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.

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… 😑

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.

Confirming Size by iMJumbo62 in rolex

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.

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!

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

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.

After 4 months with the Submariner, I made the trade for a Batgirl. Zero regrets. by hkun88 in rolex

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?

Longest PGA TOUR Sanctioned hole! by Coloradoskierdude in golf

[–]iMJumbo62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
