No idea I was off forum for about a year there. Maybe he is a billionaire now - not impossibe given he worked with property in London I think. Could be busy counting money.

A Rolex can't tell a leap year or a leap second. Or summer and winter times. Pfft. My phone can. Stupid watches.

for a guy who doesnt drink or do drugs I can be genuinely retarded at times. I read that as "Or summer and winter tires" :-X

He was a 30k millionaire. His attachment to physical trinkets, a wonder to behold!

Love watches and always have.Rolex is my favorite and ive worked hard to always have a rolex on my wrist.I like the look,heritage and feel of them.Not into most other watches.Not rich not trying to show off just a watch guy plain and simple.For me it was always better to have buy 5-10k watch than a 50-100k sports car.Also the prices i pay for my rolexes i never really lose money on reselling them as im a serial flipper.
-
Most of these expensive watches scream "DOUCHEBAG!"
-
I would like to provide a review of my diamond engraved Rolex Submariner, but it stopped working after I got some pussy juice on it from a girl I met in a nightclub in Dubai.

I haven't worn a watch in years, yet I always know the time.

It's funny how all the people who can't afford a high-end watch, always judge people who can as douchebags
I love watches! The mechanics, the craftsmanship, the quality and the way they tell a lot about a person.
Some like cars, others like boats or guns..whatever floats your boat.
But only a fool would deny the quality of a truly upper end watch.
I can tell the time on my phone ::)

I've built a decent collect of stainless steel watches but for some reason I am now looking for a good gold watch, something classic and not ostentatious like a AP Royal Oak, but just a subtle Omega or Rolex. I would prefer not to have a gold band. Would like a nice gold bezel, back and case but a watch face that is not gold with a good dark brown alligator band with a gold deployment clasp.

I`ve got a cheap ass watch that tells perfect fucking time.

I bet you have a car that is just cheap enough to get you to your AARP meetings and shoes good enough to not get your feet dirty and clothes cheap enough to cover your ass and a phone cheap enough to allow you to make calls to your dealer. So what?
-
What is it with getbiggers and watches? Every couple of months a similar thread comes up. I just picture a guy wearing an affliction tee shirt with jeans with crazy color basketball sneakers wearing his $2000 Chinese counterfeit Rolex.
Why not a thread on shoes and fine suits?

There are lots of show threads. Just look up TA's threads on his british hand made shoes. As for fine suits, well no getbigger can order off the rack.

Yes a thread like this pops up every few months and everyone not into watches thinks its a brag fest.I dont have a rolex to brag,i like them plain and simple.Funny how people assume things.Its a watch if i like it i will buy it.id say the guy juicing is more of a show off than a guy wearing a nice watch.

Not about bragging though. I own a lot of expensive watches, some are just for my love of complications and mechanics and rarely wear. Then I have every day watches that I cycle through but the mainstays are my Rolex, Concord and IWC watch. I have always had an obsession with overly complicated watches.

What Rolex's do you like/own Rob ?
-
If I am going to spend a good amount of money on anything, its definitely not going to be a watch. I'd rather spend my money on something else.
Basically, pick your "poison." We all have certain likes and dislikes. For me, Ill take my money and do something else with it (for instance, going to Australia to meet Vince Basile). My cell phone tells me the time. That is good enough.
To each their own.

My dilemma is usually that many of the watches I would buy with passion usually depreciate a lot!
But some of my more "boring" Rolex's have actually gone up in value.

there's a dip in appreciation. The first few years the value dips slightly because its not new, then there is a major dip in value where the watch is neither vintage or new so stuck in the middle then it becomes vintage and the price jumps way high.

True!
But some brands just go downhill fast..even being fantastic watches.
I have two Girard Perregaux, that even though I bought them second hand have gone down quite a bit.
My Daytonas from the 80's and early 90's hold great value.

Right now i have the 116660 deepsea,never was into big watches but im loving it.Just got it a few months ago,traded a blue milgauss and a few grand for it.My favorites are 116660.116520,114060.ive had the 114060 around 5-6 times and the 116520 3-4 times.haha i get bored quick and flip then go back.how about you?then i will buy some here and there strictly to sell.

