Nothing compared to Mr. Goodrum's Casio watch.
-
That's a Mille. Damn, those are even out of my price range. Was looking at a used one and even that was not in my budget.

$938,000, I wonder how much of that Stallone got comped? Back when Stallone collected custom knives, I knew guys in that business, and Stallone is a hard bargainer, almost to the point of being off putting.

Serious question: What makes a watch that expensive? There is no way the machinery in that watch is more complex than the machinery of, say, a Ferrari, which can be a few hundred thousand less. ??? ???

The complexity of some of these watches like a tourbillion is crazy,so many little moving parts.Id say more complex than a Ferrari.i mean think of how tiny all those moving parts are?Also the name adds a lot of value and the limited production of such watches.

I see where you’re coming from, but can you imagine all the small parts that also go into making a Ferrari, as well as so many other parts. But I don’t shit about either so I could be totally wrong.
-
How do you even tell the time with that mess? Some people have more money than brains.
-
"hey, check out my watch"..... or "hey, check out my Dodge Demon"..... some morons would choose the watch....
not a moron since the watch cost probaby 10 times more than the car
-
I’m a watch fanatic,it is my one addiction.Absolutely love them.I only have one watch at a time as I can’t see having watches I can’t wear so one at a time for me.
Like I’ve said before some people like cars,boats,bikes,houses etc... that stuff does nothing for me but a watch gets me excited.I don’t wear fancy clothes either just a watch.

Got me, never been a high end watch guy. I'd constantly be in a state of worry if I had something even a 20th of the cost on my wrist.
Here's another Stallone watch -

Rob you think this is more complex than an Apple watch?

Rob you think this is more complex than an Apple watch?
Apple Watches lose value far quicker. Just like the iPhone X versionswill be replaced by a newer iPhone, the Apple Watch will be replaced by another more updated one. A Tag Heuer Monaco like the one Steve McQueven wore in the movie “Le Mans” has changed very little to the Monaco Calibre 11 of today.
And then you have that Richard Mille watch, which complicated, just because they can do that. And its a million dollars.

Whatever happened to Big_ache? he was all about the time pieces

The problem with high end watches is all the counterfeiting going on through China. China will make a cheap Rolex counterfeit and an expensive Rolex counterfeit. So many guys are buying up all these fake high end watches for $3K over the internet then they brag they have a $20K watch. In actuality they have a 2 K watch that they paid 3k for. I was listening to a jeweler talk about how these watches coming to him for either repair or band adjustments. He said some are really good counterfeits and some are really bad. He said a competent guy in the business can tell because they have their methods.
I wear with dress clothes a $200 dollar watch and I wonder why? We all have phones. Truth be told the only watch I really enjoy is my GPS running watch.

Oh I know. I was just trolling.
I was at a baby shower over the summer and some guys there were talking watches and the best high end watches to get and this dude who was a personal trainer said that an apple watch has to be consider as a legit option.
He was serious.

Not a fan of Richard Mille or hublot, seems to be the rave with the younger “millionaires”
Prefer patek, panerai or even AP

Just the fact that you can recognize these types of watches puts you on a whole different level. My cousin is a watch salesman and I'm going to show him this pic this weekend and see if he recognizes it. He works for Ben Bridges (sp?).

Hahahahaha yup.men should not wear digital watches.Just my thinking but I could never do it.

does not look practical , too many visible parts and decorations

I've always liked Breitling's. 72hr power reserve in the Chronomat 44 is nice too.
Pilot bracelet is the most comfortable I have ever worn.

How much for the monthly lease payments? ;D

Expensive watches are for absolute fagggots. It's somewhere between "jewelry for men" and "collecting Funko POP."
I understand things that serve a purpose and can be fun, like cars. But to spend that kind of money on a gay piece of useless jewelry?

I'm not as big into watches as I used to be but It's like anything else one might like/collect. I wish I kept the first Rolex watches I purchased they would be worth a tidy sum now.

Expensive watches are like any other expensive item if it Your $ and you like said items you buy them.
Goes for any expensive items - be they cars / motorbikes / paintings / houses / clothes / shoes etc
I get it’s not your thing only each their own.
Also expensive is relative to how much $ wealth you have.

Fixed
I have a buddy who thinks he knows about watches. Just got his first tag but other than that owns about 15 $200 watches. I don’t understand his fascination with watches because he knows so little about them. I bet he couldn’t even tell what this Mille watch brand was. Rolex is about all he knows. I need to get him a “watches for dummies” book so he can get up to speed.

luxury watches are just like cars
terrible investments. Starts diminishing in value once it leaves the manufacturer. Once you used it for a year or two and it has signs of wear here and there it's already half of purchase value

I only buy Rolex and Rolex watches don’t really depreciate.It is the only brand that doesn’t.I have never lost a dime on a Rolex.Most recently I bout a Rolex sd43 and paid 11000 it’s selling for 12.5-14k allday everyday.I bought a Rolex 116520 a few years ago for 10500 and wore it for a year and sold it for 11500.If you buy used you almost never lose and if you buy the right model new you won’t lose either.pretty much all other watches lose value but not Rolex.Also if you are buying them to wear rhebare not investmensts.

