dude i was 99% of the way to a roulette dial and other shizzz… it’s a problem…lol
but seriously, having someone like Matt available for good work at a reasonable price makes this stuff more accessible. i wouldnt have done it if i needed to bring it to a local guy.
i think i’m done for a while at this point. just bought a new house.
*edit… practical reason for doing this is that you can instantly verify the Rolex movement inside the watch as a way to countering any notion of it being a fake. yes there are great fakes out there that replicate the movements as well but those are very rarer than the real thing anyways
I’ve been wearing Rolex watches for years and have never had anyone accuse me of them being fakes, ever. (Not to mention, if someone can’t look at a Rolex and tell you if it’s real, having them look at the movement isn’t going to matter, as they are idiots) You’re right, there are great replicas that also replicate movements, they are worth about as much as a real one with an aftermarket crystal caseback installed, lol. <3
I am not a watch nut like many of you guys, so I have to get that out of the way first… But I really enjoy this thread and looking at every ones pieces.
When I first met Xander he introduced me Tag Heuer as he had an older Tag at that time. Wanting to be just as cool I had to get one too. So once I started making some “decent money” as a kid, I treated myself to the Tag Kirium model seen below. I have worn that watch every day for 16 years; it looks like it has been through a war now, but amazingly the crystal is still major scratch free somehow.
Well after 16 years the watch is looking a bit outdated/small and it was time for something new. Having such good luck with my previous Tag I purchased another one as a Christmas present to myself. Once again another watch I feel I can wear with anything and wear every day, let’s hope this one too makes it just as long…
pics weren’t working on my phone of that Tag… that is the best watch Tag makes… always liked it and considered buying it when one was on sale at the local AD but it wasn’t dissimilar enough from my speedy… great choice.
