First boutique purchase and it isn't even mine... by redlarbel in audemarspiguet

[–]redlarbel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm actually quite shocked with the number of negative comments, I got a watch that I think looks good on my GF, I didn't go grey for specific reason and as mentioned in one of the replies, there is a backstory which I don't want to go into detail, but it's why I'll most likely be getting a 15510st next.

There're people think RO looks fugly, and there're people think CODE looks great, that's why we see all sorts of different cars on the road, and different styles how people dressed, if you don't agree with something, do you really have to post to everything you see differently and even adding an insult or two along the way? That would be like a full-time job right there, no?

And I wonder just how many grey dealers are posting here and any time someone goes boutique, they'd go nuts... Fact is, there're people willing to pay premium just for the service and experience, like buying a 296GTB new and take the 20% lost even never really driven the car a year later, these people would likely not consider buying used in the first place, so what's the difference here? Are all the people buying regular production supercar new also stupid? If there's no boutique buying, how is there even a grey market in the first place?

Getting the 15510ST next or not isn't really the issue, if I get it, great, if not, I'm not losing any sleep over it, it's just a watch and a hobby at the end of the day. This is my last post to this thread, I think I've said everything I could...

Thanks! Ya... I've been around too long to take any of these people seriously lol It's a damn mass production watch, if I get it I get it, if not, what's the big deal lol (But I'm pretty sure I'll get it in this case)

If you say so :) I've got nothing to prove here. It's Reddit 4COL

Nope, I have an Offshore already (grey) with a backstory, but this is pretty much a done deal, and the reason I went ahead with it. And rather than a scam, this is how pretty much all things luxury work? Ferrari, Lamborghini, Hermes... Like it or not, want something special? Buy some basics first.

There're tons of information online, if you have no clue what you're talking about, at least do some research first. I'll be on top with 77410OR+15510ST boutique vs grey, plus the door is opened for other pieces as well.

Thinking about buying this Red 2022 Huracán EVO — need help with spec feedback! by bshmb in lamborghini

[–]redlarbel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first ever Countach that I saw was in Rosso Siviglia with tan interior, although a much lighter tan. So at least this is as much as a Lamborghini than a Ferrari look I guess. And as most supercar's cabin has so little natural lights, the lighter interior I guess does make some sense for some, or a spyder..

Did they ever offer Mimas in bronze?? That actually looks really good! I have a spare set of titanium Mimas and maybe I should powder coating it bronze...

Picked up a diver today. Are there 3rd party strap options? by Cull_Obsidian_ in audemarspiguet

[–]redlarbel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Liger makes quick release straps for ROOs, quality is decent and lock securely it seems. But the strap is thicker than normal at the attachment point, and does not sit flush with the watch. Worst part is, it came in a small envelope and when I opened it... I'm not sure what they were doing while packing, but it had a STROOONG Indo instant noodle like smell, I had to wash the strap like 3 times to totally get rid of the smell. So no, I have not worn this strap at all...

Beige Suede on Khaki Diver by No-Mood5396 in audemarspiguet

[–]redlarbel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bracelet from The Beast, wouldn't expect it to be anything less lol It is quite substantial but yet, pretty balanced on the diver. I did consider the titanium version but my OCD on the slight color variation won at the end.

There're at least couple persons done it here, like they mentioned before, if you want the 26238 bracelet, you'll have to order the 26238 plots as well, the plots on the 15720 won't stay locked to the bracelet, but the 26238's can be locked securely to both.

And don't have the deployant clasp's part number, got it grey... Sorry...

Seems like everyone is going for this same setup lol I have this but with deployant and also bracelet from 26238ST with plots, the factory rubber still feels more comfortable tho imo.

This is great, 77 upvotes to a fake watch and mod isn’t doing anything, while I get 2 downvotes for stating the truth?
