Adit 642 Posted April 10, 2019 Beautiful watch. I hope it wasn't bought from one of those official ADs in Thailand though, because you can get some very good replicas masquerading as the real thing, apparently, well, so Bob down the pub told me, anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thommo82 1,397 Posted April 10, 2019 That’s really nice mate, and as others have said, you can wear it in just about any situation. I tried on an Airking at my local AD, the look on my Missus face told me I probably shouldn’t buy it..... Congratulations on a great purchase! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,463 Posted April 10, 2019 Thanks again everyone for your comments. 1 hour ago, splke said: @del you on the dole now then ? Looking forward to the Gen fire sale Pretty much! Might sell one or two, mainly just because I'm not wearing them though.... 1 hour ago, SteveA said: Beautiful watch,very classy and versatile,wear it well.Cingratulations onbinning the old job,does this mean retirement,I would recommend it as I retired 18months ago after a working life of nearly 40 years,31 in the same job ! Congratulations to you too! 31 years in the one company is very good going - they don't make them like us any more! I'm sort of early retired now but whether that is permanent or not remains to be seen - I'm in no hurry at the moment though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,289 Posted April 10, 2019 Oh my god, I'm such a dick. I saw this in the Daily Wristie thread the other day and thought it looked totally amazing so I spent an hour or so researching all the different versions, ARF etc, hoping to pick one up. I should have known it was Gen, it's flawless. Stunning! Lovely pick up and enjoy the semi retirement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NFleischer 4,355 Posted April 10, 2019 10 hours ago, Del said: The AD sells at list price. No discounts. Even looking on the web at brand new, unworn models it’s difficult to find one at list price - crazy! Absolutely! If I’d bought the fluted bezel version then I would’ve also chosen the Jubilee but, as you say, I think the Oyster makes it more flexible as well as contemporary. Thanks again everyone! Why in the world would anybody by a Rolex at Jomashop, Authentic Watches, etc? Pay a lot more than list price and have no manufacturers warranty?! For an Edox or Seiko, it makes sense.

Jhamsburg 0 Posted May 28, 2019 Congratulations on the milestone purchase! Just a question: Were you able to negotiate a discount with the AD? Usually they are very strict towards SS sports models due to demand and waitlists, but how flexible are they on the new Datejusts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChromosomeYX 3 Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) @Del Your username reminded me of that character from the Ozark. Esai is a great actor! But great looking DJ and wristshots! Did the AD give you any promo materials e.g. passport covers or watch cases? PS: Wear it in great health! Edited June 30, 2019 by ChromosomeYX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From my experience having tried (UK) recently, no flexibility whatsoever! Same as Porsche, I guess it’s one of the reasons why these brands maintain their demand and equity while others don’t.
