Watches - another OCD problem

[kkibbey23]

Beyond excited Had a surprising call last night from the Rolex ad I visited a few weeks ago. They had revived my Sea dweller 43 and it was ready if I was! So I made the trip today to pick it up. Such a great experience that I will always remember. Its very different than my speedy and I feel they are the best of both worlds. Really happy and shocked with how fast it took to come in. Originally she had mentioned it would be mid next year. So less than 3 weeks is pretty sweet. I may or may not have shown interest in gmt too

@kkibbey23 Great watch and big congratulations!! May you have many years of health and happiness with it.

@kkibbey23 sweet dude!! One hell of a watch!!

My baby is back...

Blancpain, London wanted USD300 to ship it to me. My answer was short and sweet.

So, @Danny-RnH very kindly picked it up for me. The new Rivet and Hide, London shop is but a few 100 meters from the Blancpain shop.

He shipped it to me in what I can only describe as a very non-watch containing parcel. On that note, Rolex used to lose a lot of watches in transit when the packaging proudly advertised what was within - Yeah, go figure MENSA candidates.....

Thank you Danny.

And diving ... Brooks disapproval from some people but it is a tool. A ridiculously expensive tool, but a tool nonetheless......

@Giles That’s awesome! And you know it’s going to be fine because you just got it back.

[goosehd]

@Giles a smile and a good laugh. Thank you!

[Giles]

Which, the way I live my life may not be that far away.........

[goosehd]

@Giles …take your time as it’s kind of nice having you around…I did say kind of

[Giles]

Is that a British "nice".....?

[goosehd]

@Giles you are teaching me well!

[Tago Mago]

@Giles „Canadian nice“

Rolex wouldn't service my watch without the OG bracelet. so I said stuff them

[Mizmazzle]

@louisbosco it’s odd how that’s their policy. I’ve always found that to be over the top.

[louisbosco]

@Mizmazzle yeah they're very pedantic about such stuff. I've barely worn my bracelet in 10 years. in the end, took it to a ex Rolex service guy..

Up their own arses....

Blancpain did not mind my cheapo Chinese rubber strap, even refinished the (OG Blancpain buckle) that was on it
