I'll take the blue one.
Out of all the forums I have been a member of due to various purchases of depreciating assets I must agree this site might be for me at least . The most non political / thoughtful and helpful community on the internet. You all should be quite proud for making this forum what it is.
Since they are now obsolete, you better box them up and send them my way. I’ll make sure they get used.
I can’t recall ever taking all the watches out for a picture before. Seeing them in aggregate makes me feel sorta stupid. Lots of evidence of impulse-purchasing. I’m attached to a few of them, which is kinda stupid in itself. That money could have been better spent. All but three of these watches were less than $800, and most were less than $350. Still, if my wife saw this I’d never be able to tease her about shoes again.
That’s ridiculous, of course, but it’s the inevitable result of having a useful piece of equipment turn into a popular yuppie status symbol. In the 70s I saw this watch on divers and the occasional sailor/sportsman, and nobody else. Today, everybody and their dog is wearing them, whether they can swim or not. It’s like all the people driving jeeps that have literally never been put in four-wheel-drive. The world sure has changed a lot. I don’t get it.
The Submariner must be the most copied watch of all time. Even the appearance of the band is mimicked everywhere.
Way back when, I looked at the sea dweller. I thought it was very cool (and still do), but there was no scenario where I could imagine it’s trademark feature being useful. In the 70s and early 80s I had my submariner over 100’ deep hundreds of times, over 150’ several dozen times, and over 200’ once. The 205’ dive was still only two thirds of its depth rating, so the Sub was more than I’d ever need. The bubble made it easy to read the date. If memory serves, the Sea Dweller was also about $50 more. That was a bridge too far for a kid that was already stretching hard, so my choice to buy the sub was easy.
Ouch! Now I feel better about my habit.
My grandfather’s watch I traded toward my first Rolex was a Patek. I’m STILL not old enough to wear that watch.
The Rolex Oysters are incredibly durable watches. Maybe not as durable as the G-shock, and definitely not as accurate as anything with a quartz movement, but otherwise pretty much bulletproof.
I called dibs on the blue one
Aside from our one resident Delta Bravo, who seems to live for proving he is right and dragging others down, this is a good group. And as you say, so helpful. Whatever you want to do to you truck, a fellow member has most certainly already posted on it.
Holy moly the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda-Automatic Steel Platinum Sand Grey. You have an unbelievable collection my friend! Happy Easter to you as well (maintaining those watches must be eggshausting
).
Wow! I had no idea watches approached the $100,000 mark these days.
And that's just getting started! This particular Parmigiani is about $26k.Wow! I had no idea watches approached the $100,000 mark these days.
I really AM a pheasant!
!This one is called the Minute Rattrapante. The mechanism is really a first of its kind. I bought it a year ago when it launched, and have worn it more than any other. I really love it.Holy moly the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda-Automatic Steel Platinum Sand Grey. You have an unbelievable collection my friend!

Yes! I'll take this one over a Rolex any day. Clean, subtle and super classy. Congrats my friend!
