Is that like a 90mm watch?

Badhobz 03-05-2024 08:27 AM

no its 40mm, i just used a wide angle lens and it looks huge. Its actually not that big on the wrist.

Kinda wished the tachymeter bezel was also white. Then it would go great with a white nato for that ultimate douche bag look

If it was stainless with black print it would be perfect Kreygasm (they've have Speedmasters like that; I've posted on here!)

Edit: this one... This bezel would be perfect

It’s so interesting to me how something might not pique your imagination much virtually but in reality it just makes so much sense every time.

I got this as well (not in the same color) and i agree with you, i keep coming back to it. Only beef i have is going on vacation with it. the 12/24hr and different time zone is a pain in the ass each time i got travel over seas.

Who would have thought loaning out your AP/Rolex etc for payment to a watch rental service could go wrong?

$13M worth of rentable luxury watches vanish after rental firm owner flees to Dubai
Around 900 luxury watches worth almost $13 million are missing in Japan after a site renting them out folded and its owner fled to Dubai, local media reported.

How much did they charge to rent something for a month? NGL I'd consider it for an Royal Oak chrono LUL

Mikoyan 03-08-2024 03:14 PM

No idea. No details on the guys website, but I found another article that says one person was getting paid 25000 yen a month for lending his 2 rolexes to the company.

So he was making about $85 USD per month, per watch... Seems like not much money considering the risk factor as well as wear and tear...

Skinny why dont you go talk to some peeps in shenzhen, grab all of the best replicas and then rent those out for 85 bucks per watch. SMART!!

Yeah but for most people at that level, the entire point of a nice watch is so show off your wealth.. And if you can show off your wealth for $300 instead of $10,000, why not?

That's just cynicism talking though lol.. There's still a huge legit market here.. Probably one of the biggest per capita outside China

I bet it's still over 90% who would just buy replicas though...

68style 03-10-2024 02:41 PM

I remember flying to HK on Cathay years ago and reading an article on the in-flight magazine that said HK amounts for 68% of al luxury watch purchases in the world.

When there is zero hope of buying a home, you may as well spend your money on lux goods to feel good about yourself and show others you are successful.

Are you talking about here or HK?

I picked up this classic Seiko Automatic off of eBay... took a chance on a 0 feedback seller from Pakistan lolol... I really liked the colour, that's why I went for it.

It's pretty nice, really nicely cleaned up/refurbished... and the days of the week alternate between English and Arabic, which is kinda interesting and unexpected detail!

SkinnyPupp 03-14-2024 02:20 PM

Amazed that it appears to have the original dial!

Badhobz 03-14-2024 05:03 PM

seiko Yiffany dial ! nice

like a rolex oyster in biffany dail color but 1/10 the cost and better looking too

p.s. did you make sure it wasn't sent from a Taliban heavy region part of Pakistan ?!?!? you dont wanna be funding jihadists now :lol

bcrdukes 03-14-2024 05:57 PM

Who or what in the world is a Biffany? :suspicious:

SkinnyPupp 03-14-2024 11:18 PM

Joining the Timex mailing list was a good idea, t hey release new models constantly!

Now they have a moonphase watch. Stainless steel case with acrylic crystal

https://i.imgur.com/oG7icwD.png

It has that problem where the movement is too small, so all the subdials are near the center of the watch, making it look weird.

I wonder if it's the same movement Casio uses?

https://i.imgur.com/9osNlV2.png

Timex one is $180 I think. Casio is $70
