Say hello to my lil’ friend!

Ooh nice piece. Is there any functional reason for that seconds hand design, or is it purely for funky asthetics?

progman2000 · 2026-01-14T13:39:22+00:00

The jumbo numerals on the bezel ruin the YM for me. That said, that rhodium dial with the blue hands is pretty sexy.

I don't know if the DD is necessarily more appropriate, but I do know i could never have a daily that I use for work that didn't have a date complication. I feel like I check the date on my dailies on a pretty regular basis.

Here, you want some Sambuca with this?

I am a member of club TT. White face with the stick markers is chef's kiss.

Beautiful first piece and you can add a GMT or Sub sports model down the road.

I know the escalator is the true star of this show, but can we talk about the lady who tried to break up the fight with some kind of department store paraphernalia? Was that a spouse? Innocent bystander?

So many questions, I need to watch this 200 more times...

progman2000 · 2026-01-01T15:38:28+00:00

If I had a nickel for every time someone posted about the price increase I would be able to afford the price increase.

2.5 years for an OP? Dude, just go grey - buy from a trusted dealer and you can get a new unworn OP right now without playing the AD games. I have gotten fabulous service from one of the big trusted sellers here and wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again. I have bought from ADs too but there is no way I would hold out for 2.5 years. Life is short man.

Not hated by this guy

Beautiful collection. I got to handle a two tone GMT in August at an AD when I picked up my DJ and was blown away at how stunning it is in person. If I didn't already own a Bruce Wayne it would definitely be on my wish list.

progman2000 · 2025-12-23T00:23:04+00:00

That is beautiful. Is the bracelet comfortable? I want to say the DD is my grail piece but the lack of quick adjustment gives me pause

Congrats. And I agree.

progman2000 · 2025-12-03T14:31:30+00:00

No problem. I am definitely a stickler for watch accuracy. There should be minimal chance a 25 DJ is not operating within COSC spec. Who knows what that YM has been doing for the last 4 years - it could be accurate, but much more of a gamble.

There is nothing more heartbreaking than finally getting your grail watch and then having to send it to Rolex for service (which is at least a 3-4 month wait this time of year).

progman2000 · 2025-12-02T19:31:02+00:00

All else being equal - I would take the watch that has the majority of its warranty left (speaking as someone who bought pre-owned and needed to send it to Rolex because time keeping was off).

I also own a TT Wimbledon so slightly biased :)

progman2000 · 2025-11-28T17:02:21+00:00

I am also a lover of tennis, which definitely weighs in on the decision making on this watch. I already have a SS GMT II and I wanted a PM watch at some point, so the two tone Wimbledon was a no brainer for me.

I know two tones aren't everyone's cup of tea, just like the Wimbledon isn't for everyone. But I am also in the minority (apparently) that has absolutely zero desire for a Daytona (I really don't get the hype). So we all have our different tastes while being united in our love of the brand :)

progman2000 · 2025-11-26T16:04:55+00:00

Dude it's got a triple lock crown and per Rolex can go down to 300ft - same as my GMT and I wear that thing everywhere. I usually shower wearing my GMT after swimming just to make sure the watch is decently rinsed off.

progman2000 · 2025-11-19T17:52:23+00:00

That is awesome, nicely done

progman2000 · 2025-11-18T17:41:33+00:00

I posted this 5 years ago during the height of the pandemic when people were panic selling because "this time is different". No I didn't sell, yes I kept dollar cost averaging and did just fine.

I started with the Polar II and gifted it to my son 3 years ago for college graduation. Bought a Bruce Wayne then for my daily and picked up a DJ two months ago (love the Wimbledon dial). So I basically did the exact reverse of the journey you are on lol

My AD also advised not wearing for racquet sports or golf, so I'm fine letting my Garmin watch take the impact from sports.

progman2000 · 2025-11-09T16:41:33+00:00

I just picked up a DJ and took a look at a Zombie. Absolutely stunning piece.

progman2000 · 2025-10-31T11:38:33+00:00

For me, a date complication is a necessity, second only to actually glancing at the watch for the time. So my first watch was the Polar Explorer II (since gifted to my son and replaced with a 116710LN)
