The Watch Appreciation Thread (Reviews and Photos of Men's Timepieces by Rolex, Patek Philippe, Brei

[WSW]



Ack. So I'm considering a Rolex 31mm Lady's Datejust, RG/steel oyster bracelet, RG bezel, as a gift for my wife. Can anyone give me an idea of what sort of discount I might be able to expect from an AD? Please feel free to PM me directly. Any suggestions for an AD on the East Coast?

I ordered a 31 mm Steel Datejust with the WG Bezel and Oyster Bracelet for my wife last year and received a 15% discount. The AD was in Philadelphia if that helps. You can PM me for further details.

Good morning, gents. My latest, and proudest, acquisition...

Hot dog, hot dog, hot diggity dog!

Congrats mate, love that!

I've been lurking here the past few weeks while trying to figure out what I want for a new watch, so thanks to everyone for the great pictures and commentary. Currently leaning towards a Stowa Marine, but went into an Oris AD and really liked the Aquis. My concern is that I'm in a suit 2-3 days a week and the Aquis seems too big to wear with a suit.

Woh - missed this one earlier - great choice and well done!

Edit - on closer inspection - you might want to do that crown up!

Thanks Dachs I was just setting the time, and hadn't *********** crown back in when I took the photo.

Congratulations! Ain't she a beauty???

Thanks Frilly! If I had to pick a one-watch...I think this could be it.

Very nice!  I didn't know you were looking to add a Sub to your rotation.  Great choice, enjoy it my friend! 

Thanks Dino. I've been tooing and froing between this Sub and the Explorer. Eventually the Sub spoke to me most. It was a bit too extravagant a purchase for me, but I thought "Life is too short, just go for it." So I did

I think the updated 1957 is really really nice. Too bad it's still just a little too thick!

So hard to get a good photo without glare. This is the best I could do.

Not sure it looks too big, but I don't love it with a suit. But if it makes you smile and fits the 4 to 5 days of the week you don't wear a suit then go for it.

Life is short so its important to splurge every now and then! You made a great choice wear it in good health and I hope it gives you many years of enjoyment! Looks great on you!

The top one looked way to large. I liked this one the most on you. The RG with brown is beautiful...Snoopy for one daughter, this one for your second daughter

Thanks Dino. Of course, I may never spend big on anything else again after this (good thing the wife got a Rolex before I did, though, or I may be heading for the divorce courts lol))...but I think this watch was worth it.

+1. Is it 44mm?

I think its 41.5 or 42mm. Friend had the blue dial for a while and I wore it for a couple days. The thickness is better balanced out on the 44mm DSOTM but on the 1957 its too noticeable.
