I think the Gary story really highlights why EVERY Rolex AD needs to have EVERY model available for customers to try on. Even if they are only shell models that don’t have a functional movement. It is difficult to know how a watch will wear from pictures on the internet…and to wait for years to get one only to find out that you don’t love it in the metal is a shame.

That whole comment about money was so spot on. We ( as many people ) will justify that dinner or the new jacket or shoes or whatever smaller purchase, but when a big ticket item that they really want, and could get if they just didn’t spread their money out, could be achieved if they prioritized their spend. That’s really it. I like that I collected things when I was younger, but now, I’m moving all that along, because of space and clutter and I just don’t need all the stuff, and I want to prioritize my spend.

Excellent video! I had the opportunity to buy the PP 3711 NiB from WEMPE Hamburg back in 2001 for around 12.000 euro (13.000$) but my first son had just been born and it was my first year at WOSTEP (Watchmakers of Switzerland Training and Education Program) so priorities had to be made. I kept my 16610 and figured "I´ll get that one once I graduate instead". Well that never happened and my god the advice in todays show about skipping all that other fluff like dinners, weekend trips, new rims, shirts and stuff is oh so true. Just get THE WATCH cause it´s the only thing you´ll always love and never regret.

Completely off topic. These Egard watch commercials crack me up. They pose the question, something like: 'how do you feel when you get an Egard watch?' I'm like, if I got one, I'd feel one of three things. 1. The person who got if for me isn't paying attention 2. The person who got it for me just doesn't like me. 3 I'm being pranked...

I probably was over 20 watches at my "worst".... from watches with crooked numbers to the left of the comma down to a Timex my daughter got me for birthday. I am now to the point that if I don't wear them, I feel like I should offload them. I can't just stare at a watch in a box or case, I have to wear it. This is why I change my watch 8 times a day when I'm home like some sort of weirdo lol. Great show as usual.

I gotta disagree on the sizing of complete calendars. I have a 1948 Leonidas triple date moonphase in 35mm and it's not the easiest thing in the world to read. By comparison, I have an Eterna "1948" moonphase chrono in 40mm that is much easier to read even with the 2 chrono + sub seconds dials. Hands play a part in that but the size is important.

I'm nice to ADs as well, not as nice as Gary, but nice. Thing is though, I enjoy talking watches, I'm friendly, and I enjoy the hunt. So I go in person to ADs within a day's drive, talk watches, put in my request, check in once in awhile. I started doing this in May after my AD wasn't getting me anything. I had three Rolex I wanted, and this weekend, I'll pick up the third one. Picked up my first Rolex ever in July, my second one last month. I never bought a thing from either AD that has come through for me before these pieces. Being genuine and nice can work. Admittedly, I've been very lucky, and I get that.

Moonphase? I have an Omega Speedmaster moonphase. I think it is mesmerizing to look at the moon (esp. the full moon) and even at Omegas moon that is very photo realistic. What I think is unnecessary is a month display, who doesn’t know what month it is. And even a perpetual calendar is unnecessary, it is not a problem to set the date five times a year.
@cookingwithchauhan19242 жыл бұрын
The chase is always cool, then you are underwhelmed as you achieve your goal. Then you put your watch way, then you wear it again after a month. Then you realise why you bought it and you get sense of warmth all over. Time always reminds you why you wanted the watch in the first place.
