What time is it? Watches and horology

Discontinuing the OP39 was unexpected. The white one was actually the only rolex i was considering. Black and white dials have only been in production for two years, lets watch their prices rise now.

I wonder which watch brand has won the most Tour stages?

Probably Garmin or Polar...

Good choice!

blue sub is cool. although i feel that is a bit of an NPC opinion

<3 Thanks.

Coincidentally, I'm wearing a Casio Garmin today :p

NPC opinion

Going to adopt this term, love it.

Non-playing character?

yep

very unpopular opinion but i think subs are just a bit NPC in general. the most obvious luxury watch somebody could buy

of course I still think they are great watches with a fantastic heritage/story, just could never own/buy one [/hater]

edit: and i really mean no offense to anyone who owns one. i can completely understand why people buy them

Thought you meant there was no chance of you getting one, hence non-playing.

this

also true !

I am a bit confused by the never owing one thing.
My business partner walked into Goldsmiths Cabot Bristol, walked out with Sub, last summer I believe it was. Brand new, they held the papers until last week as I believe they aren't allowed to hold them anymore.
No wait list, hadn't expressed any interest previously. I'm sure thats very rare though.

Luck of the draw. Right time right place.

google the wait time on them and youll see theyre like a decade now.

I guess so. They are quoting 6 - 18months at the moment for GMT's

Cant say these are good looking....

That blue sub is very bright!

PCL! POC!

Quite like the yellow one. Not something I imagine you'd ever get, unless you already had a less lairy looking rolex though.

I like the orange and yellow OPs.

Not sure about the blue.

I'd take the sub if I could buy one at RRP. But I cannot, so no, no blue sub pls.

Those OPs look like cheap Seiko 5 models from the 70’s

Wow now that's a real tank. Looks like something from a cyberpunk film's costume trunk. Is this what's going on?

Crazy stuff. I'm getting too old and out of touch.

The OP's look like a bit of fun but they're very much not at the "fun" price bracket (for me anyway). I assume they're going to be the ones you have to buy first if you want to buy a nice Rolex.

Yellow is nice.

I know they are different styles of watch, but those Rolex just shout late 90s TImefactors to me.
