Watches?

[REKIII]

I'd order the original just because of the logo on the clasp.

I'd say buy original.

That Ali one looks like something from a rough cnc machine operated by half-wit oompa loompa.

I just got the invoice and would you take a look at that, made in China!

Anyway I got some spare bracelets yesterday. I bought new cobalt drill bits, shaved the bracelet to size and went directly to my drill press to add a hole for the tube&screw. The original hole leave too much of a gap at the bezel so that's why I drilled another. It now fits perfectly. The red paste is drilling & cutting compound.
Drill bit size 1/16 inch or 1.58 mm

I probably will not wear the China/Lamborghini bracelet even though I just paid to have it shipped.

Of course it is made in china. The whole watch is made there.

But at least the Italian checked it first so your wrist is most likely safe

I mean according to that fake Rolex video that was shared earlier, those Chinese factories appear to make a pretty good product. Replica advocates claim they're 99% as good as genuine Rolex, so I'm sure they can handle a far less expensive Lamborghini watch haha

I expected as much everything is made in China (almost). The businesses dictate the quality of their products, China respects the quality of the contract. But then the blueprints are copied and fakes are made.

I found it funny that they labeled made in China, you never see that on invoices.

I think declaration of origin is required now due to shipping regulation changes. So, shipper such as FedEx, UPS, etc, requires the declaration of origin on the invoice for tariffs

I showed your post to a friend who works at a local watchmaker and he was surprised and complimented your DIY skills. He said he has never seen people drill their bracelets. Most people use half links or just accept their fate

The reason why I drilled another hole was so the link was to close the gap between the pin and bezel. If I used the factory hole there was an ugly gap.

Here's what I mean :

Thanks for posting. Rolex isn't going to win me over though. I love my Tonino's

 

[Luzifer]

That is a pretty slick sweater. I do like how understated it is.


I'm not sure what I think about you knowing me so well hahaha
I suppose Sakura is right, this is a Lambo forum, so it is definitely OK, but my personal rule still is, when posting a watch-by-steering-wheel or watch-by-car pic, the watch should ALWAYS be more valuable than the car, otherwise it's just tacky.

@REKIII You might think it's tacky if the watch is not more expensive than the car but there's an exception to this rule, wearing a Lamborghini watch in a Lamborghini car?


Here's some cheesiness!

Looks good! Santa Approved!

I know there's not a lot of Rolex love on here. But I'm a big fan of the Le Mans Daytona. But I'm not a big fan of the current prices of them. Beautiful watch though. Love the throwback subdials of the Paul Newman era.

Hey c'mon man, that was an Omega...not an Omega fan either I take it?

I must admit I like that one. the proportions of the dials and style looks right.

200-300K for a used one?? It's the price of an lp-610!

OK....so that might be OK.....and besides, I didn't make the rule, I just agree with it. Good Looking Tonino.

I'm a Rolex fan. I'm very unrefined and pretty disgusting as a person, so that probably makes sense. A Daytona is a dream watch someday.

With the copycat video I posted the other day on Rolex I was curious and it turns out it has already been copied in various color combos($628). I bet overall they generate more revenue with the fakes.

Imagine if these guys could build fake Lambos at 1/10 the price!

Hahaha are you suggesting I should get a replica Le Mans Daytona?? I wonder how good the quality of these fakes are up close when compared in hand next to gen. Man I don't think I could pull it off even driving a Lambo. That particular watch was only made for a one year run as a limited edition to celebrate 100 years of le mans, hence sky high secondary market prices. It was 'only' $50K brand new from Rolex. If you could readily buy one for 50 I would already own it. I think we talked about the max we'd spend on a watch earlier in the thread, 50 would be tops for me. Beautiful piece though. That's a grail watch for me. There's a yellow gold version too but I prefer the white one.

Not suggesting to buy a replica, I'm just yapping away. It doesn't bother me if someone did buy a replica. Sometime I buy top quality products and sometimes I buy off brands.

I have bootlegs and unapproved items in my music collection, highly desirable items among collectors.