Like cars watches can be bought like new after they have depreciated. I have never lost a dime on a higher end watch.
Watch forums have areas where people sell watches and that's where I have purchased most of mine. Watch Recon shows all the watches for sale on all forums.
My fave blue dial.

I have a steel Daytona, the two-tone Daytona pictured above and this Yachtmaster II.
I also own several breilings, AP's and GP's.

I like that clear caseback on the daytona.i an a big fan of the ymii,been contemplating that one for a while now.

This is mine, wanted one for many years since I saw Roger Moore as 007 with one in "The Man with the Golden Gun"... finally got it in 2002!!!

That Rolex would look nicer with a dark brown alligator band. Don't want a gold bracelet on my wrist.

Thanks! I wound up selling the Omega PO because it didn't balance well on the bracelet.
-
What happened to that guy?
Put his hand on the wrong thigh?
Or maybe taking an extended "Holiday" in Ibiza with two women who are approx 5'10, and who laugh at his jokes about how certain Getbiggers are jealous of his watch collection and physique.

I just today bought me and the missus a Daytona and pearlmaster respectively.
Dealer prices, so whilst expensive the only money I should lose is my insurance costs.
I keep telling myself that as the extravagance of spending that amount on watches doesn't sit so easily.

I can tell the time on my phone ::)
The time on phone comment was a joke... made clear by time on microwave addon.
Thing is, the difference between bling and luxury. If you are Arnold and have a watch collection, it is throwaway money. If you have 10k in the bank and rent cars and have mortgages but also a Rolex it screams "I want to look like I have money".
I know 2 billionaires, and a lot of multi multi millionaires. I also know people with no money who drive cars they can't afford and buy designer clothes and spend a tonne on presents.
It is about priorities. I appreciate a fine watch or car like anyone else.

Do you want names? One lost most his money and the other sequestered a lot by gifting his wife gifts of $100m here and there but still owns a lot of property that was unencumbered.
Pm me if you want names. One is a close mate (son of billionaire obv) and in legal battle over property now so i would rather not publicly mention names.

Thanks man I had been eyeing for a while.

Its to bad people cant enjoy something without people thinking thinking they are showing off.Watches are in my blood as my grandfather had watches and my father has a rolex,nothing to do with showing off.Just a hobby and we enjoy it.Like i always say some people like boats,cars,bikes,clothes etc...i like watches.

Four of the five watches I own are older than the majority of you kids. I am wearing my Seiko Automatic "diver's watch" right now.
Status symbol? Nope. It's a watch. I look to it for the time, not to improve my "status" in a pathetic celebrity based society. But I don't begrudge any MAN a fine watch. And all of mine work just fine, thank you.

Yup. My watches are from 40 to 100+ years old now (except one of the pocket watches which I doubt is more than a few years old). I just like them and recently had the Seiko fixed. I need to get my Bulova Automatic repaired but first I have to find it !
Getting old sucks, ya know. ;D ;D

I only ever wore an Army issue watch and you can buy them here. Good Kit.

A Sub is the only watch I own.
Almost traded it for a Panerai GMT (to replace the Daylight sold a few years ago) but it's a classic. Also, it's appreciated more than the daylight would have.
Daylights seem to hold their value very well.
It's hard to beat Rolexes; in terms of watches that appreciate in value.

you know what the only thing i wear is a signet ring on my small finger left hand with my initials which my wife bought me. Is it worth a lot of money in Gold not much although it´s 18kt. The price you pay is a lot more than the middle man pays.

Panerais are overpriced watches. Average watch with a high price to make it "exclusive".

The consumer decides what a product is worth.
I'm definitely getting another one next year but have to decide between a GMT or used Daylight. The Daylight face changed in 2005 or 2006 and I don't like the new one.
The Sub is less chunky and better for daily wear.

I do, and they don't keep great time. also, if they sit for 3 days they stop so you have to reset them.

