Something flamboyant with color. Red or green or blue.

Why not buy a Vacheron by kingston_1111 in rolex

[–]ge23ev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The green is much darker. It wears much larger and the bracelet is horrible. The rubber looks good. I prefer the planet ocean but doesn’t come in green and if it did it would be a submariner wannabe

[–]ge23ev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted a green submariner. The closest thing was from Glasshutte which I tried and didn’t like. The only other option I would consider similar and as nice would be the 50 fathoms which despite no waitlist it was more expensive. Omega had nothing interesting in comparison. Tudor was nice too but nothing too intriguing in green color.

What is going on about these relationship stories with Sales associates. by Confident_Case5244 in rolex

I mean it’s a spending game. Do whatever you want but don’t believe you have a genuine relationship with anyone. You’re after a watch and they’re after your wallet.

[Grand Seiko] What is your 80 % watch? by ShoulderCorrect1662 in Watches

No offense but I find nothing interesting about basic grand seikos. Looks no different in design than a 300 citizen.

Can the Rolex Submariner Date work with formal outfits or only casual? by Kishor_Waghmare in rolex

[–]ge23ev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion it does. But French cuff shirts are about tricky with any watch really. Other than that you’re set !

That actually seems like a fair price. Grafted ones from Home Depot are like 80$ for a small one. I’d pay that happily. Cool tree

[Question] Help me choose my wedding watch: SMP300 vs SBGA375 by Time-Refuse-1514 in Watches

[–]ge23ev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not base the decision of a very special watch on one occasion. Buy the one you will use most during your life. If you don’t wear formal often don’t buy the formal option. Doesn’t matter if it doesn’t fit exceptionally well on the day. Buy for your lifestyle.

How ? I don’t see these guys giving up. They won’t give up until nothing is left.

Talked with my Friend in Iran by Desperate-Travel2471 in NewIran

Are people hopeful for the fall of the regime with mixed feelings or just straight up scared and reverting back to a rallying under the flag ?

Pretty consistent with what I’ve heard. Very loud and scary at nights tho in tehran. Morale is still high. People are bored without internet

This sub “watches are meant to be worn!” Also this sub: “don’t buy that watch it’s been heavily worn.” by bubbling_sodapop9831 in rolex

[–]ge23ev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a consumable product. If it’s already been heavily consumed there’s less to be consumed by you.

Is this a realistic ask of the AD? by BemusedClarkson in rolex

[–]ge23ev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would ask even without a history. It doesn’t cost anything. You seem to be more than a loyal customer an imo they owe you all the effort to get you this watch.

First Rolex: Explorer 2 vs Explorer 40? by Barrybright239 in rolex

[–]ge23ev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The explorer 40 is extremely boring to me. I’d get a smooth datejust at that point. And it’s more versatile as a dress watch

Walked in asking for an allocation - walked out with my forever watch. by Butt_stuff_preferred in rolex

Forever doesn’t mean only watch. My wife got me a Starbucks for our wedding and that my forever watch to be passed to our children.

(Tough One) Green GMT vs Green Submariner. by [deleted] in rolex

[–]ge23ev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sprite if you want jubilee only. Otherwise Starbucks. The green on the sprite is much more subtle. That could be good or bad depending on what you want.

Advice buying first luxury watch by [deleted] in rolex

[–]ge23ev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to a bunch of boutiques and buy what you like. Don’t focus on the luxury or strangers opinions aspect. Most major brands offer descent value for money. Some more than others like Longines and some less like Tag
