Some watch shots

That Yachtmaster is way better looking than any Rolex Sub, IMO. Sweet watch.

I paid a visit to Ben Bridge at Southcenter the other day to see what they had. Was hoping to stumble upon a Tudor Black Bay Chronograph but obviously no such luck. Asked about Rolex and got a quick "we don't have any in stock" so I didn't bother to push that any further. Tried on the Black Bay 58 925 (silver) and it's pretty nice, much more of a tool watch look versus my OG BB 58. Left empty-handed and am hoping to land the new Seiko 5 GMT when it releases this month.

Wait a year or so. There will almost assuredly be some Rolex back in the cases. The watch market is in free fall.BleachedAnusDawg said:I paid a visit to Ben Bridge at Southcenter the other day to see what they had.

Some of you timepiece-loving bastards better have one of these on your dresser.
That's right @YellowSnow, I'm talking to you, Chairman.
Saw one of these at Costco not long ago, and durn near ponied up right on the spot. But my wife needed new tires that day, so I hesitated & now they're gone.
But who doesn't want to look bitchin' stylish in one of these while they're wackin' a guy for not paying his debts? -
I have definitely sexted @Swaye costco watch pics live while out shopping for the comedy.TurdBomber said:Some of you timepiece-loving bastards better have one of these on your dresser.

Needed a new band on my Doog Watch (I do claim I have the doogiest watch) the original leather band broke. The other thing I wanted was a picture of someone's wrist without it being pasty white. Go back to the OPs original post and comments were how white the wrist was - albeit sexy - (I think that was @Doog_de_Jour)
and a close up of the new band with the 'safety' clip that stops the band from accidentally opening up and falling off your wrist. Now when I catch my watch on an object it will rip my entire wrist and hand off. The watch will be saved so it is OK - the little black thingie extending out is the lock clip. I did notice on a previous picture of someone's pasty white wrist that it seems expensive watches already have that - not my cheapos

Officially a rose gold two-tone whore.
Omega SMP300 and Rolex CHNR(Root beer)
Truthfully, I've debated liquidating the entire collection in fear of the world burning, but can't seem to get myself to do it. I sexted Swaye and Baze I'm out the game only to get sucked back in. -

Got my SMP 300 M back from a the shop. Was always curious what the Omega ass gaskets looked like. So there's 2 big ones and 3 little guys. New helium valve for all the deep water snorkeling I may or may not do in Australia or Bora Bora in the coming years.

I liked the SMP300 so much I got another but green dial and bezel(Omega's version of the hulk)
The traditional bracelet for this watch doesn't taper and is a little outdated imo so I went mad scientist and replaced it with the OEM 50th anniversary flat link. I had to use aftermarket end links to allow the fitment to the case, but I think it looks stunning this way. It has a 20-16mm taper which makes it sleaker,. Lighter, and overall more comfortable to me. -
For reference here is the Traditional bracelet. It's not bad, I just wanted something different. Purists hate it, but I don't really care.

Let Omega be Omega. -
Looks better without the old man bracelet. Sorry, Yella.

Short answer: yes. At the rate it is imploding you will have subs in cases at retail in the next year I'd guess. Daytonas will stay hard to get, but I bet even Pepsis will be in cases in 2-3 years. The party is over. Nobody is buying. Everyone is selling but trying to hold artificially high prices so they don't completely go underwater on stock. It's a mess if you were buying at peak levels.YellowSnow said: -

You can already walk in and buy the JV luxury of your choosing. Big boy brands are next in the coming 12 months. Actually, when I was in Chicago this past August I stopped in the big boutique on the Magnificent Mile and they had some Rolex in cases and available. Not the GMT, Daytona type stuff, but 2 years ago there was nothing at any AD's. -
I was at a very large AD in Newport Beach / Fashion Island this summer where we had bought a Rolex Date Just for Mrs. Snow a few years back . They had plenty of JV Tudor inventory and Omegas. And a few Rolex tool watches (for display only) in the cases.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Being that only Mrs Snow gets nice things, I didn't get a new Tudor or Omega. Instead I got to get my 28 year old Seamaster PRO serviced. -
This is a bit out of date @BleachedAnusDawg but the article posits that crypto speculator douche bags were driving up prices too.BleachedAnusDawg said:

The Jacob & Co. stuff is heinous, IMO. Also the blinged out stuff, even if it's factory like that Rolex Tiger. Who am I to smack talk a guy who has millions in watches, though?pawz said: -
This thread needs more Cartier.
Tank Louis Cartier and Tank Must - the anthracite grey with the rose gold is nails
Ballon Bleu de Cartier - usually I’m not a big fan of the diamonds on the dial face, but this is really pretty
A @Doogles favorite, the Santos - I dig the BAMA color-way

Good thread bump.
I'm back to slumming it looking at Seikos and microbrands. Currently looking for a wannabe Daytona, as well as some kind of GMT now that Seiko has released a cheap "office GMT" movement.
I keep coming back to this since it's solar and would be cheap to own and no maintenance.
GMT-wise, I'd like some kind of wannabe Rolex Coke, because everyone knows Coke > Pepsi, and stick it on a jubilee bracelet. But this Lorier Hyperion gets a lot of good marks from the watch nerds (although no sapphire crystal at $800 is lame).

The Bama Santos is the santos-dumont. A little dressier than mine. Beautiful all around.
It's been awhile so maybe already posted, but I used to have the green tank must and still have a dinky vintage gold plated must from way back.

Never be ashamed to speak of Seikos around me. I know I’ve posted several Grand Seikos in this thread. I also dig the Presages for something dressy.BleachedAnusDawg said:Good thread bump.

I don’t know if you’re into divers, but I guess they make a Pepsi version of the “Arnie”:
