Weak releases from Rolex, not sure about the left handed GMT, looks pretty odd to me.

Good if you are left handed though

Very true, but the date at 9 o'clock looks off.

I have a 1973 Rolex single red submariner.

I get a bit twitchy wearing it on drunken days out such as going to the football etc so was very excited about the Omega moonswatches as a suitable alternative.

However, as per everything else they only seemed to be available in London and only then after hours of queueing as has been mentioned.

I'm keeping an eye on ebay but if anyone knows of a Moon or Mercury for sale at a reasonable price I'd be happy to have a look.

Thanks.

Apparently they will be released online in the near future and aren't limited.

I really hope so.

Having looked at them all in further detail I think I can crack most of my Christmas shopping early at the same time as treating myself.

Strap on them looks rubbish but switch it to a NATO and I think they look good.

Personal favourite is Pluto and if I can get one online I'll definitely grab one for £200, bit of a bargain and a good fun watch to have

What a good idea.

I hadn't even thought that far even though I already have a Nato strap on my Rolex.

Not a big fan of sweaty plastic or steel straps and the Nato's are much more comfortable and look really good.

I am here for a quick suggestion: I walked in a Patek AD today and was offered the possibility to place an order for a 5205g by putting down 25% refundable. I was wondering what should I make sure of to ask and receive at the time of the order, things to pay attention to, etc...it's the first big watch purchase and want to make sure not to make any mistake.

I am assuming that, by placing an order, I'm in a different situation than those on the waitlist. Please correct me if I am wrong. This is Tourneau, so I am also hoping to create a long lasting relationship since they sell multiple brands.

I also really liked the 5396R, but the AD is going to check if an order can be placed for that one.

Suggestions?

Hey, I’m looking for authentic Rolex or Patek Phillipe artwork. Preferably vintage posters.
Thanks
Edit.
I am interested in any artwork which incorporates Rolex.

[kfroms]

Refused to jump through loops to be able to buy a Tudor so got myself this. And its pretty much all you need.
G-Shock GA B2100
It now comes with Bluetooth ( which means even I can finally use the watch properly ) and it is solar powered.

Hi there what are you trying to purchase in the future? ADs hold a lot of power at the moment are you buying this to purchase more PP or other brands?

[Morfx]

Just sorting through some stuff and come across these... Forgot I even had them, purchased around 2005, but think they are from the 1994.. 👍

Any idea on a valuation?

Trying to start a small collection. They are a large chain of AD for most of the brands including rolex, pp, jlc, iwc, etc. Ended up leaving a deposit for the 5205g and purchased an IWC portugieser yacht club. Came back today and the AD mentioned some dispute about various orders with PP, which cancelled some, and they will try to figure out what to do in the next couple of weeks. In the meanwhile they have the deposit...

I personally have never been asked to leave a deposit when a watch has been ordered, never a PP though. My SA has made it clear that the watch was being ordered for me and that I would be expected to purchase said watch. If you are serious about building a collection and your SA sees your are a genuine collector from my experience this only pays off in the long term. For me it is of upmost importance that you build a relationship with a genuine SA as these people will be your point of contact.

Picked up a 1978 Submariner last year after a very long search, unreal condition for it's age with just a slight mark on the bezel. Finally got my grail watch after many years waiting.

Has it been polished?

Interesting video on the values of some watches falling. I know a lot of the Art Collectors on here also collect a few Watches as well.

[Horatio Nelson]

The fact that we have a 14-page thread on here about watches was always a signal to me that we were hitting the top of the market.

Wow so we are now flipping watches on here ☹️ did you not want to wear it first? Oh well Urban Art and Rolex forum!

[Daniel Silk]

Did you know Sylvester Stallone was a Watch Collector? It really sounds like a passion to him. Here he talks about 5 watches from his collection.

[Daniel Silk]

Another celebrity Watch Collector.
Henry Golding, don't you think he should have been the new James Bond? I feel he would have been perfect for the role of 007 😎

[christoffero]

Having decided to buy a new Rolex it took me 4 weeks to get an appointment to be "interviewed" to see if I could even get on the list for one.

I was told straight away that Rolex have shut the list on Daytonas, GMT Batman and green submariners.

I've put my name down for a sea dweller with the red writing so lets see how long it takes if it ever happens.

It's a nice watch, without all the hype it certainly isn't a £10,500 watch though, plenty better out their for that kind of money. If you know your watches, you can grab something a lot better than a sub for under £10K. Try Blancpain or Glausutte for starters. The JLC Polaris in green is also a great buy. Don't be like everyone else

Last 2 purchases from AD.....changes in the market all round. Hoping they dont call for a little while

What brand of Watch do you wear everyday?
Or do you have different watches depending on the occasion?

https://www.instagram.com/p/CiYUcc2MaEC

Haaa, I haven't worn a watch for years! 🤣 And I think now after so long it would feel really strange having one on my wrist. Actually with CFS, every little added thing can wear me down 😔 every bit of added weight uses energy that I just don't have spare.

I am actually wearing the same watch as Prince William does. An Omega Seamaster Professional 300M (also known as the Bond watch, because Pierce Brosnan wears it in some of his Bond movies).

If ever i’ve seen a post to stoke the fire it’s Daniel Silks what watch the Royals wear 😂. Not the most Royal friendly forum. I myself think it’s hilarious👍🏼

Maybe if you weren't posting so much of this incessant tripe you would have more energy spare. 😉

I think the username LazarusIII would suit you, you might want to create a new account using that name sooner rather tham later😊
