The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

[Michigan Planner]

I acquired this earlier in the week. Maybe I’m just still in the honeymoon period with it but this feels like one of those watches that will convince me to sell off a bunch of other watches.

It's difficult to even get a reservation at any of the decent places. Just stick with the shriveled up burgers at Pecos Bill's. We usually go to Disney 3 or 4 times a year, and I think next time I might have to call the bank for a home equity line.

One of my employees would take his wife and 2 kids to Disney every year. He would always watch the price of Amazon stock around the time he was booking everything because he would need to sell a few shares each year to fund the trip. Poor guy was blowing his retirement taking them every year.

Never been to Disney. Zero desire.

I’m sure EVERYONE has seen this but this is one damn fine watch (and a really good video):

It sure is a beauty. Knowing it can handle my daily eating habits is another plus in my book!

I've had mine on the strap for a few weeks. May have to put the bracelet back on for a bit. It's such a versatile piece.

Alright fellow speedy guys. I have never worn my speedy on anything other than a bracelet. Recommend a strap for me to buy.

I love the look of the Artem sailcloth straps. Don't personally own one so, can't say from experience but… they look great

I like the brushed gold. I'm not sure how crazy I am about the dial against gold and for $35k it would be nice to have the 321 over the cam actuated 3861, though I know their gold 321 releases have had laughable price tags

Finally a bit of good news.
Those that lost their ALS funds on crypto’s dive, can now take what’s left over to TAG.

Never in to artificial realities or being trapped in one company's domain. Probably the same reason I find cruises unappealing and can only handle Vegas in small (raucous and hedonistic of course) doses.
