nothing special for you ballers, but the sales associate i talked to last time i was at the tudor store came through for me and got me my tudor black bay 39mm gilt on bracelet today since there were none in stock besides the one in store which was on a leather strap. she was kind enough to give me a tudor leather travel case too as a free gift without me even asking. i'm guessing this is normal for a tudor purchase ?

very happy with the purchase and thanks for the info from everyone in this thread

Female thieves dubbed ‘Rolex Rippers’ target elderly men’s watches

Two women have reportedly snatched as many as 14 watches from the wrists of their wealthy victims.

Female thieves dubbed ‘Rolex Rippers’ target elderly men’s watches


Two women dubbed the ‘Rolex Rippers’ who steal expensive watches off the wrists of wealthy men are said to have struck at least 14 times.

The pair, aged in their 20s and 30s, have mostly targeted lone men in their 70s in the car parks of exclusive golf clubs or posing as charity workers who stole their victim’s watch after asking them to sign a petition.

Other times they have been less subtle and simply ripped the expensive timepieces off the wrists of men who have been left shocked and bruised afterwards.

 

[kickvicisous]

That headline had me thinking they were posing as something completely different than charity workers

1-of-40 1017 ALYX 9SM Audemars Piguet Royal Oak customized by MAD Paris has just landed on SSENSE for $81k and instantly sold out

 

[1stwitit]

I struck up a quick conversation with a patient today. I noticed his watch and I asked “is that a GMT?” He got super excited and quickly took it off of his wrist to show me. He said that he bought it back in 1969 when he was on his way back from Vietnam for $225. The watch was originally a Pepsi bezel but he had the bezel replaced. He said that it’s funny that servicing the watch costs more than the original price. It was a fun interaction. Looking closer, Rolex probably replaced the hands and all when he sent it in for service.

so rolex are now sending ADs showcase watches, technically its the watch minus the movements inside, so people actually has something to try on in-store and the cases aren’t always just full of cobwebs

hmmmm

prx with a fluted bezel

 

[Leebro]

The prx needed something extra. Seemed kinda plain even with the tapsserie dial. Hopefully you'll be able to etc dial and bezel options on a steel model.
