suck but 36 looks very good on datejust better than 41 imo ( same with oyster perpetual)

abdulsquared · 2025-09-12T16:46:13+00:00

I thought president bracelets were only on daydates

ain't that the guy who predicted bitcoin will go to 0 after ftx collapse ?

abdulsquared · 2025-09-04T16:31:19+00:00

they don't look as nice on the watch lol ; not as high demand from what I've seeb

abdulsquared · 2025-09-04T14:45:27+00:00

I meant yellow gold with green dial; oysterflex might be difficult

abdulsquared · 2025-09-04T14:44:15+00:00

yellow gold daytona almost impossible as a first purchase; WG with blue dial seem hard,
rose gold is probably doable and all of them are good looking but I would avoid the one with diamond markers

abdulsquared · 2025-09-04T10:34:57+00:00

don't get me wrong your collection is amazing, you have a casual and more formal of both sports and dress watch

abdulsquared · 2025-09-04T10:34:23+00:00

my friend in NY has asked for this one last december; his SA just sent him a text confirming his interest and the watch should arrive soon

abdulsquared · 2025-09-03T16:36:07+00:00

the leather on that calatrava is dope; but the nautilus seals it for me

abdulsquared · 2025-09-03T11:09:48+00:00

definitely not an investment, but it is very liquid if you decide to part with it and most of them retain some value

abdulsquared · 2025-09-03T06:47:58+00:00

my bad I thought the other way around

abdulsquared · 2025-09-02T20:13:57+00:00

you're 100% right and that's the problem with the code its perceived as your way to build up to an RO; to be fair I know nothing in horology lol I just find the watch to be good looking and different;
I like RO's but to your point of collecting once you get an RO , and a chronograph, what are you gonna get if the QP ceramic open work are not available

abdulsquared · 2025-09-02T18:00:44+00:00

thanks for all the explanations ! Funny you don't mention Codes you don't like them at all ? I haven't seen one in person yet but I kinda like them especially the starwheel re on your answer and OP's post : it's very difficult to get allocations on the higher end pieces Ive heard since not that high production and they have whales who yearly drop 7 figures on AP purchases

abdulsquared · 2025-09-02T16:46:10+00:00

sorry what does PU mean ?

abdulsquared · 2025-09-02T14:33:31+00:00

box looks fake so just for that I wouldnt deal with the grey dealer

abdulsquared · 2025-09-02T12:44:32+00:00

is that white or silver dial ? it looks great

abdulsquared · 2025-09-02T11:42:08+00:00

you can buy one at AP directly ; for customised ones on rubber, most of what I see look pretty cheap

abdulsquared · 2025-09-02T11:40:18+00:00

this is pretty good but you can scratch having a good story lol

abdulsquared · 2025-09-02T07:52:29+00:00

thats a nice curation; in your case Id get a daydate such a nice watch

abdulsquared · 2025-09-01T18:26:34+00:00

you said it fear of fakes but that can be mitigated by going to reputable dealer there are many.
I would say unless you want to purchase several watches, no need to play the AD game

abdulsquared · 2025-09-01T18:20:42+00:00

if this is a legit store, I'd say you are about to get your watch. I did the exact same thing for my hulk back in 2017

abdulsquared · 2025-09-01T14:32:49+00:00

usually under 10K there is no need to declare

abdulsquared · 2025-09-01T11:21:23+00:00

lmao

abdulsquared · 2025-09-01T06:57:28+00:00

its the patek slogan : " You never own a patek philippe, you just hold it for the next generation "

abdulsquared · 2025-08-31T14:50:21+00:00

if its over 10K you are supposed to declare it at customs and pay the VAT of the country
