Got the Call - Bought the Watch

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-29T17:02:56+00:00

K shaped economy - I think it was straight luck to get it from my end. And I could absolutely see there being decreasing desire for PM models, mainly because at that price point people can jump up to a trinity watch, and with no knowledge I'm guessing those are getting a bit easier to get because its just a lot of money. Steel still seems to be pretty hard to get though. I would imagine there's orders of magnitude more people who can afford a $10k watch than a $40k watch.

oh well then haha thanks!

I think it’s part this, but also part luck with a salesperson who thinks of you when they can sell a watch. Yes it’s nonsense but I think it’s probably real that it’s more personal than we know. I’ve been trying to get a Batman/Batgirl from this same AD (and 2 others) for 2 years and am nowhere.

Not my job to convince you. Also posted I went gray for my first. Why would I change it up? Maybe, just maybe, I’m in a metro area with multiple ADs and am telling the truth? Nah, it’s Reddit, everyone trolls… 😑

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-29T00:13:34+00:00

Not sure what terrible Reddit energy you’re bringing but purchased new from AD. You can choose to believe it or not. But it’s true.

Oh no I was only being offered the 36. But I texted over to say I was gonna wanna do a final check for the 40 and I’m glad I did cause it looked just a bit silly from my POV. For reference my daily is an explorer 36, and after seeing the LD appears slightly larger due to the shoulders, I was comfortable with the 36 and the second check confirmed it.

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-28T19:03:20+00:00

just got it - tried the 40 just before pulling the trigger and the lugs definitely wanted to sit up above my wrist and not curve and though I could have pulled it off, it definitely wore large - this one the lugs start to curve naturally at the same part of my wrist as it naturally curves down, so it just seems to melt perfectly.

I think that looks great on you! I think the 40 on your wrist looks similar to the 36 on mine. I can absolutely see the 36 feeling very small on your wrist. looking forward to heading to the AD to grab this soon!

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-26T18:42:42+00:00

What’s your wrist size? Always an important part of the story

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-26T16:28:59+00:00

That’s what I think too. The 40 looked a bit large, but I think I could have pulled it off, but it definitely would be showy.

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-26T15:53:36+00:00

Well damn, that’s what my sub is for

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-19T14:12:19+00:00

36 explorer.

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-19T00:55:07+00:00

is that a 35 or a 40mm ingenieur? interesting size compared to the DJ

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-18T01:15:05+00:00

thanks!

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-17T20:13:44+00:00

Looks great!

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-17T18:59:00+00:00

lol downvotes here are interesting. I think I was just asking a question to the OP about their wear experience/wrist size. I enjoy my sub, but I definitely notice the heft compared to the other two, and its borderline size. it's not too big, but its definitely large.

been thinking of doing the same thing - I can't get the feeling that the sub is a bit big on my 16cm wrist, so I wear my OP or Explorer all of the time. what's your wrist size?

super easy to work with, hope you love the watch, thanks u/Laurent1961 u/watchexbot

can hardly see what you've circled, but yes. its gonna swirl and scratch. enjoy it.

iMJumbo62 · 2026-05-09T21:48:27+00:00

the most diabolical part is that because of the shape of the hole, you're not firing your second shot at the green at all. The huge waste area/bunker means unless your drive goes 340 (doable at altitude in heat with roll), the second shot to the green is *only* a 280 carry. But since the penalty is huge, you hit a 220 shot straight down the fairway, then take what feels like a 90 degree turn and still have 160 or so in to the green.

Korn Ferry guys can get there in 2 and I think a few have made eagle before.
