Easy to get?? These will sell out in 5 minutes

How do you like it? Not sure I love the jubilee on a watch like that but it is still a winner for me at least in photos.

It does nothing for me emotionally but I’m wearing it today to see if it grows on me.
He ordered the uncle seiko half link for the stock bracelet to get it to fit right and says it worked well but that this is also way more comfortable. I agree it’s very comfortable.

After a day, it did not grow on me. It's fine; comfortable, legible, but I don't feel anything special towards it. My bro has several random small brand watches, and my feelings toward this BB58 are about the same as I do any of the Nereus divers he has.
In contrast, when I wear my blue Seamaster or the Speedy, I am excited every single time I look at it.

I think he might have been joking.

It looks really fun, hope they actually make it.

I thought he was commenting on it being so goddamned ugly

Batter my heart, five-point'd God, for you
As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend;
That I may rise and stand, o'erthrow me, and bend
Your force to break, blow, burn, and make me new.
I, like an usurp'd town to another due,
Labor to admit you, but oh, to no end;
Reason, your viceroy in me, me should defend,
But is captiv'd, and proves weak or untrue.
Yet dearly I love you, and would be lov'd fain,
But am betroth'd unto your enemy;
Divorce me, untie or break that knot again,
Take me to you, imprison me, for I,
Except you enthrall me, never shall be free,
Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.

LOL. am55 would never make such a blunder. He’d post the same article in French and the thread would think it’s poetry. Now Clouseau is a bigot for posting something the Richemont trash on this thread can read. Clouseau, お疲れ様でした！

I have a sin of fear, that when I have spun
My last thread, I shall perish on the shore;
But swear by thy self, that at my death thy son
Shall shine as he shines now, and heretofore;
And, having done that, thou hast done,
I fear no more.

You could be totally right. One of us is misinterpreting his humor. I can't tell if that's a sign of good or bad comedy .

The joke or lack there of is adding to difficulty of mere mortals acquiring a Rolex.
