Expanding my search on from Rolex, my dealer thinks he can get one of these for me:


That's a great looking watch.

Hey guys, quick question about Rolex availability. I assume practically zero availability for stainless sport models, but what about two tone yellow gold? Is a two-tone yellow gold sub (black dial) practically impossible at retail as well? Also I have zero buying history with the ADs.
Dont think there is any availability for any Rolex from an AD unless you are a regular buyer from them. And even then, probably not.


It's worth a shot. I got my GMT in three weeks and I was far from a major customer at the jeweler. I had previously purchased my wife's engagement ring and wedding band and diamond earings.

And like clockwork, Farmer shows up to **** on other people's choices.

Farmer can go overboard with the snobbery but having an AD say he "thinks" he might be able to locate a Breitling that can be found online at a huge discount is pretty funny.

The Ice Blue Chronomat is super limited. There isn't a single one in America on Chrono24.

There is one in the UK selling used above retail.

So what is Joma selling. Am I missing something here?

Christopher Ward is having sale right now on selected watches. I really want that Pepsi but not on a leather band.

The one where it says "Contact us for availability" and has a low res stock photo, not a real watch pic?

Gotcha. Didn't attempt to purchase

The Breitlings with the B01 movement are great watches. I will probably add one to the collection at some point

B01 is great. I'll give you that. Let's see if they continue to do more in house or just pump out 1000 models and editions.

It's a great watch whether they flood the markets or not. I'd love for them to! I'll take one at 50% off any day of the week

Platinum: when you want to spend 90k for a watch 99% of people will think is steel unless you tell them

That ice blue dial without the lattice design might be my favorite Rolex. But I can't afford steel right now, much less platinum.

Tried it on recently. Not my jam but nice watch.

It has got to be heavy. My platinum wedding ring weighs about the same as my Aggie ring. Platinum is 3 times as dense as Stainless. I guess you get used to it.

Jesus. How big is your wedding ring? Mine weighs nowhere near as much as my Aggie ring

Heavy is good, heavy is a sign of reliability

I'm before that insufferable ****** who posts here comes and explains to us which type of people can get away with wearing a platinum watch and which ones can't.

I think its pretty simple. Rich people can and poor people can't.

It is just a simple band. But that is how dense platinum is.

Had an AD offer this up for $13,947. I passed as I can't decide what to get.

I'm not big on two-tone but that's a beautiful watch.

I think with a bezel that chunky, 37mm might be too small as a guy's watch. But maybe it could work. Though I agree with the above, not a fan of two-tone.

That's what i've learned here - 37mm is for beta male wrists

My understanding is they made that mid-size for the Asian market.
