    @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?

      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?

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

        Think it, be it.

          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.

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

            Think it, be it.

              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 😀

                                    Asked after this a while back and received an unexpected call two weeks ago. Hasn’t left my wrist since.

                                        How long did it take? I put my name down for it too. Best "true" GMT to be had, IMHO, with other Rolex also very good.
