The Timepiece Thread vol: READ THE 1st POST!!!

Does anyone in the thread have a snoopy?


Also I tried on the cycling Pelagos fxd the black/red version last week, that thing is nice in person.. I’m debating pulling the trigger just because how hot things are in these streets when you travel certain places

But I want to see the fxd gmt in person before I decide on anything
 
i remember someone here was offered the snoopy so i looked back on my post but it looks like the guys got banned and his posts were removed

Yea I searched snoopy, but just saw general discussion

I got zero faith actually getting one from omega itself.. my local rolex AD in the Bahamas (John Bull) also carries omega but they’re not getting snoopy.. we also have another store that has omega but again they won’t get snoopys

A guy I know from our local red bar group got one but he had to go through a ton and got it stateside

I can't comment on the snoopy but the black and red black bay chrono is a super safe option as it's different enough from anything in the Rolex, AP, RM and Patek catalogue.

most boutqieus would get a handful a year, maybe one a month if they are lucky so its much harder for ADs to get one

lots of ADs are losing Omega too as they build more boutique and trying to be more exclusive

they are too focused on trying to be rolex when they are making a killing being the alternative

With how small circles are down here it would be easy as hell to get one.. but we don’t have an actual omega boutique.. none of the providers will ever get them

I am curious if we end up getting a boutique eventually down here

But yea you’re right the headaches Rolex has created with everyone in the market, the natural turn was to omega so zero clue why they would follow down similar paths.. and as we discussed previously, wasn’t a huge fan of how over the top they went with the moonswatch
 


Curious to see this blue in person.. I’m a fan of Lake Tahoe and Mojave

But did not like the oceana, thought the band had a weird dark jeans look in person

Not a fan of the price points for these though ($13,500 for that one)

yah im just not a fan of IWCs pricing, i want to consider the ingeneur 35 but $10.5k is just a bit much
 
I love my iwc but agree they are overpriced.

Those poor super rich people being duped by Tiffany. I feel so bad for them. :rollin

I’m starting flying lessons come September and thought it would be nice little gift to myself after I got through a couple of the steps (like say my instrument rating or multi engine rating)

So thought getting an IWC would be fitting.. but for as much as I like those top gun models, ain’t no way I’m spending that for that


And with the ingenieur, thought they’d try to undercut the sun/gmt price.. but that all black 42 is $20,6.. and the stainless steel 40 is $12,3

got to try on the ingeneur 35 as well but i even told the AD in his face its crazy to retail for $10,500 :lol: but it is a great watch and looked good but for $10k+ there are so many other better choices

Reminds me of this story from a couple of years back: https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/recommended-reading-patek-philippe-lawsuit

Yet another reason why I refuse to bend over and take it from behind from an AD.

At least with grey market dealers, they're upfront about f*cking you.

i've said this to pretty much anyone who will listen. AD "promises" you ____ watch, if you buy x, y, and z. you develop a purchase history, and a year+ later and still no watch. now you spent for 3 watches you don't want when you could've saved yourself the time and probably money to just go grey.
 
What are your guys’ thoughts on Orient watches? I’ve been eying the Orient Bambino version 8. I’m getting tired of wearing my Apple Watch and want to get something else as a daily.

this is where liking too much benefits me :lol:

i found an AD that sells Rolex along with GS, Tag, Omega, Tudor, Cartier, Zenith Breitling and even Nomos and Gerald Charles

and yes it still took a while to get my Explorer and Im still waiting for the Panda Daytona but I honestly have not regretted anything ive purchased from that AD

they also carry jewelry but i never bought those from them
 
Not going lie that whole game is going cause me to stick with my AD down here and what they carry that’s on my wishlist

I’ll still pop in certain places and get my name added to some shh but it ain’t the end of the world.. but I know I’ve been lucky as hell with my AD and access to rolex but they also carry Tudor, IWC, omega and Cartier