That is completly false and they do depreciate alot, Rolex or any of the high end ones.
Buying luxury watches is for people who live in luxury and can afford to waste money on things like this without sacrificing future economical security.
Besides if you are in the position to buy a luxury watch you wouldn't or shouldn't care about depreciating value. If you do you are a poser wearing a watch you can't really rationalize.

I buy and sell Rolex weekly,it’s part of my income and if you knew Rolex like I do you would know you don’t know what you are talking about.
Try finding a Rolex 116500 at an authorized dealer and you will pay around 13.2-13.5 with tax the watch came out in 2016 and is still selling grey market for 20k everyday and will be selling for close to that for years.Or but a Rolex 116610lv for around 9500 and you can resell allday for 12k,or 116710blnr for around 9500 and you can get 11500 allday,or 116710pepsi for 10k and you can resell for 16-18k.Or 116610ln for 9k and you can resell for 10k.this is a passion of mine and i know Rolex and prices like the back of my hand.Rolex is a very stable in price you don’t lose unless buying undesirable models brand new such as Rolex 116400 milgauss,Rolex 126300 djii.

What you're not telling is that you only buy the models that are popular/trendy for the time being, and that you only buy the one in prestine condition that hardly even has been worn. That is 10-20% of the Rolexes on the used market. Don't lie.

I only buy sports models.Sports models for the most part don’t lose and I’m talking subs,sd43,sd4k,deep seas,gmt master ii and Daytona’s.new in box,lnib or used.
Not lying and I’ve forgotten more about Rolex in the last 10 minutes than you have ever known so don’t try to tell me what you think you know.

Thank you sir.I spend hours daily mainly at night in bed looking for watche sto But and resell and I always stop anytime I pass a Rolex authorizes dealer cause if you can get a hot watch at retail you will make good money fast.Ive been passionate about Rolex for along time and have studied them in depth.

Right now Rolex seems to be holding back on dealers.
They know how to keep the prices up for sure! I purchased a fat lady gmt pretty cheap along with a sub when I got out of the military. They used to have them at px's. Those are two I wish I held onto.
The new sea dweller (red) is near impossible to find and 13k on watch recon (resale).

I only have one watch at a time that is mine now as I wouldn’t be able to decide what to wear and I don’t like that much money sitting around tied up.So I buy and sell quick and always have one Rolex to wear,but if I had multiple I would of cours give Vince one.

I have a few very cheap watches but never wear any of them because I now find out what time it is by looking at my cell phone.
But I'll betcha that Stallone paid nada for that expensive watch and .... just because he has one and wears one, that watch company will sell hundred's more.
Numerous companies 'donate' expensive gift packages to Acadamy Award presenters/contenders each year which add up to several thousand dollars worth of trips, watches, jewelry, etc. and thereby reap the benefits that result simply because that "star" has one, wears one, or is going there.
I received a box of popcorn once but I was miles away from the Dolby Theater where a family member lost an Oscar ... but the film in which he had participated had earlier won the Palm d' Or.
But he didn't get shit, cept for a standing ovation.
That's the equivalent of receiving the Acadamy's best picture award, but it occurs someplace in France if I recall correctly.
Some good GetBiggers think I speak dishonestly when I write his shit, but I ain't!

Just like jewelry and sports cars. Two best days in a Porsche's owners life; the day he buys it and the day he sells it.

If it was $40 at Walmart it would be a rather bulky, ugly watch. Put a big price tag on it, it becomes awesome.

I buy and sell Rolex weekly,it’s part of my income and if you knew Rolex like I do you would know you don’t know what you are talking about.
Try finding a Rolex 116500 at an authorized dealer and you will pay around 13.2-13.5 with tax the watch came out in 2016 and is still selling grey market for 20k everyday and will be selling for close to that for years.Or but a Rolex 116610lv for around 9500 and you can resell allday for 12k,or 116710blnr for around 9500 and you can get 11500 allday,or 116710pepsi for 10k and you can resell for 16-18k.Or 116610ln for 9k and you can resell for 10k.this is a passion of mine and i know Rolex and prices like the back of my hand.Rolex is a very stable in price you don’t lose unless buying undesirable models brand new such as Rolex 116400 milgauss,Rolex 126300 djii.
You are correct!

I have never heard of Mille watches before reading this post and I find it interesting that anyone would pay this much for someting just to tell you the time of day.
Here are some Mille watches in which I forsee some difficulty when you want to know what time it is .... if you owned one!
-
Two more Millies!
I wonder if a Mickey Mouse Millie is available?

You would need a degree in mechanical engineering to understand the damn thing. Why does anyone need a compass on a watch? I've only used a compass twice in life in the Boy Scouts and USMC. If I need to know which direction to go I look at the sun.

