banks had some cool stuff back in the days but man you can really tell this picture is from 2004-2007.  statue of liberty and the plate with the blue stones were especially cool IMO.  have always thought that big plates were cool, pee had some cool stuff for a short time

if anyone has better pictures of these , post em.  I think maybe the HNIC album book had some better ones actually but I DOn't feel like digging it up. 

always loved those pieces . this is when p was thee guy

As relevant as Nigo is to the jewelry game. He wrote the book on it. He's known worldwide.

Long time lurker , figured Id throw up a couple shots of my current setup

- 30" 6mm Cuban by Rey in 18K , 100 Grams

- Ring is 10K , 6 Grams

Rey is the ******* man. Had it shipped all the way up here to Edmonton for 100 bones insured, whole process was extremely smooth

Ring was crafted by a little old Chinese lady who runs a small shop in the city. Diamond cuts really go off in the light

As Im only 18 right now , goal is to stack enough disposable income for a Daydate in my mid 20s

Thanks Everyone , One Love

Nice pick up, I had a similar set up at 18 my Cuban was about 150 grams and 8mm, I sold it before the Cuban link mania insued when gold was almost at 2k an Oz and made triple what I paid for it in 98

Just grabbed this Cockpit Windrider Big Date.

Grand Seiko 44GS.

Grand Seiko 44GS. 

Nice, do you own one of those?I wouldn't label them smoking though, and can't believe people pay for those hi end sieko's, steel was 5700 retail and the gold versions were like 20k. So many other brands with similar models.

 

[cabased]

No i don't own them but i think it is a beautiful watch. I love the design.

 

[goldensun]

The Grand Seiko's are awesome watches

Didn't say it isn't a quality timepiece, just that there are many other choices in that style of watch at that price. If I walked into your store with that sieko in SS for trade towards jewelry, what would you give me?

I know you feel some type of way

 

[luxurytime]

Of course I do lol, I could troll the Internet all day looking for pics to post in here, but I prefer to post stuff that's in my hands that I own wether it's premanant in my collection or up for sale/trade. It's just my opinion that a Seiko isn't someone's first choice when looking for a 6k watch, most people don't even know sieko has a watch over a few hundo.

Why can't you believe people buy them? 

 

[luxurytime]

I believe people buy them, most people familiar with sieko bought theirs at macy's next to fossil,nautica,and guess watches for under 200$, I can't think of a decent manufacture that has a 100$ watch that also makes a watch for 20k. Sieko has 3.4% of all watch sales globally.

 

[luxurytime]

Imagine how you would feel owning a gold presidential and Rolex puts out an entry level watch that looks the same just plated brass instead of solid gold with a cheaper movement for 500.00. It makes everything else appear not worth it and that's why it won't happen

Ya well there are some people who don't care about the brand as long as the quality is great. Not everyone buys watches for bragging rights.

 

[goldensun]

I would say that the Grand Seiko's are more popular in China, Japan, Korea. Are there better choices out there for the same price range? Of course. However, watch collecting isn't about what's the most popular or the coolest or how much you'll get on trade. It's about buying something that you like and can wear with pride.

 

[goldensun]

I would take that Grand Seiko in stainless steel over that Breitling Cockpit Windrider

And your Definitly not one of them, who's bragging? I want value and quality, not to mention some sort of resale value so I can actually trade for something else in the same price range

That's just the general jo-schmo. If you're a watch collector you probably know that they do. Watches are an accessory, just like shoes, hats, chains. Taste, style, price are all subjective to the person wearing/buying it.

I'm not saying you're bragging i mean some people in general. To each their own.
