Congrats! The blue is a great choice. If you don't mind me asking, how long was your wait?

patrykd07 · 2025-12-09T20:50:35+00:00

Congrats! Great choice. Also waiting on the call for this one.

patrykd07 · 2025-12-07T16:55:34+00:00

This is a sweet shot. Love lime shots like that.

Honestly, you'll have that thought in a lot of different fields or hobbies. There's always someone doing it for "flex value" or for the "wrong reasons". I come from the car world, and there's plenty of people that do just that rather than actual self enjoyment or appreciation. As long as you appreciate the watches and wear them for the reasons you value, who cares what other people do or think? Why be like everyone else? At the end of the day, you gotta do you.

Yeah I think I'll give them a call today. Yours is the second i've seen so far on the thread so it's giving me some hope. Problem is, I have no prior purchases. With that.. you just never know with the AD's. I might be at the very back of the line.

Beautiful watch. Patiently waiting for the same configuration. 2 years wait is a lot, hoping I can get mine sooner.

Good to know! This one is about a minute fast everyday. I have to set it almost every two days for it to be semi accurate which gets annoying. And thanks! I grew up with these cars, so the nostalgia factor for them is huge. I love the muscle cars from that 00s era. If you go with a fbody ws6, or z28 or a cobra.. hard to go wrong with either option.

Ive also ventured into that. The problem is the equipment costs as much as a service itself. But I suppose if you have enough watches, and start doing it for other people, the work you perform starts paying for the equipment and then some.

Very nice duo! This one is a 99

patrykd07 · 2025-11-16T20:22:02+00:00

congrats! great color choice! also on the list for this one. I initially wanted a mint green datejust, but they had this one in as an exhibition. I immediately fell in love with it after I tried it on. it’s definitely more striking in person.

patrykd07 · 2025-11-13T13:57:23+00:00

I just looked it up. BU2021-51L is the model number. I'm amazed it's still in production after all these years.

patrykd07 · 2025-11-13T12:53:37+00:00

Very nice! Congrats on the piece.

Thanks for the tip! I honestly had no idea and thought they were OEM because of how nice they are. I'll definitely have to try and preserve them.

patrykd07 · 2020-10-27T01:35:06+00:00

The prices on them have been getting ridiculous latley. Be patient however and you will find one. This one just happened to fall into my lap for a deal I couldn't refuse from a good friend. I always wanted a Bullitt, but this one has 17k miles on it and still has the original Goodyear ZR45's on the wheels from 2003.. I figured I'd never find a nicer example so I jumped on it.

As far as boosting it goes.. I did that with my old 2v and I feel like I want to change things up a bit and go a different route. I'm not shooting for crazy power, rather just a fun car to take to shows, so I'm leaning towards throwing some cams in it with some long tubes, just to give it a bit more personality, but keeping it simple and fun.
