And we complain about NIL. I haven't seen any kids get a Rolex lately. Don't bowl games have like a $500 cap these days for swag?

That's really cool. Now I'm jealous.

Promise you one would go for more than that if it was simply auctioned in this thread.

Just got my new CW C63 Sealander Bronze 100. So far I really like the look. And my CW family is growing...

The bronze looks nice on that strap.

When I was 6 years old, my family and I moved to Adelaide, Australia for 5 years. So when I saw that Artem Straps were based there, I had to get one. Feels very well made and sturdy. Probably going to take months to break in. Really like the deployment clasp. I really like the bracelet that came with my Speedy, but I have other watches to wear the strap on if I go back to the bracelet on this watch.

I like that, and have been eyeing an Artem strap for my Speedy for a while now. I just haven't pulled the trigger.

Surprisingly came very quick. Very impressed. Ultimately it will probably end up on my bronze CW diver, since I like the Speedy bracelet so much. But where I live, it's already turning cold and the bracelet is wearing loose, so a good time to give it a try.

Yeah, that makes sense. I have an order with my local Omega AD to get the adjustable clasp. Unfortunately when I bought my new 3861 in May 2022 they weren't shipping with the new clasp yet. Now they are.

I have a watch arriving today from FTAC2011 (a poster and watch dealer on this board that has helped many of us procure watches). I was teasing it a little bit before I get it and post pics later.

this will be your biggest watch to date I'm assuming?

Dollar-wise, no. It slots in under my Speedy Pro.

I guess the guys on the thread (cough, Farmer) can argue the merits of "bigness" for a vintage Rolex vs a new Omega, however.

I know about FTAC2011 as I just got my Tudor from him. Just didn't understand the picture of the Rolex note.

Ha, makes sense. Sorry for the confusion. I was just trying to bring something to the thread since it has been pretty quiet lately.

That's basically the certificate of authenticity with model number for watches made before a certain date. The modern day equivalent is the plastic card.

You must not have your collection setup on a Chrono24 account. FTAC's prices make your valuations look pretty good on there.

(Provided you didn't buy everything you own during the height of the Covid "investment" craze.)

Speaking of…
I'll give y'all another shot at a steal.
Full kit, excellent condition.

TexAgs only deal at way below comps anywhere else online: $3,550

Looking like it will be closer to Christmas. Some production has already started and we're working to tighten the windows. I'll be sending out another update when I hear back from the factory. Should be any day now.

Ok... a huge thanks again to FTAC who sourced this for me. I reached out a few weeks ago to see if he could find me a 1984 16013 Datejust. (I know there are mixed opinions on birth year watches, but I'm turning 40 in January, and I wanted one.)

Not only did he find me exactly what I asked for, but it's also in excellent condition...