That kind of defeats the purpose of wearing a watch, doesn't it? Why is it folks spend a lot of money for something that doesn't work any better than it would if it costs less. I recently read where Cadillacs have a lot of transmission issues....seems like the same thing. If it's for the ladies, then I would say if a woman is attracted to you because of your watch, car or expensive clothes than she isn't worth wasting your time on.

valid point. i coulda put $45000 into a mutual fund ten years ago and had 20-30 % of its value today.
if someone is choosing between paying a mortgage, getting their kids braces, or setting up their retirement vs. buying a watch; yes, they are idiots.
but if someone has all their bills paid, plenty of savings, and buys nice stuff, then more power to them.
and i don't know if you noticed my one post above, i sold one watch for more than i bought it for 8 years earlier.

Having an investment work out well is always a good thing regardless if it is in art or mutual funds. So, you make a very good point. Like you, my finances are stable to the degree that my income is greater by far than my expenses. I can't take the money with me and I'm old, so might as well spend it on things that make me happy. That's why I've been putting a small fortune into my home lately.

Its to bad people cant enjoy something without people thinking thinking they are showing off.Watches are in my blood as my grandfather had watches and my father has a rolex,nothing to do with showing off.Just a hobby and we enjoy it.Like i always say some people like boats,cars,bikes,clothes etc...i like watches.
I hope I wasn't interpreted like that.
I just roll my eyes at people who wear 30k in jewellery and clothing yet cannot pay off loans. The same idiots who caused financial collapse (aided by lenders of course) bought houses, cars, jewellery etc beyond their means to show off.

people talk of vehicles being depreciating assets. impossible. the definition of asset is something that increases in value, or adds to your net worth.
i bought one new vehicle in my life, and did that thru a business and managed to lose very little overall, but still hated the losing part

Well... an asset can appreciate or depreciate. My house could go up or down in price, same as a barrel or oil could.
Most vehicles depreciate but... classic car prices have risen something crazy like 4000% in the past decade (Ferrari 250GTO is example) and other, in demand, cars like the Veyron, McLaren P1, or when it came out, the Bentley Continental, rise in value BEFORE they go on sale.

I hang onto my vehicles forever. Currently, I'm driving a 2004 Mazda 6 V-6 wagon. It runs great. It has a little over 140,000 miles on it. My mechanic wants me to sell it to him. Yesterday, I looked at a 2016 VW Golf GT 4 door. It looked hot! I was tempted, really tempted. Unfortunately, if memory serves me right, the excitement of having a new car wears off as fast as it gets a little dirty and needs to go to the car wash. $36,000 is a lot of coin to pay for a few weeks of joy. On the other hand, it could be the last car I ever buy considering how long I keep them.

ya, some people consider an asset anything that can be converted to cash. some financial gurus refer to it as something that brings you a return.
like a home that is mortgaged is an asset, but not your asset. it is an asset to the bank that loans you the money, because they are getting back more money than they put out.

I hope (falsely) people stop viewing homes as an investment here after what happened in 08/09... residential went down 50-60% (commercial 80%) unless you own a few properties or more unencumbered.
If your house went up in value 50% but everyone else's did you can't win unless you sell and move to another country or owned a few houses and settle on one. Like a poker game where everyone's chips rise. Ugh. Sorry i am tired and i see the same mess happening here again. Better go bed.

I do, and they don't keep great time. also, if they sit for 3 days they stop so you have to reset them.
That's the life of an automatic watch. A quality wolf winder will keep it going indefinitely. Anyways. PM me what you're looking to get for the gold one.

IF you get one, this is the BEST color combo...
All black wasn't available at the time and I didn't want something that drew attention. The Sub was a great deal (jeweler was a close friend and Godparent of one of my brats) and has essentially doubled in value, despite a senile mother throwing away its box and papers, LOL!
I enjoyed the Daylight more but the Sub was better for daily wear. Also, I had more tied up in the Daylight and essentially broke even when letting it go.

My kind of thread. Major watch aficionado here!
Currently rockin the AP as my timepiece of choice.
Did you purposely crop the pic extra small to hide the shitty AR on the crystal, lack of sunken bezel screws, and how closely the date is hugging the tach?
Its a very nice watch for 200$.

I'd respond a lot more thorough but I'm on a boat in Belize. Perhaps you could take it upon yourself to do some due diligence post up pics of what you think the real one looks like. Maybe after I'm back I will show you what AP paperwork looks like.

Haven't worn a watch in years, they detract from my arms. ;D
