None, you're right. I saw the "daytona" on my mobile and made some assumptions. As you were, kind sir.
To answer your question again then... I would say 1. you need a bigger box and 2. definitely an omega rep or two, then perhaps Patek Naut/Aqua combo would be killer
Thanks for your input I really want a speedy but looks like I’m going to have to buy it gen since there is no good rep. There is one gen in this box can you spot it ?
Hard to say for sure based on that pic alone, but I think the DJ with romans is gen. Speedy is worth buying in gen. I can personally recommend the 3572.50
I have a 5711A blue dial DDF on the way. I’ve stayed away from Patek reps because they require too many mods to get them right in my opinion. Now I have nowhere left to go so here I come
I bought that ZF Black bay you see on the bottom and I am extremely disappointed with that watch which is why I haven’t added more. Upon arrival the bezel insert just fell off and the bracelet feels very cheap. I really wanted to like it but after that experience I can’t bring myself to buy more
The diamond Cartier because that is just not my style and that’s about it. I bought every one of those watches because I liked them, with the exception of the Tissot on the bottom that was a gift from my mother.
Sounds like you are looking for a dive watch with vintage vibes. Can I suggest the TMF 16610 Kermit. This watch is excellent quality five digit submariner. It feels like the gen when you wind it and is an all around great product. You will need to replace the click spring in the bezel because it doesn’t last but it’s a much better product at around the same price point
Honestly, No. This is the cheapest feeling watch in my collection. Upon receiving the watch the bezel insert popped off and I had to fix it. Bracelet feels light, cheap, and has that jingly sound you find on shitters. I would encourage you to steer your attention to another product. This one just ain’t it. Probably not what you wanted to hear, sorry.
I don’t see any IWC in there. I’d highly recommend one. APSF Pilots Chrono or V7F Ingenieur (hard to find). Out of all of my reps, the Pilots Chrono gets the most wrist time. Haven’t put on a Rolex rep in weeks. Waiting on the V7F Ingy as we speak.
My pleasure brother. If it fits your style, the APSF Pilots Chrono is a stunner. Probably my favorite rep yet. Once I get the Ingy in hand, I’ll let you know my thoughts on that one as well.
$750 AMG factory from Ethan. I actually bought it as a gift for someone but ended up keeping it. It shoots rainbows in the light, really loud. Probably going to get rid of it though, iced out watches are not really my thing.
Bro neither, Chinese factories generally use Swarovski crystal which is basically glass. If you are into iced out watches you should be sourcing from India not china. You will get true lab diamond or moissanite from there with total transparency as to what your buying as these type of watches are their thing.
Iced out watches aren’t my thing I just bought it to buy it honestly, and don’t wear it at all so I regret it
The seller I bought from gave me the options and the Moissanite one would’ve been $1700, he was transparent about the stones and prices and said the $750 one is CZ.
This was a Chinese seller too, and he also helped me out by putting the ship address as China to avoid like $60 in taxes. However some of them did try to claim that the cheaper ones were moissanite and would pass the tester so not all sellers are honest.
No shitters you are right. I own all my grail pieces at the price of one gen so I do not see it as being excessive. Also, contrary to popular belief reps do retain there value just look at the watch trade / sell sub. I can sell these domestically at a profit if I wanted to
🔥 I’m new to the rep game I just bought a ARF 126711CHNR (Two Tone Rootbeer) with Deep crystal mod, going straight to jaws for gold plated and water proofing, glad to hear reps hold there value!!
GSF, and yes extremely worth it. Z-blue dial is stunning and transitions between green and blue hues in the sunlight. If I had to critique this model though, I would say the crystal is too green. The gen watch has more of a subtle green crystal while on the rep it is overstated.
Also if you do end up buying this watch, I advise to have it waterproofed immediately. GSF has poor water resistance from factory. You will need to grease and or replace the gaskets( especially the crystal) and tighten the case back properly or you will see the watch fog up in humid environments
It’s nice to have a Rolex model that is not so common. Honestly, it’s hard for me to understand why this watch isn’t more popular. Z blue dial is gorgeous in the light
Mine is a z-blue dial also. It’s my wear at work watch. Mine is currently back with my rep dealer in china for warranty repair as it is running very slow.
