Watches - another OCD problem

@Vintagedenim Nice 126715 CHNR. Did you have to wait long?

[Vintagedenim]

@goosehd thank you. Three years. But we’ll worth it in the end.

[Anesthetist]

@Graeme I didn't buy it from the boutique but did put in an order through an out of state AD to save a little money and skip the taxes.

[Graeme]

@Anesthetist glad to hear you're getting one. Taxes were one of the reasons I didn't snap up the CK 859 a few weeks ago.

@Madame-Buttonfly 's 20+ year old Cartier Tank sporting a new grey watersnake strap beautifully made by @Scasi .

Thank you Johnny.

What @Graeme said

[Autorotate]

@Giles look at that patina! Please never have that polished out. Looks way more vintage than 20 years. Nothing I love more than a well-worn luxury watch. Bravo to the strap maker and @Madame-Buttonfly for a perfect strap and timepiece!!

May I ask what size that is?

[Giles]

We dont polish out and we dont fuck around with dials. I had an issue with my 50 fathoms, I sent it to Blancpain with explicit instructions to fix the mechanical issue but to touch NOTHING else.

How do I measure a tank?

[mclaincausey]

Y’all see Rolex bought Bucherer? Wonder if they’re going to change their distribution up a bit.

[Graeme]

I saw that earlier. It seems an odd move for Rolex to buy a multi-brand retailer, and I wonder how it's going to play out long term.

[mclaincausey]

It would be interesting to see a shift from ADs to direct to consumer sales in the coming years.

[JDelage]

Yes, maybe they're getting tired of the AD's shenanigans. I wouldn't mind a more transparent set up tbh.

[Anesthetist]

@mclaincausey I hope not, I enjoy the experience of buying a watch in person. I especially like it if I can haggle out a deal

[JDelage]

Ton new H. Moser, with Vantablack dials.... Those are lovely.
