Talk me out of a 16710

If you own a modern GMT (which you do), you'll have a hard time dealing with the tinniness of the older reference.

I would consider one for $5k or so but definitely not the $8-9k they're going for currently.

After spending nearly 2 years trying to decide on a precious metal timepiece, I finally picked up a 15300OR yesterday.

Mid-search, I had written off buying another Royal Oak (I have a 15400ST) and started focusing on Rolex, deciding on the 116618LN (gold sub w/ black dial). Other watches I gave serious consideration were the WG DD40 w/ anniversary dial (green) and YG DD40 w/ silver dial.

Ultimately, as much as I want a 116618LN (which will be my next purchase), the rose gold Royal Oak has a special place in my heart for sentimental reasons and it only made sense to purchase one.

I remember being penniless around 4 years ago and watching this video below. I remember thinking it was one of the most beautiful watches I had ever seen and how I would never have the opportunity to own one. So for me, this purchase (though not the same watch in the video) means a lot more than simply buying another watch to add to the collection.



Will be ordering a rubber strap immediately as I think these watches look brilliant on rubber.

(not my pic; will post pics when it arrives)

I’d be hella nervous to wear an AP, unless I’m making 7 figures or close lol. Kudos to you all though. Beautiful watch.

Speaking of rose gold...the black and sedna Seamaster has definitely caught my attention.

flyknitlvr ... congrats on the pick up but bigger props on turning your life around.

Going from penniless to buying rose gold AP’s in 4 years is a huge success.

Threw down on an Omega Speedmaster Prof 3570.5 w/ Box x papers from 2014. Should be here later this week as I’m out of town the next couple days. That’s the quickest and happilyest I’ve ever spent $3k+. I didn’t think I had it in me, again, but daddy needed some wrist therapy. It’s been bare for too long.

Also, I binged watched a bunch of Speedy reviews on YouTube and I must say, they are all TRASH. They either say too little or too much nonsense. I want to see wrist shots in different lighting, different clothing, I want to hear exact dimensions, warranty information, etc.. a lot of these guys just aren’t informed.

lots of clickbaits out there trying to capitalize on the $$$ you can earn with clicks

like shoe reviews, its there are a few dozen trying to review shoes now while back in the day kicksology reviews were your only option then a handful of youtubers that actually do their due diligence and knows their history, now you got these youtubers going to outlets with comments like "those are base on the air max, right?" and then viewers gas 'em up so they get encouraged to do the same crappy, uninformative vids...


and yeah im mad

Nope, still haven’t upgraded my 5 year old 911. And probably won’t for sometime as I still only have 24k miles. Maybe you’re thinking of someone else?

I’ve been intrigued with Grand Seiko ever since they fully separated and made themselves a stand-alone brand. That watch will probably be 10-15k. I’m not sure if I’d ever invest that. That being said, I would like to own more timepieces on leather.

 

[rfx45]

yah it might be someone else

my bad

and i think its gon' run around $25k actually
