Skin too dry. Need to moisturise more.

Wear sunscreen

If Baz Luhrmann could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.

A long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by Scientists.

Whereas the rest of his advice has no basis more reliable than his own meandering experience. You can listen to his song for more :grin:

This is really out of this world... Wow

 

I would recommend MB&F or FP Journe over this... really tooooooooooo big of a loss to take in terms of residual value unless u plan to buy n pass on to your grandchildren then OK lor. IMHO if you spending this type of monies might as well get a 2nd hand Roger Dubuis, since you like chonky watches?

I like this watch for the movement, the craft, workmanship and the unique winding mechanism.

Never about the brand or spending money to impress others.

Will never buy a used watch. To me a watch carries sentimental value and I like mine unmolested by others. Bought a submariner years back and immediately write off 50% value. Just be contented with what i have. After many moons, mine will also be vintage.....in my eyes....Swee bo? 

Idiot, create a nick just for this fun

Reading this doesnt really help one from being conned.

but it is informative for sure.  Those who will be conned, will be conned regardless

FYI Vintage Rolexes can also be fully functional and waterproof too. All of mine are.   Its a matter of making sure that one is not buying badly pitted cases, poorly maintained gaskets in casebacks, tubes etc....and doing a service every 5 to 10 yrs depending.  

Old Rolex movements are known to be simpler yet hardier and more durable and tried and tested more than current movements which offer plenty of pomp for the sake of accounting for the price increase.  

 

Nothing wrong either ways, people like what they like.
