What’s the deal with Ap sports models? Are they hard to get too?


Not particularly but they are still somewhat of an "it" watch with celebrities and that seems to support a fairly robust secondary market. AP has a ton of RO and ROO models and outside of ones that get lots of attention, they aren't hard to find at retail. You can easily get the rather sedate 15450s for retail. Now the older non-"jumbo" versions can be had for a song comparatively which follows through to Patek as well.

Nice! My father in law has a 5146R (at least that is what I think it is). I'm not really in that level of the game at this point in my life, but the Lange 1815 annual calendar looks every bit as pretty for around $5k less.



Meanwhile, I'm pissed that I put a small scratch on the face of a Citizen Promaster Diver last week.

You can easily swap out the Jubilee bands, the root pens that connect the case are the same size. Did you believe vans are primarily paired with bands the white gold fluted bezel datejust but you can always swap them out with the GMT or the sub

"Everywhere" cheap digital watches of all sorts have now become nerd accouterment. You can get the classics Casio CA53W-1 for under $20 online and $25-35 local.

I thought they placed the pin holes in different locations?

The GMT II is nice, especially in the 2 tone blue and red. I’m also liking the Millgauss, IWC Portugieser with white face and blue hands. Splurge would be the Breguet marine 5817 with blue on white.

It's a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date (no idea if that's a good Rolex or the cheapest one). It's two toned. Gold and silver maybe? Platinum? No idea - like I said, don't wear or know anything about jewelery. It's got the number dial. I can send a pic if you're interested.

I have shown pictures of my collection here before and it is worth conservatively $500k so exactly how retarded is someone in your world that has that sort of disposable income?

What’s retarded is giving two shites about how another man chooses to spend his own money.

Heuer Autavia Siffert (or Orange Boy) if you can find one. If not, any Autavia reissue or vintage. Only watch in that price range I’d consider outside of a Rolex or Omega Speedmaster.

Autavia Siffert:
