if you like the SMP equally as the Colt, get the Colt but if you prefer the SMP even by just a little, I say save up a bit more and get the SMP


and awesome pics ZK1

SMP should be easier to flip should you decide to let it go/fund future purchases.

Thanks.

@agentorange don't settle, just save up the extra $500-600 you need to buy the automatic SMP.

zk1mpls awesome pics man!

About to pull the trigger on either of these. My goals right now, after visiting the Rolex/Tudor AD. I need stainless steel/black face and in the $2-$3.5k region with no ETA. I did just get word that one of the AD's in town has a birth year (1985) Submariner 5513 for $5.6k and could probably be talked down. If that's the case, it's mine.

I'd take the Speedy over the North Flag. It just feels special on the wrist. But that Sub sure is tempting if you can bring down the price.

 

[typerpinoy]

I'd take a pelagos over both

 

[Trey Bantz]

Personally, I really like the Tudor Black Bay with the red bezel.

Out of those two I'd go with the Speedy Pro. Such a beautiful and iconic watch.

 

[vietster]

loved my speedy at first, then started losing interest. Sad to let it go

 

[Extrait de Minimalisme]

What did you replace it with?

 

[Trey Bantz]

Great pics vietster

Speedy Pro and a Sub no date are two pieces I need in my collection.

After I get those two, I won't buy another watch for a while lol

 

[vietster]

Replaced it with vacation lol.

Yup, great combo with the no-date 114060.

I’m really feeling these Tag Heuers, but I wish they weren’t 44mm. Price is very inexpensive.

 

[zk1mpls]

Saw this at the mall... Caved and picked it up. Lol. So much nicer than the Turtle I already have lol.

Do you guys use watch winders (the boxes)?

I want a Dr. Strange style drawer that doesn't actually wind the watches but looks fantastic

 

[zk1mpls]

Still haven't seen one in real life

I was watching that review last night (weird to see WUS do reviews) and was gon' post it but search is still broken and I'm too lazy to go through pages to look for the thread


watch is beautiful though, just wish it was more 38mm-40mm though

Same, I wish it was just a reissue like the Carrera re-edition (wish they made another run of those )

anyone know the best way to get your rolex authenticated for free?

 

[typerpinoy]

Bring it to an AD

 

[dayman]

Bring it to an AD

i read that some ADs charge $150 to authenticate. Do you think they will open the case back if i ask them to appraise the watch so I can upgrade?

If you have a authorized rolex service center near by, you can drop it off and ask them to appraise it for insurance purposes which indirectly authenticates the watch. I purchased my sub from a private party and wanted to make sure it was authentic. The process took several days as they sent the watch out for inspection. The appraisal did not cost me anything, but i am assuming it was because it was within the warranty period.

One of my favorite talking watches.

Tried these on today with a local private dealer.

Went home with the Black Bay
Still love the fit of the North Flag. And the Sub is a 1-2 year goal.

Nice pickup, I still can't get around the snowflake hands. Maybe one day.

 

[typerpinoy]
