Oh, I am so glad this thread got reopened.

I don't have any popcorn but I have beer so shift up so I can sit down, it's gonna get good again I'm sure

Well if I had any doubts before the last few pages have convinced me that it's time to sell all my Rolex's and buy a few more less desirable watches

Relax. There must be some Rolex owners that aren't knobbers.

Just checked the calendar it’s a year since I was interviewed / assessed / expressed an interest for a Polar Explorer, a watch I’ve fancied for a while as I’d love a GMT watch. Will my phone ever ring? Who knows, my sub date is the perfect do it all watch which just looks right in every situation so should I continue to wait or think sod it and use the 8 grand on something else…….

Could buy a used one for 8k or close to it.

Very true, grey is circa 9.5-10 k for a new one but I wouldn’t feel comfortable buying via that route. It’s new or nothing for me personally but I fully understand others may feel differently.

Just had a look on watch collecting and a 2022 Sub no date went for £9000 + fees.

There must be a growing list of models that a dealer wouldn’t offer RRP on now.

I’m slowly selling mine. Only a DJ and SD to go.

He’s a H neck

Interesting; based on your specified indeterminate article, the correct pronunciation appears to be "haitch - neck".

Every day's a school day.

That's nice work. Boastful and cringey at the same time, not always an easy combo to pull off.

Thanks! I have to say it took me a bit to think what to put for the best results, but looks like it worked.
