Have you seen the khaki one? It apparently has some new crazy bezel.
Looks like the khaki one only has the new Liquid Metal bezel for some reason
High-end Watches Locally?

I do think it's a little bit funny that some people don't view a $6,000 watch as high end. To each their own I suppose.
He's an Omega hater.
No, she has higher end tastes....Aggie Therapist said:BoDog said:
Should rename the thread from High End Watches Locally to Mid Level Watches Locally. The obsession and interest by the Omega fan boys never ceases.
Did you find a speedmaster on your wife's nightstand?
Im just disappointed that I didn't click on this thread sooner!

I knew a few Marias in my past…
Couple days of work around the house then leaving for Vieques for a week... Pulled out my work horse, low key travel, beach/sailing watch for the first time in a longtime.
Pretty cool pic I got from one of my clients. One of his buddies works on an oil rig and they sent a deepsea down 6k feet on an unmanned sub.
Maybe someday you'll be able to take a ride down there with your client.
I hear those submersibles are pretty safe.

Yeah manned missions are upcoming. They will even have a hole you can stick your hand out to test your watch. It's a startup. SeaGate or something along those lines.

Maybes its a submarine for people transitioning from he to she/they/ze???
Once you place yourself into the vessel it becomes a manned sub.
It changes its identity.

It's only unmanned if you like everyone around you enough.

Thought this was an interesting ranking
https://robbreport.com/style/watch-collector/lists/the-greatest-watches-of-all-time-1236130285/audemars-piguet-royal-oak/
1. Speedy
2. Royal Oak
3. Sub
Cool list and hard to argue with most top picks.
My major bones to pick would be datejust down at #24 and no Seamaster or Explorer in the top 50.
IMO Datejust is top 5, Seamaster top 10 and Explorer top 20 on my all time watch list.
you talking about this one?

Tomorrow, Rolex is set to increase prices for their new models and the secondary market is about to get interesting.

This is how things will likely play out:
1) Immediately, all NEW Rolex models go up on the secondary market in accordance with their new retail price

Tomorrow, Rolex is set to increase prices for their new models and the secondary market is about to get interesting.
This is how things will likely play out:
1) Immediately, all NEW Rolex models go up on the secondary market in accordance with their new retail price
2) Rolex increases production and floods their authorized dealers with inventory
3) The ADs don't have enough demand and begin to dump to dealers on the secondary market (dealers can buy 10+ watches at a time and the ADs will offer it to them below MSRP which is something they won't do for the general public)
**Keep in mind the ADs cost is about 35-37% off the MSRP price and almost all of them aren't interested in keeping their stores stocked investing millions into Rolex inventory, they want to pre-sell their watches even if it means less profit per watch (they want volume).
4) We will see most models trade at or below MSRP and eventually you will get a better deal with your grey market dealer vs the Rolex store
Final Point:
This is good for the end user because if you have deep pockets you can soon have your pick at any watch at the Rolex store without playing the waiting game
Next post I'll explain what this means for dealers like myself

Sorry guys I'm closing up shop based on this tweet.
Jk. Rolex raises prices every year so this is nothing new. This would only help me. The hesitation of people buying Rolex, patek, etc from grey market is that a lot of the prices are too far from msrp. The closer they get to each other the more competitive I can be in that sense.

Those "xxx guy" accounts on Twitter are typically run by clowns looking for engagement.
I follow LWG because he posts cool looking watches but his takes on the market are usually BS and clickbait. Such is the world of Twitter.

FTAC, do you think Omega will raise their prices in the Speedmaster? If so, have a guess when? Seems like they follow suit with Rolex around Feb.
Point being, I'm trying to see how much time I have to make a decision, and if you are still willing, work through you to make a Sapphire Sando Speedmaster purchase.

Just kidding. I haven't heard anything from omega but it wouldn't surprise me. Seems all of these watch brands have consistently had price increases.

Omega prices have risen 30% over the last 5 years or so, but I'll be damned if anyone's actually paid a nickel more.

Is that some random LEO or somebody we should know?
I do know that it's very, very common for a lot of special forces types (using "special forces" here as a catch-all for SEALs, Green Beret, Delta, etc) to wear high-end watches. Especially Submariners and Seamasters.

"SOF" is the catch all you want to use to cover those guys. Special Operations Forces.

Love the dump pouch being utilized as an iPhone carrier. His Oakleys scream cop.
