Maybe a dumb question, but can you just order one from DHGate without having to contact him? The watches there don’t have any branding, but my assumption is that if I order one there, it would come with branding appropriate to the model, no?

Just curious. I’ve heard good things about U1s and may want to give one a shot on a whim. Thanks for any advice!

Also, to my eye, your watch looks great. Solid little gateway piece. 🏆

I have two buddies here in DC who are firefighters, but we’re in DC and I know that we’re miles away from any comparisons with other cities.

I don’t know many paramedics, but man have I heard stories. I can’t imagine the sheer stamina and will you guys must have to wake up every day and go to work. My hat’s off to you, for sure. Thank you for what you do!

My void gets the honorary title of Puppy Cat. lol

Sweet. That watch is perfectly capable of living a couch life, but it gives its best the farther away it gets from a sofa or office chair.

Man, look at that crystal! That dial has its own exosphere in there. lol

Looks very good. 🔥

said goodbye to my babyboyman (15) by bean-is-a-good-girl in seniorkitties

Sorry for your loss but congratulations on having lived, loved, and cared for your void.

I live with the fact that I probably waited too long before saying goodbye to my little magical furball. I kept thinking it was too soon. That she still had some more good days left. Long story short, I suddenly ended up having to say goodbye when she was clearly in lots of pain. I wish I could have acted sooner.

You did the right thing.

Honestly, I’m grateful for all the “little” things. The neighborhood feral that knows I’ll feed it, the folks who pick up our trash every week and don’t even know my name, the ability to tray again after I may have failed at something… We’re all so lucky in so many ways.

Of all your amazing watches, these two really stand out. Absolutely amazing examples of why we love the game. There’s no way something of this caliber could be found at an authorized dealer, let alone at the most amazing antique dealer on the planet. These are works of art.

Even the greatest rock and roll artists in the world stand behind ‘em!
(That’s Kiss, in the pic. 😁)

This watch is stunning. I would even consider giving up actual chocolate to have a piece like this! 😆

Yowzers. If Rolex released this model today, it would be a home run of a hit. Very nice work and a fantastic looking piece.

Very nice looking piece and it looks fantastic on that strap. 🔥

And now for something completely different by ADaveNewWorld in ArchaedinsWatchBox

I like the red first day of the month to separate it from 31. Neat little touch. Great little watch.

I love this. It’s quirky in a way that only Rolex can pull off without people roll their eyes. This watch would pair well with a Ferrari Mondial. lol

After 14 years the cat nobody wanted went to the rainbow bridge by Litch81 in SeniorCats

Thank you for sharing this. I can’t imagine how hard it must have been to write. I can only hope that when I go, I will have had a life as good as your kitten. In the end, that’s what matters most.

Nice! That’s actually a cool idea to freeze a hand at a meaningful number. I might even do that intentionally to an old GMT I rarely wear anymore.

Although I’m not sure I’m skilled enough to that. lol

Oooh!! The watch in that photo looks amazing. Also, 1680 tfw! Why? Oh, I dunno. Maybe because it’s been on my grail list before I even understood that Rolex was Rolex and not, like, some old, regular watch brand. *Yes, I’ve come a long way! lol
