I can envisage some circumstances where that would be useful haha.

Dude you just kept going haha I love it. I mean, this is jewelry, end of story. Still I could use something like that when I break my wrist and need some support but still want to protect my man jewelry.

Comex divers and all the other professional divers of years gone by didn't worry about hairline scratches on their watches from their wetsuits. The astronauts didn't worry about damage from a zero g environment. Climbers didn't carry Cape Cod in their packs. It's all becoming quite absurd.

From my reading of this forum it's clear more people buy these things to impress others and for generating a profit. It's too bad the forum is reflecting more and more daily this new reality. At least we still have Hodinkee. Personally, I'm not impressed one little bit by another's material possessions.

Agree

Love it Padi wear the watch and enjoy it, take the stickers off and use it

Al1969 · 18 May 2019, 09:58 AM

Padi. Hey that product not only protects a “tool”’s tool, but also checks your blood pressure.

Is it safe threads,
Please God give me strength.

With today's Rolex wearers with special crystal buff clothes,

Special Rolex shampoo,special watch resting cloths.

Please Rolex bring back the tool watches,
And wearers of yesterdays past years.

According to many on the net you can never be overly paranoid with Rolex watches as they are quite fragile if you wear them or take them out of the box,

That's what some posts seem to portray on forum lately.

These ultimate Rolex watch protectors will protect your watch from the harmful rays from the moon,

And the ultraviolet radiation from the sun, if you dare taking your Rolex out of its box and going outdoors.

And will further protect it from very harmful specks of dust,

And god forbid any finger marks on case or crystal.

Please God give me strength.

I would buy one, Peter, if it had a Porsche logo on it.

Andad · 18 May 2019, 11:34 AM

I do agree with you Peter but to be fair when a white dial Ceramic Daytona sells for Aus$30000 I can understand why some may be careful with it.

Hope your are well.

CNDguy · 18 May 2019, 12:46 PM

I know you are a very well liked and respected individual here but just about every post I’ve ever seen you write is quite negative. Seems like this forum just annoys the you know what out of you.

What is the best strategy for buying this? Should I bundle some socks or belts first? You know to build the "relationship"?
Are dealers hiding these in the back or selling them to grey dealers? This is so unfair, I need this now!

So funny and so sad at the same time.

I'm out.

Boothroyd · 18 May 2019, 01:04 PM

Keep 'em coming, Peter!

Speedbird-1 · 20 May 2019, 10:03 PM

I'm blaming you, Peter.
I tried to buy one...........there's a waiting list.

Is it OK to manipulate my watch's crown without special jeweller's gloves? Nervous.

I’m new here, but these were my thoughts exactly. That this seems like a miserable individual. All posts are sarcastic, cynical, negative, and convey a general dislike for the forum. What’s the point?

We used to wear similar watch straps when I was in the Army during the South West Africa / Angola "border" war. It helped to eliminate glare and made us look tough and dangerous.

Stay strong Peter, someday perhaps this forum will return to talking about the love of watches.

Until then I have stopped reading most threads and I spend far less time here than I used to.

Haha well, the only posts he ever makes are complaints!
Anyways I won’t stir anything else up. Buh bye!

Jona · 21 May 2019, 01:27 AM

When I was in college many years ago I got a 34mm OP (IIRC) for $120. I put it on and rarely took it off for many years. It kept running fine, in the shower, pool, and whilst riding a motorcycle. I didn't care or even think about scratches; I was just so proud to have it!

Padi-point well made IMHO.
