ADs should only be charging retail for new allocated pieces. however, there are ADs that also resell pre-owned/traded pieces.

Like Bucherer here in Germany. They're the official retailers, but also resell pre-owned Rolex, etc.

What are your guys thoughts on the Defy classic or skeleton watches in general?
Trying to get a new watch for my birthday
Really torn between a Zenith defy classic (black) and a speedy
I’ve been always passing on the speedy because I know I can scratch it off the list later. And I was finally going to commit to it and then I got intrigued by the Defy classic and I can’t decide from the two smh

Took advantage of the weak yen here in Tokyo.
Decided to go with the date sub over the gmt.
First watch and first Rolex.

Nice to see folks adamant about retail in here. I am more drawn to older/vintage references, so I don’t buy at retail per say. I do like the mint green dial DJ41, so I might put my name down for one. Tbh, I wouldn’t mind spending up to $2k over for an immediate purchase. However, I’m not one to spend ~$28k on a new Daytona.

Seiko King Samurai "Dark Manta"
Been debating copping a bracelet for this. From what I've seen online I'd go with either Strapcode or Long Island Watch. Anyone have experience buying bracelets from either company? They look identical to me but Long Island Watch is about half the price of the Strapcode.

lots of other great brands out there with no wait time
cartier for example treats me well, this arrived as a surprised
just a candle on some ceramic holder but theyd probably charge $300 if they sold it

This thing looks absurd …Too bad because in a manageable case size, the titanium build and no date would make it probably the best modern dive watch in the market…

how big is your wrist?My girl at Cartier called me the other day saying they had a black Tank in for me.
Excited, I rushed over and tried it on before potentially purchasing it.
However, much to my dismay the watch was way too small on my wrist (at least in comparison to my frame/build).
Oh well.

my wrist is 6.5”
the tank is definitely gon look small (black dial doesnt help) but thats also you got to roll with, even on my wrist, it could look small but its so nice
sorry it didnt work out for you though, maybe next year the XL version might get some love and that might work better for you?
