The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

[rodgers12]

Doesn't matter what platform you try to sell it on if you represent an Omega Seamaster as a Rolex.

What are you talking about? I was simply posting the watch that I had on...

I have a sneaking admiration for the Milgaus even though they’re not that popular. Not sure where it would fit in my rotation so not sure it would get out of the drawer too often. What are you asking for it?

I actually love it, but it’s top heavy and therefore an annoying wear. And at around 13mm it’s a bit high on the wrist.
But.... love it

The seconds hand is really cool.

They're already maxed-out on production capacity, and they've increased the proportion of output that goes toward the higher-demand sports models.

Seriously, what more do you want?

Just commenting based on the thread so far. The last time I shopped for a Rolex was in 2000. Seems like more than a little gaming going on with them. Maybe not, IDK.

That’s a different watch from what you posted before - which one are you selling?

I’m not selling. Different person. Just throwing my - caveat emptor - thoughts in.

Seriously, I still want a white dial Daytona, a BLNR, a steel BLRO, a no date Sub and a Hulk.

Oh, I see. Nothing random about that.

Is this dial specific to Asia? I haven't seen it in any JLC stores in Europe.

Oh, yesterday, I closed out an old, dormant, account, and this is the second old account I've closed out this month. Not a huge amount of money, but not trivial either. Either way, money that was dormant and not in the budget whatsoever

I gave the cashiers check to my wife:
Me: "Rolex? There is a vintage Datejust I want. Black dial, engine turned bezel, not a bad price either."
Wife: "No. Didn't you just get one?"
M: "No, that was a vintage gold plated Omega chronograph with a patina'd silver dial, and it needs to go to service anyway." (incidentally, going off today)
W: "Oh, I see. Still no."

That dial is not specific to Asia. It was released earlier this year at SIHH.

Yes, my Dad was a big fan of buy it first and explain it later. Better luck next time!

Omega 2846 with the 501 movement. Beautiful black gilt dial.
