Watches - another OCD problem

^ great watch, but what's the deal with the bottle of Corona stuck in the glass?

Pinion chrono with vintage 7734 movement in. This is a one off watch with a very high finish to the bridges.
And my 634s 14oz jeans as well.

went into the rolex store today to ask about a GMT Master 2 (and just try one on). The wait time for all models? 12 months! And they get 1 in stock each month. The first person to pay gets it. They give you 10 minutes from time of call to pay before calling the next in line. Ruthless!

More like ridiculous! I had a twotone and flipped it. Nice watch but nothing special, especially for that kind of commotion.

I don't get it either.

Rolex produce on the order of a million watches a year. So why are some pieces so unobtainable?

Maybe it's a sign to try another brand?

Some of mine (not as expensive as some)

Tourbillion by Artya. This was one of the first if not the first tourbillion that he made. Lots of fun to wear as it has this scruffy steam punk look about it. Watches for me are about getting fun out of wearing them.

@Tempvs I'm surprised that @Giles hasn't stolen that Fifty Fathoms off you yet.

Nice collection, as usual.

The bastard has never left it on its own when I am anywhere close….

I've put it down to controlled releases to stop a flood on the market. There's likely tons of stock. Every airport I've been to recently has had 1 on display ready to go. Another local authorized dealer thinks he can have 1 in sydney in 2 weeks. Maybe it's just marketing after all
