What is MSRP on the Nautilus 5711?  Isn't it around $40k?

Expand  

Well, they don't make the blue one anymore, so they are getting about 100k or so resale right now. But some joker is trying to sell an unworn one for 600k plus

They stopped making the blue one?  Damn, wanted to pick one of those up some day.  That's the only PP I would buy and wear.

amazingly enough, I got it at MSRP, in person, at Ben Bridge in the domain on Saturday. Somebody was supposed to buy it and flaked, so they put it on the shelf and it made it a day. So I put a hundo down to think about it, and picked it up yesterday afternoon, 
bad pic, but this is what I sent my friend, wheel badge for color reference.

The Santos has such a classic, longstanding look. Got the GO 70s in today, now I'm going to do a side by side with the Santos this weekend and decide. Probably the GO, but damn I was blown away by how much I liked it.

I'm back in the watch game. Finally pulled the trigger on a Zenith El Primero Chronomaster Original. I have the LE grey band coming and I am going to order a brown leather strap too.

US Marshals must have had a hell of a seizure.  The company in Pflugerville that handles their auctions (also did the Madoff auctions for them) has an auction going with probably more than 20 watches going over $10K right now (a lot of blinged out Rolex) including two Richard Mille that are at $211K and $227K respectively.

Must have. Most of the Rolex's are going at or near market rate.  If they had more info posted on those daytonas might be able to trip into a gem there depending which iteration they are.

Anyone have a good recommendation for custom croc straps? I picked up a 1950s Vacheron at auction and it definitely needs a different strap.

Will run you about $500-600 for a VC OEM tobacco croc strap.

Bidding kept going on the black Richard Mille.  It went up over $8,000 as the late bids came in to try and "steal" it.  Closed at $269,100

 

The gold bezel one closed at $221,500

Looks like the same buyer bought both RMs and the Patek.

I was wondering which rapper got his shit confiscated by the US Marshall and then came upon this lovely piece.

 A quick search returned YNW Melly whose is currently awaiting two counts of murder in a Florida jail and is also suspected in the shooting death of a 2017 deputy sheriff.

Ah. The genius who killed his friend, then made a hit rap about it, which eventually got him caught.

How big are your wrists? Those aren’t small watches 

Expand  

Not huge, I just prefer bigger watches.  Not a lot bigger, just slightly bigger.  I was dead set that I was going to buy a green Milgauss a few years ago.  Tried one on and didn't like the fit.  I ended up with a Datejust 41 instead.

1944 Cotton Bowl Bulova War Ace. Unusual team, as the draft age being lowered to 18 drive a lot of the team to enlist, forcing Bible to scramble for talent among transfers and on campus Navy trainees.

The AT is 41 which I feel like would be fine for me.  Honestly I have never tried one on.  I've tried the PO (doesnt work for me) and the Seamaster 300 (loved it).  

I mostly wear a Pelagos which is slightly larger.

I have a Seamaster. The AT wears slightly smaller.

I can't vouch for these but I'm thinking about getting one. Apparently based in Austin.

Saw it on the Gorilla Watches website. The guys who started Gorilla both came from AP, so hopefully they aren't promoting complete shit. Pricing seems to be mid range Wolf. 3 watch winder is 899.

https://juvoluxury.com/products/juvo-a3

Review from a few years ago is very positive.
https://wornandwound.com/hands-juvo-a4-watch-winder/

They look very nice and are apparently well built.

Posted

Also, pretty sure I posted a review of my Gorilla watch previously, but I really like it. Very unique design. I dig squarish watches It's quite large but wears very comfortable. I have 7.5" wrists and while it doesn't overhang it isn't far off. Love the auto-themed hour markers actually being the minutes up to 60 like a speedometer.

Absolutely has a presence and will get comments.

Mine is the Fastback Galaxy Blue. They have released quite a few new options since I got this one. The Wandering hours versions are definitely something I'd consider in the future. Such a cool complication.

Also has a great website that you can easily select the watch and rotate through strap options.

Anyone have a winder they're in love with?  I ordered this one about 16 months ago and it's already falling apart. 

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SPZZ15R/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_5XEXC3CJJCPY6NDXAGYD?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I would like to have at least 3 winding.  The storage for the others (quartz / digital) is a huge plus for me as well.

My favorite of the cheap options is the Triple Tree 4 watch winder on Amazon.  Sub $200.

I recently had a very nice watch stolen. Details aren’t important but it fucking sucks (stolen out of a car). I’m working with my insurers and have reported the incident to police - I’ve also had a jeweler contact post on the local and national Jewelers Helping Jewelers Facebook pages. 

How else would y’all go about trying to recover? Are any of the watch databases like this one legit? I am fucking sick right now.

Honestly - your best bet is going to be checking ebay for a listing or call every pawn broker in a 50 mile radius.

Ming blasted another email to existing customers for yet another new model, with a brand new case design.  The existing case size and its 'signature' curved lugs is what draws me to the existing Ming...new one also seems tobe 38mm

  Quote

37.05 debuts a new case family and will also be the first MING with a date function - in addition to the primary complication and another surprise or two. It remains lumious, inversive and a very wearable 38mm in diameter and is priced at CHF 4,950 with a 50% deposit required to confirm orders. Deliveries begin July 2022.
