Yeah I have all of that. 2 years old. Has about 2 years worth of wear on it I guess.

WUS = watchuseek ???

Think my price expectation is reasonable?

I think your price expectation is a bit on the high side but not unreasonable. Brand new grey market is 2k. I think you probably end up selling it for 1100 to 1200.

Introducing The Tudor North Flag, With Tudor's First In-House Movement (Live Photos, Specs, Pricing) [hodinkee.com]

Still, I haven't gotten to the best part of this whole project yet. The Tudor North Flag will retail for $3,550 on the strap, and $3,675 on bracelet. Yup, you're paying next to no premium for the in-house calibers versus the ETA movements you'd find in existing Tudors. This, friends, is a total game-changer.

Pelagos has long been my favorite Tudor. This seems a steal at $4400.

If you like the Rainbow Daytona but feel like $70k is just a little ridiculous, well, you may be in luck.

Okay Guys, I need your help, You've seen the new Magrette I just got, and it came with a black leather strap that's very nice, as well as a similar tan strap. You've seen the black strap a few posts up.

I also wanted a rubber strap, and because getting a black one seemed redundant and too similar to the black leather strap, I decided to try something different and bought this strap from Hirsch:

What do you guys think? Does this work? I like it as a casual wear, where I'd switch to the black or tan for work/going out. But be honest, because the strap cost ~$150, and if it doesn't work, I'll send it back.

wat

18 hours is pretty ****ing long for a smartwatch

seriously, TAG should kill it in the smartwatch market. people who have money and are only sortof vaguely aware of watches as "nice" things and who want a smartwatch pretty much all think TAG is the ****.

The idea of buying a "high-end" smartwatch is pretty ****ing terrible for the types of people who are reading this thread, who are thinking of watch purchases in generational time frames. The general public isn't like this at all.

just because other smart watches suck ass doesnt mean 18 is good because it has an apple on it.

just makes it feel like a toy that tells time, for part of the day at least
