What @Graeme said

@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.

@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.

[Graeme]

@Manticore that Ploprof is awesome.

Blancpain 50 Fathoms 70th Anniversary model in 9k "bronze gold" is pretty sweet...

[Giles]

I'd fuck that in a nano-second.....

[DeeDee85]

@Giles fingers crossed they make a non limited edition version in steel? Been waiting for a 40mm ish no date fifty fathoms for years.. missed out on the Hodinkee version unfortunately

[Andymac]

Yes! And the rabbit hole goes very deep lol
