You were right. Watchexchange is back but a number of my subreddits did not return.

Womp womp..

I don’t understand Reddit. Too many dipshits downvoting good content. I’m getting old.

Men are taking over women's sports so why not watches as well. [emoji848] This got a laugh out of me. I’ve been lifting a lot of weights lately. I wonder if I’m on track to set a (women’s) world record? On edit — apparently I’m the world record holder for raw bench in my women’s age and weight clas...

First step to being trans….

Terry lead the way!

Nah. First step is cutting off your dick. Don't think too long. Just take the leap.

The feminization of men is real.

Shit. Wrong thread. Was supposed to go into the men wearing women’s watches thread.

No Vacheron but they had AP and PP? Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk VC was number 4 on the list... Number 4: Vacheron Constantin – The Oldest Continuously Operating Watchmaker Tradition is palpable at Vacheron Constantin. The manufacturer was founded in 1755, and describes itself as the oldest...

I just read this list. It's a real shit show. TAG, IWC, and B'ling but no Seiko?

I'll go out on a limb and say that every "special" mainstream model that comes up to auction is a franken of some sort.

So this link would be a very nice addition to the clasps with the older style diver extension (the version that's on vintage bracelets + the 14060M). I'm going to buy at least one and see how it works. If this works, I’ve got 3 that could actually be worn instead of collecting dust all summer. I'm ...

Wait… is it really 50k?? Yeah. It’s white gold, so “only” a $9k up charge for the display back and bracelet/ceramic bezel/panda dial combo that everyone has wanted forever. I guess I didn’t know the msrp of a regular Daytona. Insane. White gold on bracelet is around $40k. SS is $14k I think.

I love it. But it is $51k at MSRP, impossible to buy at retail, and will sell at 3x retail via the usual suspects.

At this point watches like this have the same function as a Rembrandt painting. Beautiful but totally impossible own.

New purchase at the Tudor event last night. Not the Tudor you see all over the net and not for everyone, it’s a bit quirky but I love the looks. Id been been wanting one and last night I just pulled the trigger [emoji16] I hesitated between the salmon and blue dial, but blue being my favorite color...

That's pathetic. I don't know how some people sleep at night... https://www.prestigetime.com/images/watches/1-39-11-09-81-70.jpg They even took their photos with the hands in the same spots! I'm sure if you're joking, but 10 past 10 is the universal watch picture time setting. I agree with Andrew t...

I heard back from these guys: Thank you for your email. I must say, you have an impressive collection! I myself own a few five-digit Rolex divers. Regarding the installation of the extension link, it would involve removing the diver's extension section. Based on personal experience and feedback from...

….and the MM300 isn’t “chunky”. It simply has a “Dad bod”. Chicks dig that today.

This looks so good. The original MM300 is one of the watches that I really wish wasn't too large for me. Such an iconic design from, IMO, the heyday of watches.

Just to add… The more I think about it, I believe pretty much all watches fall into two categories: “practical” (i.e. quartz / smart watches) and “statement” (everything else). In the “statement” category, I’d say there are four sub categories: 1) Luxury (focus on affluence/ success) 2) Premium (fo...

Agreed - totally run like a company organized in silos. That's exactly the right way to describe it. It's like GS doesn't even know that these weird random watches have a feature that GS sorely lacks relative to Rolex and other similar alternatives. Worse that they have the product designed and imp...
