No, find another AD. Vanilla DJ’s should be little or no wait these days. Even a sub shouldn’t take more than a few months.

It’s tough. They make great watches and the bracelets are some of the best imo in the 7-10k price range

They’re full of sh*t and trying to grasp at the demand of 2 yrs ago. You can get a date just easily at most. Just walk in and be friendly, let them know what you’re interested in and be patient. But 1 year?? No way

Not sure how else to build something from scratch.

Has anyone seen Omega’s new Seamaster? Thoughts?

Why would a luxury watch brand make/sell connected or smart watches? What is the business reason for it? To me it just kills the brand value.

What is your opinion on this topic?

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?
