Newbie question... do bands on expensive watches last forever? Or do you typically replace them after a period of time?

Modern Rolex ones will last. Older Rolexes with hollow center links are prone to “stretch” but can be restored

likehelpful

I had my Rolex Pepsi circa 1969 hollow center bracelet restored recently from Rolliworks, based in Miami. I looked forever to find someone who would repair it because it’s such a pain, but once I found them and got it back I was super happy with the result. Highly recommend if anyone is looking to go through the rebuild process.

Nothing lasts forever, but a steel bracelet on a watch will last a long long time

Leather, crocodile, rubber straps will all wear out over time, but steel and precious metal bracelets will last a long time as others have said.

Steel will generally last a very long time. When it eventually becomes worn, it can usually be repaired.

Any advice is appreciated!

Excited that the new Calatrava exists! I think the PP price premium is crazy and I don’t like hobnail bezels, so would never purchase. But even so, I’m happy PP cares about putting out a respectable dress watch and enjoyed reading about it / the new movement. The old Calatrava with a 21mm movement and closed case back felt really lazy...

New piece for the birthday - I’m really interested in how many of these entry-level makers are stepping up their game.

From an aesthetics perspective I love it and I also appreciate that they use in-house movements. But from a business perspective I wonder if this brand and price point make sense?

Newbie question. When you see watches on display in window shops can you actually just walk in and purchase them? E.g. I’ve heard before that you need to be approved to buy a Patek.

I know you can do it for brands like Omega, but wondering if you can also just walk in and buy a Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, A Lange Sohne, etc. without knowing the dealer beforehand.
