We know you are a TRF'er, you can continue to keep your confidentiality

BUT

Thank you for making the "hard to get pieces" harder

Still has some stickers on his Daytona clasp!

Pet peeve of mine but I can't stand it when people call the white DaytonaC a "panda". It's not a panda!

No surprises on his list. Below for those who don't want to watch him say "collection" in French for 30 minutes:
1. 116500 White DaytonaC
2. Nautilus 5711-1a
3. Royal Oak Jumbo 15202ST
4. 126710 BLRO GMT
5. 116610LV Sub (why would he put that bright red RubberB on a LV?!?!)
6. 126710 BLNR GMT

How about it!! To me calling a 116500-white a Panda is akin to calling a Pepsi a Coke. Do like him though and has a cool collection

Thank you! I prefer not to watch for 30 minutes when I can read in 20 seconds.

Yes. Much thanks. This guy is definitely an “AD case” collector. Well, AD cases of yesterday. Cases are bare today.

You know what they say about opinions...everyone has a YouTube video

Yeah, that was rediculous. Also referencing Chrono24 isn’t hyper accurate.

I have a dinner with him tonight. I'll be sure and let him know that it's not a true panda. And since I'll appropriately be wearing my personal white dial Daytona he might just take me seriously. More than likely though, he wont care...

Says he paid $13k for the Daytona

Not after you take the "relationship" into account

I thought he said that too.. maybe he should learn the correct terminology and pronunciation and stop putting red bands on watches.

and didn't he do a great job of destroying the look of his collection with those red straps

And what was that weird faux french word he said every 10 seconds.

I had to turn it off after 4 minutes. For someone who claim he loves fashion... that suit is 2 size too big, slouching off the shoulders, and he needs to learn how to properly secure a tie... and the comment about 500C as a panda, oh brother...

Ha! Agreed. Didn't say anything in my initial post about that because I didn't want to sound too snarky...but now that you mention it. There is nothing fashionable about that dull black suit and uninspiring red handkerchief he is wearing.

On the Panda point, ironically the Rolex website produces a white dialed 116500 when you search “Panda”.



Not defending that - just sharing in the spirit of communication.

Maybe that's a newer system that shows "related" search terms so you always come up with a watch option for purchase without a true Panda offering. Then again they seem to use the awful nickname "Batman" now too ugh so who knows. Just for fun give "Coke" a try...

They’ve been associating all sorts of nicknames within their SEO marketing push.

Agree - it was an observation rather than a rant.

I like that guy. I want to sit in his wine cellar, smoke his stogies, drink his nice wine and convert him to vintage. :)
