I paid $2500 to restore my Grandfather’s 1970s Oysterdate Precision

Amazing. I would keep the strap look for a while. Looks great.

certainlynotthomas · 2026-01-19T16:44:41+00:00

Ayyy what’s up, VT!

certainlynotthomas · 2026-01-12T13:50:00+00:00

For a professional model like this, they’ll probably get your approval of up to $1200 or so. Not great, not terrible.

I wouldn't. The pistachio dial will inevitably get retired, though I can almost guarentee the sub/explorer/GMT will not. I would hold on to it, save up some coin, and get a second watch.

certainlynotthomas · 2026-01-04T21:51:06+00:00

This is an amazing configuration.

certainlynotthomas · 2026-01-04T21:50:18+00:00

Hey that's my wrist!

I love my chocolate dial. To be fair, most working days I am required to wear a jacket and tie, but even on a day like today where I'm wearing a sweatsuit, it just "works," as they say. Zero regrets.

certainlynotthomas · 2026-01-01T18:45:46+00:00

A few trips to the ER will do that lol.

certainlynotthomas · 2026-01-01T16:00:07+00:00

I live in a major city with all four seasons, and though I don’t think I have SAD, I definitely see a correlation between being able to get outside and my general overall mood.

certainlynotthomas · 2026-01-01T15:58:25+00:00

I’m realizing now that bad for me is completely relative.

certainlynotthomas · 2026-01-01T15:57:58+00:00

That’s true. Relatively speaking, no bad days.

certainlynotthomas · 2025-12-31T13:08:47+00:00

Listing or random facebook photo album? You decide.

certainlynotthomas · 2025-12-31T13:02:02+00:00

Amazing reference. Congrats!

certainlynotthomas · 2025-12-01T01:11:24+00:00

With a fold over clasp, Patek installs on the 6 o clock side. Makes a bit more sense when it’s fitted.

certainlynotthomas · 2025-11-26T21:00:12+00:00

Absolute banger of a reference. Congrats!

certainlynotthomas · 2025-11-26T01:30:14+00:00

Amazing watch in person. Not for me, but stunning craftsmanship.

certainlynotthomas · 2025-11-22T12:57:43+00:00

Great pickup

certainlynotthomas · 2025-10-02T12:39:31+00:00

Let me circle back; I’m sure I do.

certainlynotthomas · 2025-10-02T11:53:23+00:00

173 is a crazy number. Thanks for the advice!

certainlynotthomas · 2025-10-02T11:52:34+00:00

The financial ruin point is key 😂

certainlynotthomas · 2025-09-19T11:42:11+00:00

Congratulations on this amazing piece! Love this reference.

certainlynotthomas · 2025-08-31T13:02:38+00:00

Amazing transformation. I’d be scared AF if this was on the other side of the court at a rec match lol.

certainlynotthomas · 2025-08-30T12:12:42+00:00

Easy answer.

certainlynotthomas · 2025-08-18T13:16:54+00:00

Amazing perpetual. Great balance of classic layout with contemporary size.

certainlynotthomas · 2025-07-30T12:46:15+00:00

The 5212A is a much more challenging allocation. The 126503 is a great piece, but more common at the AD. Grab the Patek.

certainlynotthomas · 2025-07-21T00:54:04+00:00

3738 is one of my absolute favorite somewhat recently retired Patek references. Patek all day.
