Never thought I'd like this piece since it got announced. Looks and wears great on wrist.

p01 is definitely interesting but you have to have the right wrist for it.

I drove two hours to purchase a two tone Datejust II today but the place didn't even have it in stock after they told me over the phone that they did

Damn bro... this ones on my wishlist. Would love to win it one day

My daily wear, although I think eventually I'll pick up something a bit more subtle...could be a GP Laureato or the new Chopard St Moritz inspired model.

Nice Datejust.

With tax it would've been about $10,200. The guy pulled out a stainless piece. I told him that's not the one on chrono24 and he realized he messed up and that the watch I wanted was just sold maybe a week or two ago before Christmas.

i would have made him, let me purchase a steel daytona or skydweller for retail on the spot and have his first born child after me

That would have been a great deal especially if it was a brand new DJ 2. If you see one available that is brand new, under $12k you just have to go and buy it because brand new ones are becoming more rare.

Don't wait too long and end up with a DJ 2 that's been over polished with messed up rounded off fluted bezel.

Any of ya’ll have trouble setting the time on some of your watches?

The skydweller is hella complicated so I just bring it to the store to have it set again.

 

[rfx45]

i dont have anything as complicated so its a non-issue for me... im just lazy

I gotta have it brand new with precious metal to justify the cost in my head, and full gold (brand new) is too much for most people period, let alone most people of the age range on this site.

was about 6 months of owning the watch I got off fleabay before I realized that all you've gotta do to change the date on an ETA 2824 movement is pull the crown out but not all the way & turn it counter clockwise. sounds simple enough but changing the date by moving the time on the watch forward 24 hours each time gets really tiring without any special tools if you don't wear the watch everyday/keep it in a winder. gets really bad when you've got to change move the date forward moar than 1 or 2 (changing the 3rd to, say the 15th was pretty brutal). I always thought that moving crown counter clockwise was bad for the movement but well those short youtube videos that ppl make about stuff they own are useful since that's how I ultimately learned. getting an older Rolex day date to be accurate looks very annoying:



keep in mind that this is after you've been running the watch through 24 hours to change the day of the week

I’m not as knowledgeable with watches so why is this the case?
