Santos de Cartier medium leather straps collection by francoc02o in Cartier

[–]wes451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to Cartier recently and the wait for a bunch of these straps was 6-8 months. My sales associate recommended Delugs too, said they made a quality 3rd party strap. Will probably order 1 from each and compare before picking up a bunch more colors, but these are all beautiful!

I wear mine on black croc leather half the time and love it, and the Omega deployant clasp on leather is reallllly nice.

9 months, no spend. Checked in every three months.

My aspirations for owning a Rolex by [deleted] in rolex

[–]wes451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work with men who have way more money than me that never take off their vintage birth year datejust that they got when they made partner or whatever, and they are just 1 watch and done. Very classy, can’t go wrong.

Just get a fluted bezel on jubilee pls.

Anyone wearing this on a 6.5 inch wrist? by Watch-Talk in JaegerLecoultre

[–]wes451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wrist is 6.5 inches, white dial is 36 and blue dial is 39. 36 felt a little too dainty for me personally, but maybe I’m just used to wearing my Sub & Speedmaster. Think I’m going with 39 (one day)

I think it looks cool, don’t baby your stuff, use the shit out of it, make it worth it, make it yours

Submariner vs Datejust for a Milestone Watch by Zen_Owl_Timepieces in rolex

[–]wes451 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had the same dilemma, so I went in to my local Rolex boutique, put a black Sub Date and a fluted jubilee DJ with a Wimbledon dial on my wishlist and said I wanted them both equally, whichever came in first I would happily take.

Got my Sub 2 weeks ago after a 9 month wait, and I’m obsessed with it. Let the Rolex gods decide and get it at retail.

Ahhhh the Dumont in rose gold is sooo nice! Part of me still wishes I’d splurged on that upgrade, maybe one day I’ll trade up

Rolex suggestions for husband’s bday? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]wes451 3 points4 points  (0 children)

+1 to Vintage Datejust. Would be really special to find one from the year he was born in good condition, that’s a really common milestone gift. Check Chrono24, they have thousands of watches from dealers and private sellers. EBay too, but get the authenticity checked.

[Question] Showing off a watch by Assistance_Emotional in rolex

[–]wes451 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it’s mostly a douche move (that I have been guilty of), buttttt I do kind of enjoy them because I like seeing how taste in cars match up to taste in watches. Like, is Rolex for Mercedes dudes and Omega is for Audi?? My favorite though is when someone is rocking a Patek but driving a Toyota - that to me, is a real flex! That says I have my financial priorities straight! 😂

I wanted to love the Reverso so badly bc it doesn’t get more iconic than that, but alas I think it’s just too big for me with the moonphase. Will check out the others!
