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

I didn’t know your pronouns were they/them. Duly noted.

One of the most stupid, as well as gratuitously hateful comments ever.

Duly noted and put you on ignore, just like your French friend. I won't miss anything anyway.

I gotta disagree with you on this watch. I think I posted about this a long time ago, but I saw a guy in streetwear wearing this watch before and it was such an awesome fit. So amazing looking that I have considered getting one myself many times. This is an exceptionally coherent watch.

I think we are going to have to agree to disagree. I've never been a fan of the modern Breguet Marines. I think sometimes one can see a watch in the wild and it can either change your mind, or it can solidify your opinion. In my case it solidified my opinion.

I was in a very nice sunglass/eyeglasses store (I might have a slight sunglasses addiction ). They carry everything from Raybans, Maui Jims, and Persols, to higher price point products from Dita, Cartier, Chanel, Bvlgari, etc. A guy in his early 60's pulled up with a new Bentley convertible. He walked in wearing a black dial gold Breguet Marine, and looked like a caricature of a guy from the 80s. He was wearing a neon colored Sergio Tecchini tennis warm up suit, a neon shirt that might have been the kind from the 80s that changed color with change of temperature, and big Cazal glasses! It was like Rick Flair, combined with the late Cubbie's announcer Harry Caray. He was about 40 years to late for a cameo in Miami Vice. So yeah, didn't like the watch to start with, and liked it even less in the wild.

Imagine something like this with matching pants... with theses glasses

Looking like Rick Flair

And Harry Caray

The worst one I saw was one of the 1900-ish highly coveted (understatement of the year) 911 ST’s spec’d with these custom sill guards. At least you can’t see them from the outside.

Ferrari Will Reject Bad Taste Customization to 'Defend Values' of the Brand

If Ferrari won't make your custom dream car come true, the aftermarket definitely will—but that might get you blacklisted.

I see we've entered the hate phase of the T.W.A.T. It was only a matter of time, honestly.

Can't we all just get along. It's about watches for crying out loud. And mostly really expensive watches, that 90% of the watch wearing public care less than nothing about. So, lighten up.

Hey, man. I actually agree with you.

Door to door in three weeks! RUSA quoted 4-6 so I was pleasantly surprised to get this back so quickly.

And now with period correct hands!!

That date looks incredibly off compared to the rest of the dial. I also don't understand a rubber strap on such a watch.

Same like the pm Rolexes on oysterflex no? This watch in ss makes more sense imo.

A better look at the matte charcoal dial.

I’m sure lots of people look at that as another black dial Rolex sports watch but the subtle differences like the dark charcoal dial, raised polished numbers on the bezel and [best of all] the fully brushed bracelet make for a fairly unique watch.

Easy to add that to one’s collection even if you already own an LN bezel Sub, SD or GMT (or multiples of each 😃).

Must have been a nice surprise!! Love it. Please post lots of pictures 👊.

Nothing hateful about a simple transmogrification. But no bit of humor has universal appeal.

Man, that is perfect.
