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

Quite simple but I love it.

I’ve been looking for what seems like forever for a yellow gold, white dial dress watch that I like as much

I think I might have found it.

In my usual fashion, I’ll internally debate it until it’s no longer available.

This is the way.

Without getting into details, part 2 of the story which I'm witnessing from a semi-close seat is the VCs legally going after whichever of the people who did this, look like they have some net worth (why squeeze a stone dry after all). Investors are not totally without rights on 100m+ rounds that go wrong. So just as people about to start their MBA buy luxury items to clear their bank accounts before the Harvard admin takes a look at them to determine their qualification for a scholarship, the game here is to make sure you immediately spend your secondary "earnings".

There’s nothing illegal 99% of the time. Only if you did something wrong during dd but even then very unlikely.

I own that same version; bough it about a year ago and is the first and only DJ I've owned. I bought it because (a) I liked it and (b) I wanted to really understand the DateJust. I'd always thought the DateJust to be "boring." I. Was. Wrong.

I now get it. It's remarkably perfect for what it is (if that makes sense). It could easily be an "only watch" for many watch lovers IMHO.

The way to save $ as a watch enthusiast is to set your heart on something that takes a while to find . . . and then when you find it you internally debate it until someone else buys it.

This has saved me so many times.

Or set your heart on something that's so out of reach that you'll never be able to buy it short of winning the lottery.

This is really getting ridiculous.

Shocking moment two men put London watch dealer in chokehold in shop

The incident, which took place in a dealership in the affluent area of Richmond in west London at around 2.50pm yesterday, sees the pair run off with a large loot of watches.

For anyone considering a custom strap, Terrycrafted is amazing and has ridiculous attention to detail. I checked a few of his straps out in-person at a meetup a few weeks ago and have been going back and forth with him on a custom alligator strap and I had no clue half of the things he has asked about are even considerations.

Here are some pics of the leather and color he sent over.

IMO makes way more sense than something like Camille Fournet.

Just bought this! Idiocy really does pay…)

Its simplicity is probably the reason why you love it. It looks just perfect.

I also love it, Date Just and Day Date are the only models I really like in the Rolex catalogue.

I like how you mentioned factory alligator leather straps "wear out" on your wrist within 6 months and yet you keep going back to alligator leather straps...
