A lot of judgement here. It’s too bad there is so much negativity in this world.

I enjoy Initial’s threads! Keep them coming.

Congrats!

The question to answer is how good of a deal was the purchase of all 5 against the combined MSRP of them; final paid cost was over or under combined MSRP?

What would be wrong with celebrating someone’s purchase with them and saving all the judgement?

Who cares if it was a good deal or a royal screwing. It’s his $

This is a watch forum. To celebrate watches. To show off watches. To talk about watches.

Maybe we should let the rest of the world celebrate negativity. There are plenty of negative pricks to go around.

Congratulations again

Buy 5 at retail AD prices and you can claim all the international man of mystery status you desire.

ShaneR · 4 July 2019, 01:19 AM

Well I guess it's not really "F*** YOU Money" unless you piss someone off. Nice use of it, hope you enjoy the watches!

Hahaha. Great. Most entertaining thread in a while.

Cheers

Justingtr · 4 July 2019, 03:07 AM

Congrats on the purchase but isn't this something that everyone can do with enough money, just throw it at a grey? I'm failing to see what is so special about this. And isn't asking for stuff on top part of any big purchase? I've never bought a vehicle or a bike without adding in random stuff from the dealer.

But congrats man, give us some updated pictures

Don’t understand why some people are giving the OP so much stick. Jealousy maybe?

What BLRO? You have a BLNR in this group, but no Pepsi.

The first 3 photos and watches are from HKG when the OP was there in March and visited some greys.

You’re quite right and I downloaded my already posted images for this post.

I don’t feel the need to take photos every time I walk into a dealer. The day I bought wasn’t a fashion day, it was a buying day.

I posted a mix of images over wifi at HK Airport with a short version account before I boarded. I grabbed whatever pics I could get (over and above the ones I took on my wrist) until I was home next, as a write up supposedly needs images. If it was an academic paper, I’d have foot-noted but it’s a watch forum.

As far as people demanding that I stage a photo shoot for their edification, you’re kidding yourself. I choose what to post.

I’ve finished a long form write up, which many seem to enjoy. but I’m inclined to keep it. I have my watches and am thoroughly enjoying them.

Over and out.

What's so hard about putting together the 5 watches for a single photo? Not saying you don't have them but don't see what the big deal is about posting a group shot.

Thanks harvey.

In Australia we have a strange phenomenon called 'the tall poppy syndrome". Stick your head out and some will delight in throwing stones at you.

Don’t get defensive I did not accuse you of anything, it was an observation.
I actually read your HKG post and found it very informative. I go to HKG several times per year and I am familiar with the watch scene and what you experienced there.

However, if I may add, we like watches and in particular Rolex watches. We like to see photos......especially when someone makes a killer purchase like yours.

Hi Verdi, I'm sorry if you thought I was being terse. Not a problem at all. In fact I read your post to mean these watches were in fact on my wrist.

What a lack of enthusiasm. Sure is not in sync with the long write up. I am still expecting the nice showcase.

And at this point I chose not to believe you own any of these or a blro. Prove me wrong OP. That is right. I believe you made it all up.

Based on your past posting history I cant say I believe anything you post.

There have been others that been called out and the easily post a picture disproving the haters. It is not difficult.

imgook · 4 July 2019, 03:09 PM

Wow, things got nasty up in here.

Being on a watch forum, we all love pics.
I for one would definitely like to see a collection pic, be proud and show them off.

Hi imgook. I'm traveling. I have a group pic of all the watches but here's the thing:

I joined this forum to post what I choose to post. Like most people, you're what makes this forum a generally nice place to interact. Thank you for your comment.

What I won't do is have some anonymous twit (not you and not most people here) demands a photograph like it's a bloody murder trial. I don't jump through hoops or respond to some of the childish demands made here. I'll post images if I choose to but not at the demand of some kid who wouldn't get my attention outside this forum. Again, not you ;)

Thanks for your post.

5nit · 4 July 2019, 03:18 PM

I have to say this original post just seems arrogant. Hey everyone I just bought all these hard to get models at once! Many people struggle to even get one of these pieces.

I’m in the group picture or it didn’t happen camp.
