Watch Crew: What to buy?

i have a feeling there are basically no Oris reps out there.

besides, it’s actually really easy to tell a rep… they feel like shit other than some reps of Rolex etc. but even then you can usually tell.

just buy from a reputable seller… lots of good Oris’s on ebay and WUS… same with Hamilton for a first foray into swiss autos.

X2 :like:

This applies, if you ever held one of these watches in your hand and have hands on experience. I don’t have any hands on time with these watches, so I will go to a local authorized seller and get info there. mostly likely I eventually will buy online, but right now just going to do a lot of research until i’m comfortable with dropping the DOLLA DOLLA BILLS without seeing an item in person

Thinking of buying my first seiko.

have you never bought used car parts on the internet? It’s really no different. Most people buy wheels on the internet for more than I paid for my watch. I’ve had it for quite some time now. I wear it every day and I still love looking at it. Seriously, hit up watchuseek.com and find any automatic Hamilton/Oris that you like the looks of and can afford. The sellers there are true timepiece enthusiasts.

lol I totally get where you are coming from and in fact, I predicted one of you guys will relate this to used car parts. although what you are saying is true, I don’t completely agree with it. but what I will do though, is join watchuseek.com and try to get a second hand watch there. thanks for the tip :slight_smile:

That is a lot of bling for bing. Did you pick it up?
I have a gold/sliver Rolex and very rarely wear it mainly formal occasions.

That is not my cup of tea. I’ve been getting much more into rolex lately though.

Holy shit Bing. Was their a heinous watch convention in town?

That watch is utterly worthless. Not that I’m sure the guy who can afford it cares, but it’s literally ruined.

it’s not mine, i just picked it up for one of my partners yesterday.

i did size it for myself and wear it around all day though. Sam it’s not my cup of tea either. i can think of a few better ways to spend $30k+

Beck, you’re being too harsh, i suspect out of remorse that you didn’t think of it first :slight_smile:

again, not my style either but i understand why people buy these things. Afterall, Rolex makes watches like this in their regular line up now because there are so many people out there that are rich and bored and just want you to know that they are rich and bored.

It’s the Christian Audiger crowd but with real money… or asians… fukking asians.

Rolex isn’t making those watches. Some hack is.

Those bezels are just really terrible and ghetto.

It’s like those ass holes that put NATO straps on their Submariners.

Umadbro!!!

I like NATO straps.

maybe he meant rubber straps on submariners since i’m dailying mine like that

I like that black Rolex for sure, but the gold makes it look a lil bit ghetto. =(

Rubber b strap looks good to me, too.

Rolex has been offering diamond bezels on datejusts for years Beck.

I don’t get why you’re being so weird about it.

COmpletely agree whether it’s $30 or $30,000, it’s ugly as sin.

I was referring to PVD’ed cases. Also, those bezels are most defintely aftermarket. They offer, nicer looking diamond bezels on some models…yes.

I don’t mind the everest band.

It’s all just really ghetto.

It’s like chroming your Ferrari 458 wheels, spraying your calipers purple and smoking out the headlights and tail lights.