I've just never been able to understand the allure that some individuals have towards expensive watches. People tend to evaluate watches as if they're jewelry. Get a fucking bracelet; why even bother with a bulky watch if you're only concerned with bling factor? A watch is for keeping time, a bracelet is for show.
A Bentley won't get you to work any faster than a Toyota, in traffic.
A hundred bucks is generous, IMO.

What would you wear that would make that watch look good anyway? Can you imagine showing up to a formal dinner wearing a suit and a camouflage watch? ::)

I’m a watch person
Only them watches are horrible- far to much going on with face to be able to tell the time.
Just because they are expensive- doesn’t automatically mean there nice.

Yes true enough.
Only we all like & spend our $ on different things
It don’t make one right & one wrong.
I don’t understand why pot holeing or jumping out of perfectly good aeroplanes & many other things.

If you read the article on the watch, it is supposedly for the fictional John Rambo character. And that is where the compass comes into play. As well as other design aspects. Now why would Rambo wear a million dollar watch in the woods is question all in itself.What would you wear that would make that watch look good anyway? Can you imagine showing up to a formal dinner wearing a suit and a camouflage watch? ::)
This watch is not a formal watch, so wearing it with a suit shows that that wearer wants the attention on the watch. Because, if you look at people who wrap their exotic cars in camo, it’s to gain more attention, not to hide from it. In today’s world, camo is often used to stand out, not to blend in.

Sly's watch looks more like something Geoffrey the Giraffe would wear more than a watch connoisseur.

Just like the majority of the public won’t understand putting on oil, wearing a thong and prance on stage shaking your booty while having striated glutes, all while pumping your fists to get the crowd to cheer you on
“Raise the roof”
“Look at those cuts on his glutes”
“Wait until he turns around”
-
Pssst .... How about I sell you this one for $283.
No questions asked!
-
PsssT.... Or this one for $500?
Choose your color ... White, red, or green!
And maybe even purple!

It’s funny that there are 1:1 reps out there and pretty much no one would know the difference but as a watch lover fakes just don’t cut it as the watch is for me not for someone else so knowing it’s fake just wouldn’t work.

You've picked the right site bro.
A $500 watch is either cheap or expensive depending on who you are. $500 in the hands of even the most inexperienced schmoe, pre/post contest, will yield incredible results.

A friend sent me a fake ROLEX once that he found in some little kiosk in New York (Canal St???) and it looked pretty damn authentic to me ....
So I asked a real ROLEX owner to tell me if he could ID its authenticity without touching it.
And he immediate said. "It's fake .... beause the minute hand goes around in little jumps, but my real one rotates smoothly."
"Otherwise , from a distance it liiks pretty good."
PS .... At the real ROLEX store near Rodeo Drive in LA, it would cost you something like $300 just to have it cleaned.
You enter a huge room with your dirty ROLEX and walk to the far end (it's a big room) where one secretary type lady sits at a fancy desk awaiting your inquirey.
"Mt Rolex is dirty!"
Then you place it on a silver tray while she does some typing on her Apple computer and a very well-dressed gentleman suddenly appears and carries that silver tray on which rests your dirty ROLEX and disappears just as suddenly into some well concealed cleaning room.
In this case visiting hours wee not available so we had to return 2 days later and pick it up. It looked brand new and even had a new glass 'cover' because the dirty one hs a scratch on it which was unseeable and which I thought was impossible.
And a bill for $300.
Can you ROLEX owners confirm that $300 cleaning price or was he taken to the 'cleaners"? Or do I not remember correctly as this occured about 15 years ago.
And has anyone else ever been in that Rodeo Drive Rolex store?
And what's the price to clean a MILLIE?

I think you're referring to this boutique.

A "cleaning" is a full service which includes the movement. Your friend may have just had a crystal replacement, pressure test and polish (based on the price). Depending on what needs tone done a service which includes regulation can be $800 and up.

WALT, Thanks! Now that you mentioned "CRYSTAL", I think that is exactly what was replaced ...... with no cleaning necesessary.
But prior to that visit .. I hd always thought ROLEX "crystals" were scratch-proof.

Your friend may have had an older Rolex with an acrylic crystal which scratches far more easily than the presently used sapphire.
The acrylic crystals can be polished; however, in some cases the scratches can be too deep or the crystal is cracked.

Are there any watches that are made exclusively for blind people!?

WALT, That ROLEX with the scratched crystal was purchased about 15 years ago. Would that qualify as an 'older model'?
The owner did a lot of boxing and seldom removed his watch while training so I assume he 'damaged' his Rolex some-how while ....... yada, yada, yada.
Is the word 'crystal' the correct terminoogy for all wrist-watches or just a ROLEX term?
Anyone here ever gotten a military-issued watch while on active duty? That watch looked like it came in a cereal box and cost $1.95 but it kept good time and glowed in the dark, but I don't recall if it was water-proof.
Anyone still got one!?

Sounds like it would still be sapphire and yes crystal is a generic term.
Back in day you could buy Rolex's at px's but we were not issued watches. My nephews who served more recently wore G Shocks.
