Watches - another OCD problem

I see more Hulks at ADs than no date Subs

[JDelage]

ADs?

I asked that question because I went into the main Rolex shop in Paris last week and they told me that they're never able to keep them in inventory, that they sell as soon as they receive them. It's completely possible they were eff'ing with me of course.

[DougNg]

Authorized Dealer.

Maybe they're more popular in Paris. In the States, I routinely see a Hulk in the display.

I just found this business card:

Gina Pan Kirst
Sales Associate
Rolex Hyde Park Boutique
gpan.rolex@hpjewels.com

The last couple times I walked in there they have had green subs (I'm in there at least once a year). They're stateside though.

[JDelage]

I'll see when I'm back in the states. Thank you!

Granted it isnt a watch, but finding the right alarm clock has been an obsession of mine since our old one bit the dust. I've been using my Casio waveceptor but it is battery powered (which I dont trust), doesnt illuminate without pressing the snooze, and has a really horrible alarm.

I finally found a suitable replacement by Braun that is sleek, compact, has a battery backup, and sounds pleasant. Plus you tap anywhere on the top of the clock to snooze it.

I only use an alarm clock when I am on holiday - true story….

[DougNg]

How are the tones?

The ones that are too jarring gives me a migraine I have to live with for the rest of the day.

I've found my iPhone works best since not having a headache for the rest of the day is more important than anything else a desk clock can offer me.

It is a little sharper sounding than I'd prefer but nothing close to the shrill beep of the Casio. The Casio is still a neat clock that looks like a massive Gshock, just not as user friendly.

I love the look of that Braun, so have ordered one myself.

[JDelage]

Wearing what I consider the most beautiful watch ever made for my brother's wedding.

[DougNg]

The Tank doesn't get enough love on the internet.

[Anesthetist]

Totally agree @DougNg. Oddly enough, as much as I like the larger Tanks I like the midsize models even more. Such a beautiful and understated watch.

@bryaneidins70 cool, let me know what you think of it

Interesting tangent, might be better elsewhere, that said… I use the alarm on my Sonos speakers, wake up to music of my choice every morning. Controlled by my phone, 1 touch volume down on the speaker etc etc. I have a backup alarm set on my phone, but in the near 8 years, have not needed the backup alarm...

I could not help but notice all of my relative's insane watches during a dinner in Vegas… thought you might enjoy....

Forgive the fact that they're all women's

They have a thing for bling-bling, don't they.

Pretty hairy women in your fam….. Anyone told them how to set the date?

[JDelage]

Major, major bling. Love it! 

[grandmasterben]

Yes, indeed, they sure do love their bling! Must run in the family…

And @Giles, you're right… didn't even notice the dates! haha

About the hair arms... what can I say, we're Persian 

[Giles]

I must be too then…..
