TONY HAWK PRO TIP

BCC ALL the dealers in your geography on one email
Tell them you're ready to pull the trigger but are a grizzled collector that is used to good discounts

You'll get ~20% - 30% off most watches. And most retailers run at ~40% - 60% margins depending on the brand.

reverse auction I like it .

Tried this on in NYC a few weeks ago.

Sealed the deal for me as far as a platinum Daytona is concerned.

So a couple of weeks ago I bought this:

Congrats. The diamond indices are really cool. I think gemstones as indices in general are under-utilized.

Thank you.

In the context of the platinum Daytona, I think this particular dial is extra special given the new reference with diamond indices still retains the brown sub-dials from the regular dial. However, to each their own.

With that said, I just like diamond indices...

Should be here this week 😜

I tried a bunch of them out last week or so at the AD here and loved the feeling of the bracelet + overall design. The chronograph is only 12.4mm thick which is amazing imo. I really love my thinner watches nowadays so this was a no brainer!

I was originally planning on the annual calendar with moonphase but it’s much harder to find and I actually use chronographs a fair bit.
