The Timepiece Thread vol: READ THE 1st POST!!!

[wear rare airs]

I just purchased an AP 41mm Royal Oak with ice blue dial and baguette markers, white gold.

I can't find anything on the internet about it, and was wondering if anyone here might know more about the watch? I can't believe there's no info anywhere or any of the IG accounts I follow. AD suggested my piece is the first in the world, and the watch is engraved limited out of 100 pieces. But even more rare stuff like the 1/25 pieces are all on the website--even the newest releases. Cant understand why this one is non-existent anywhere. Don’t think I’ve ever even seen another AP with baguette indices.

I want to post a photo but waiting for AP to get back to me if it’s okay or not.

You might be able to squeeze a used Tudor BB those have been dropping like crazy.

Hamilton or Seiko works too.

Lemme get a Tudor Bb for a g

I finally picked up a Moonswatch (Mercury) at retail. I’m going to swap out the strap.

Nah it’s just a standard RO41 but ice blue dial and baguette markers in white gold.

Finally found this one post. Sadly no other info. I might be the only person out there with this thing.

I didn't need another beater watch but CREAM

Decided to try out one of the new delugs cts rubber straps and throw it on my old IWC. The clasp on this thing is something else.

few watches i checked out, if you need reference on how they fit on a 6.5” wrist then it might help


surprisingly, i like the new cartier but close to $5k for the smaller in quartz but i dig it

love this piaget polo in 36mm, much better fit than the bigger version but theyre still hang up that smaller means womens so its only available with diamond on the index

this 36mm iwc portofino chrono also looks great, also comes in green and glad to see a chrono that doesnt have a date

breitlings really delivering great watches and the im a fan of the new superocean and great theyre offered in 36mm, like that tiffany dial, too bad they put a mediocre movement in there for the price

the bigger bronze with green dials cool too, inly in bigger sizes though

tudor bb58 in gold is cool for the price but im iffy on the green dial/bezel combo with it

black bay 36 is a great explorer 36 alternative and its surprisingly moving real well, no bracelet or the silver and blue dial available

I haven’t worn a watch in over 15 years, but I’m thinking about buying myself a Rolex for my 40th this year (I’m washed up lol). I had no idea buying a Rolex was like buying a Ferrari smh.



That’s what I want, but having a hard time with the $8k-$10k markup.

Better than expected tbh

Prices should be In the teens

But could get your name on a list and you just might get lucky

Just picked up a Moonswatch earth. Any recommendations for replacement bands?

tbh, jumping out there for a GMT after not wearing a watch for 15 years may not be a good idea. if you have the means, go for it. but if you're not really into watches, you may regret the purchase. at least with Rolex, you have a good chance of making a profit or at least breaking even if you decide to sell.

My starting budget was $20k but for a GMT I’m shooting for closer to mid teens.

That’s what I thought but I got a lot of mixed up info. From waiting years to having to establish a relationship by buying other crap.

 

[Beruseruku Desu]

getting batgirl with no purchase history is 1 in a million.

youre not getting any younger. if you can afford to go grey, buy the watch from a credible seller and enjoy it.

I went grey for my sub and never looked back.

You can 1000% get one in the teens. Even a brand new one from a reputable seller. Don’t look at online large retailers those are mostly overpriced.

This is a dealer group on Facebook. I’d suggest you join for grey market.

I've bought a handful of pieces from OC Watch Guy and always found his prices to be very reasonable (compared to Moda). Case in point: https://www.ocwatchguy.com/watch/rolex-gmt-master-ii-126710blnr/8711

He's solid. But I found his watches about $400-1000 more than what I see at Moda. It's the profit these guys look for in these flips

A brand new Batgirl just ended at auction for 17.5 on Moda.

Batgirls are like the #1 sold watch on Moda
