NYC Watchtime event

I unfortunately saw way too many stunning pieces at that event. Not getting me any closer to making a decision on my next purchase 😆

Honestly go for it.This is a beautiful watch. I had sent pictures of it to a good friend who's also obsessed with watches. He was wondering why I was even looking into it.And then he came to the dealer with me and when he saw it in person he was super surprised. He was like "wow great find..".It's a beautiful, high horology, timeless watch.And the price is very very good for what you get.

Thank you!

Honestly I am in love with this watch.

I even discovered a design aspect I had not noticed before the purchase: the numerals light up depending on the angle of the light. Same with the star and the dial but those I had noticed and that was what I loved about the watch.

It has a depth of beauty which nobody would guess just based on pictures.

Really stunning.

I'd keep the explorer 2 and the sub.

I love the modern pepsis but this older version personally I am not a fan.

You were right, it's even better with a $10 strap! Lol!

Unless the AD really likes you and your story for whatever reason (which does happen) then it's all about how much money they think they'll be able to make from you to justify giving it to you vs someone else who has spent thousands of dollars with them and wants it just as much as you do.

It would be unfair otherwise.

Based on this, you are far better off buying it on the secondary market at a premium.

That will cost you way less money than the money you'd have to spend at the dealer to be considered for this watch.

Which pilot watch to get at same price?

Guys, I am a bit torn. I like those 2 models a lot. I can get the zenith for same price as the Iwc. The iwc doesn't have an in-house movement but I find the look very cool. The zenith has a beautiful...

What do you think of those Omega Planet oceans?

I will be honest I prefer the one with white dial and orange bezel. Then split between limited edition and regular white one (those are 39.5mm). The b...

Is there a risk of a watch on jomashop not being authentic or having parts that were replaced that are not from the watch's brand?

I'm considering buying a JLC Chrono on Jomashop. The price difference is material. I don't think the manufacturer warranty means much to me but I would not want to buy a fake watch or a watch that has...

Should I buy this JLC on the grey market?

Hi everyone, I love this watch but at $14k retail it's just way too high for a watch that resells around 9k used. I could maybe get at 12.6k at an AD....
