    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.

                                          @JDelage actually was late 2021 but, after one follow-up in early 2022, I sort of forgot about it and moved on. So when the AD emailed and asked if I was still interested maybe a month ago, I said sure, and then about a week later was told they had one reserved for me.

                                          Moral of the story is apparently to not care too deeply and then maybe it will show up. 😂
