Got a deal here. Still pretty high over MSRP but definitely a good price for secondary market if anyone is interested. Brand new, October 2023, full box and papers. Gmt master II "sprite" reference 126720VTNR

$17,200


If I had my watch polished, how close would it come to looking like this again?

Are we still a few years out until there is any sort of availability on new Rolex? I am about 9 months out from pulling the trigger but wanting to get a datejust for me and wife. Really was hoping to get them both new but just seems impossible….

Stuff I've seen online seems to indicate that wait times are going down.

This is SPF250 reporting live from Kyoto, Japan. After being in country for a week (Tokyo, Kanizawa) I've passed by a number of watch boutiques but the itinerary didn't allow for stopping. Finally had a couple of hours yesterday afternoon and spent a while at the Isetan a block from the hotel.

After paying for this trip, I didn't have the budget for a nice watch, but holy cow they had quite the selection. The Grand Seiko counter had some sort of Master designation and, wow, I could have done some damage there. However, I did buy this G-Shock for jumping in the pool, lake or hiking. With the exchange rate, the price looks comparable to US pricing, but I did save sales tax.

Interesting that I haven't seen a Rolex AD yet. I'm sure they are out there. Will definitely check duty free on the way out.

Clock shop on main Street in bozeman had a handful of vintage Rolex watches and a couple Cartier and a handful of other pieces. Ca 2000 sub was 10k but that was the only price I saw. Older pieces were in the cases and couldn't see the prices.

Does the bezel move externally? My Japanavitimer i posted a couple weeks ago has an extra crown that moves an internally rotating bezel. It came with instructions but i don't care enough to convert between statutory and nautical miles

Thanks. Maybe will try and run by an AD sometime in the next month or two and see what they have to say.

Have any of y'all ever heard of Marathon Watches? I just got a random email marketing thing and although I like the look couldn't find anything on them about their movements, where they're made, etc.

Movement is an SW220. It's in the link you posted. 46mm is a nice subtle size as well.

Thanks, I didn't scroll that far down. And yes, 46mm is large but not everybody is built like Lina's pencil-necked beard.

They are good watches but I find them overpriced, I think they play on the fact that they've made watches for the US and Canadian militaries and think that gives them a halo effect to charge what they do

Tag and Omega are going to be pissed that you're outing their marketing / branding plans to the public.

This thread can certainly be a circle jerk at times when it comes to certain brands....and then this group literally has one.
