Yes, but it came with me on the front end of the trip as well.

What y'all think of this watch?



Oh I am learning the Rolex watch market is such a game. If you can buy one new through Rolex you can turn around and sell it for 20% more. So wait 1-3 years or pay more now.

I think it looks good but also just another flavor of the "octogonal bezel, integrated bracelet" watch breed.

GP are fantastic watches for the money, an under the radar gem.

I like the look, but they wear really big at >50mm lug to lug. For the same price range with a similar style that doesn't wear like a dinner plate, I'd look at the IWC Ingenieur.

I actually bought one of these two days ago. The new 42mm black ceramic one.

Saw it in the window and thought it was awesome.

Sure, I'll be back in town tomorrow and will take a pic. I think I have 15 or so in Houston. The rest are up in Abu Dhabi.

Congrats, you'll love it.

I bought one of the 40mm when they came out a few years ago, allegedly got the first white dial in TX. I still enjoy it and it's probably my second most common wear.

I really like the ingenieur but the 40mm wears small and I just couldn't pull it off, but at 42mm and 50mm lug to lug it's perfect for a large wrist. I've always been interested in the all ceramic pieces as well

Going straight into the deep end. If you're just getting started, I'd suggest finding what size/styles you like. There are lots of options that are less expensive to start and get a better idea of what you really like, then you can splurge on your first high end watch (seems like it's always a first, never a last).

Honestly, I'm just learning. Been enjoying the NYC hustlers on YouTube and their knowledge of watches....

We grew up with nothing and I'm out of my depth and domain. Who knows if I'll even splurge on anything but I am enjoying the learning process.

That being said.... I'm digging the Daytona.... The Daytona Ghost looks particularly cool.

Then get that. Why not dive in? It's not like Daytonas are going out of style.

If you go Daytona as your first high end watch, you are basically hitting the cycle with your first at bat.

This would be memorable.

Learning about watches is alot of the fun! Once you know a bit about watches, you can pick them out both in person and on TV and totally judge them on it (kidding, kind of).

I would suggest this, you need to try the watch on. See it in the metal so to speak. There are certain watches that you would swear you would like, you don't once it gets on your wrist. Others, sing to you.

If you know what you want and can afford it, go for it. Don't let other's limitations of taste and budget limit you.

I need to update my username to "want a Daytona" since I still haven't secured one. I would be highly jealous if you get that for watch number 1
