I like the green bezel. Black face and green bezel would be good; blue bezel with black face even better.Jay-me wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2024 11:24 amAll black would look ace. I’m not sure with the green tbhDaveE wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2024 10:33 am @Jay-me it's always great when people achieve something they've been wanting for a while - so congrats on that
Seeing your Sinn reminded me that I saw a Rolex Submariner "hulk" in black PVD the other day
I'm not a fan, but I can see how it could be appealing to others
It was used, and £19k (box + papers)

Funnily enough, it was Whizz Watches that had the PVD HulkJohn wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2024 11:56 amDid you have a nosey in Whizz Watch? I bought my Grand Seiko from them via ebay.DaveE wrote: ↑Sun Mar 10, 2024 10:55 am Something I noticed while wandering around in Brighton yesterday was how many Rolexes (and other luxury watch brands) there were in all the second hand jewellers (compared to a couple of years ago)
During the Covid and post-Covid boom, there just wasn't the stock, but now, every shop seemed to have a good selection
A favourite jeweller of mine had 6+ Subs (out of probably 20+ Rolexes - mostly the in-demand steel/sports models)
There's definitely a big change in the market that's now really easy to see on the 'high street'

Re: The Watches Thread
Chris Ward released a new skeleton today "The Twelve X".
I reckon it's a good looking movement (their in-house SH21), but I'm not a fan of skeletons in general - I need to be able to read the time at a glance - not hunt for the hands.
Like the Bel Canto - big money for the brand at over £4k (on the bracelet).

Re: The Watches Thread
The very Gérald Genta looking case and bracelet are at odds with the overall thickness for me
The top-down view says "this is a thin watch" but the profile is way too thick IMO...
