Let’s see those watches

[David Simerly]

A quick one I just grabbed. I've had this Enduro 2 as my daily driver for just over 3 years now. It's going strong, I don't plan on replacing it anytime soon. It's not as classy as a lot of the offerings shown here, but it's mine. In the background Bronco BF African Ranger on my foot.

I’m with ya. I probably would have sold it even prior to peak of $50k . Age old dilemma. Has it reached its peak or will it continue to climb? Hindsight 20/20 and only way to find out peak is riding it out, sometimes blowing past peak and caught on the decline.

I do think they continue to climb in value. BUT, the asset is more illiquid because fewer and fewer folks are in the market for a vintage timepiece now vs. 2019 / 2020. So, finding the right buyer @ the right price is harder.

And, for anything at that price you'd need a broker to setup the sale, and the'll want margin.

All said, there are a few guys in New York that have client lists of folks constantly looking for the oldies. Tuscanyrose, John or James Buckley.

They post stuff on YouTube - guys come in with what they think are "special" ref. Submariners and the guy John or James, absolutely smokes them - wrong, dial, hands are different, band isn't right - it's confusing. But, they clearly know their shit.

I can’t have nice watches I just bang them up. This is just a seiko mod but it works well and looks pretty good to my eye.

I really like the MOD style mod. Excellent choice.

I wouldn't be able to wear that to Africa. I'd be afraid somebody would rob me. I have a beer budget but I still think I would get robbed or lose it.

Am I wrong? Paranoid?

Anyway, beautiful watch and definitely on my list of "nice to haves."

Finally picked up my first Rolex. Won’t be my last. I think with a purchase like these, specific years marking significant moments in life are important to me. Years my wife and I married, or children were born will be what I keep my eye on. Curious if anyone else feels similar or if it’s just “take it when you get the call”?

14060M. A gift from my dad. My first Rolex was a 14000M Air King, also a gift from my dad. He called me out of the blue one day and asked if I would be willing to give the Air King back. Without hesitation I brought the watch back to him. In return he presents me with the Sub (Pic #2). The only catch was I had to pay the service invoice to Rolex to get it fixed. Best $1,400 I’ve ever spent. It never leaves my wrist. The plan is for this Sub to go to my oldest son and my dad’s Sub to go to my youngest son (Pic #3).

I knew a guy that was really into the Russian watches. He was my watch mentor if tou will This was long before all the recent unpleasantness.

This is a solid watch.

This Casio watch isn’t much to look at, and by no means is an expensive piece. That being said it’s held its own taking on the harsh conditions of a few summers in the northern Alberta forests fighting wildfires and the abuse of 4 years of daily wear in construction. While I save up to one day buy a higher end timepiece like those posted in this forum, this one has served me pretty well.

Nothing wrong with Casio, or Seiko, or any of the other everyday take a licking and keep on ticking watches...

This dude is exactly right. A watch that works is all the watch you really need. Some Casios/Seikos will last longer than a handful of the luxury watch brands.
