I've sold off most of my expensive watches sans the FP Journes. I am trying hard to be an everyman like you turds, vice the baller I once was. In related news, found out I have 3 illegitimate kids and they all won their court cases for child support.
I have a couple of cool "cheaper" alternatives coming in soon. I will be sure to update the thread when they arrive.
It is smart of you to publicly state that you "sold" the nice watches to keep them away from the Gub'mint when they come calling for those payments, though.
My lawyer gave me this advice. My lawyer is HHusky, so not sure how good it is.

There are so many people who will never learn of this because it's buried in a watch thread.
Just got what I think is a pretty cool watch. Hermes H08. But wait, Hermes? I thought they made ladies handbags! Turns out in addition to being the worlds preeminent handbag maker and luxury lifestyle brand, they have started making watches. Well, they have made watches for ages, but they started taking it very seriously in the last couple years. They bought a small high end horology movement and dial maker, designed their first men's watch from scratch with in house vertical manufacture, and released it a few months ago. Sold out instantly. Crazy eh?
I never would have though I'd buy a Hermes watch, but a display case back, full in house movement, titanium deployant clasp, thin case profile, aggressive styling and 100m WR, all for less than 6 grand? Yep, I can see why it's popular.

Love how they cleverly "hid" the date.
Do you ever accidentally call your watch a Herpes? That is a massive departure from the Rolex style stuff. It's something I would say is nice looking, but outside of my wheelhouse as far as buying one.

Lulz. I thought the same thing when I first saw the watch.
If you like that vintage look, the Oris divers 65 is a pretty great value. You can get them new on secondary market around 1100-1500 dollars depending on strap.
I love mine, recently bought a sail cloth rally strap for it from gheckko watches
I'm gonna pull a Swaye and announce I'm on a wait list. Hoping 2-3 months and I can show off my pride and joy, but refuse to accept things as reality until it's on my wrist.

Sad to see another Injun succumb to the white man's colonial ways. I suppose it started with the Jeep and CLS.

Turning 40 has its perks! Got to pick up my Tudor Black Bay 58 last night from the local AD. All I'd owned prior to this were Seikos and G-Shocks, which I still love, but the Tudor is (obviously) on a whole 'nother level. Just the feel of the steel is different different, let alone the precision of the machining, polish, how the clasp operates, the action of the bezel, etc being beyond what I thought it would be. Jumping from a 3Hz to 4Hz movement is also a big difference. Sorry for the huge pictures.

A Casio!
As a dominant lefty this is my first watch designed for me and I couldn't be happier with the result.
Shout out to the Orkin man @Swaye for helping me navigate this weirdly intoxicating genre of luxury watches.
Massive, simple, and unapologetic.
