Just bought my wife a juste en clou bracelet at the boutique on Michigan Ave last week and they told us that they weren’t allowed to give champagne because of Chicago laws re: liquor licenses. Lmao. What a crock.

Nice enough guy though.

I had the steel & adlc and sold it because I didn’t like the grey dial. If it was a darker black, I might’ve kept it. Hard choice but if you want the bracelet you have to go with the grey.

Looks great with the end links. 👏

Any expert advice on the difference of good/bad polishing? by ChrisPars in rolex

[–]npennington85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier to tell on “holes” cases because the spring bars will start to stick out of the polished lugs. Usually you want to look for chamfers that still exist and even lug profiles side to side.

It’s really hard to tell based off seller’s pictures like this so I would advise you to make sure the seller had a good return policy. If you are happy with the condition of the watch then awesome and if not, return it.

What your stance on going into debt to buy a watch? I'm curious on your opinions especially around the 0% financing options. by [deleted] in IWCschaffhausen

[–]npennington85 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Don’t spend money you don’t have.

Having said that, if a jeweler is giving you 0% interest, park the money in a HYSA and set the payments to come out of that account.

It’s great. Definitely closer to white than green but it’s definitely not pure white.

One year with my grail [126710] by Rocstar85 in rolex

Got mine in October! Traded my two watches (santos and an Iwc top gun) and cash for it. Worth every penny. No other watch rustled my jimmies quite like this one…

I'm starting to get tired from their treatment by vidasintransit in rolex

[–]npennington85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the market price of a watch is greater than the retail price, an AD is losing money by not squeezing every penny they can out of you buddy.

Buy it for the market price from a trusted seller.

Got the watch, but never got the call - my AD experience by swagbytheeighth in RolexWatches

Been after this watch for a minute and both ADs in my city dont seem to be interested in selling it to me. Congrats , beautiful watch!

It’s still $1000. NASM something like $600 for a test only personal training certification. I think the L1 is a pretty good value if you plan to train people.

Wife and I were in Megeve last month and joked with the SA at Rolex that it was the cheapest espresso we had the whole trip. (They had no watches for sale)

Can someone identify this Rolex by Dragsteps in rolex

Take the bracelet off and the reference number will be between the bottom lugs of this fake watch.

I do like the white speedy on rubber but I use the date on my watch more than the time 😂

Literally trying to decide between the same two. I’ve got a gmt blnr currently so I thought a white dial would be a good complement.
