IMO, buy the watch you love, not the one that's "realistic" waiting-list-wise. But nothing wrong with the Blanton's hack. Good luck!

I'm absolutely obsessed with any sort of green dial, so a steel OP41 makes sense as a realistic purchase (hopefully).
It's crazy, but over the past couple of years, I've really started to appreciate the benefits of living in a relatively small capital city when it comes to purchasing luxury/ niche goods. The demand is nowhere near what you guys just experience, making it relatively easier to get what I want if I can find the right people — and strike up the right relationship with them.
Problem is, I can't decide which one I love the most, hahah.

Is the watch world equivalent of "get samples" "buy them all"?

Need some help and figured I'd fish for it here. Any recommendations for reasonably affordable chrono winding boxes? I have two 52.5mm Invicta automatics and need a solution that will fit them both. I've been shocked at some of the winding box prices though.

IMO the fears on watchuseek are overblown and buying fancy winders is mostly just buying fancy things to buy fancy things. Nothing wrong with that... this is PCF after all. But I don't know of any functionality benefits, besides a better looking logo.
Haven't noticed any magnetization or adverse effects with my $85 Amazon winder. Runs super quietly. They daisy chain so you can run multiple off of one USB port. (Or there's a dual winder model if you prefer.)

I don't wear large watches so worth checking the reviews for compatibility.
you don't want to drop 3 grand on a wolf?
You have a style like Russian soldier....
I’m on a loooong waitlist for the LV sub, lol. Having owned the green OP 41 and AK at the same time, I think the fact that I only still have the OP should tell you which one of those two I prefer.
Honestly for something I wear on frequent nicer occasions, going out, etc the OP is hard to beat. Subtle but pretty cool if anybody does happen to notice it. The green sub is spectacular, but I’d be nervous wearing it out too often going to events, hopping on BART (/ the tube) or anywhere where I wouldn’t want anybody noticing $15k on my wrist…
would you wear a watch that expensive or more if it didn't say 'rolex' and it was less likely that someone looking to steal it would recognize it?

Very clean, never heard of this brand before. Is it unobtanium?
Invaluable insight, cheers Kyle! We're so behind here in Wales that we don't even have a version of the tube, sooo...
I’d feel way more comfortable wearing a $20k Vacheron overseas than a green sub/pepsi/Daytona
Nope, its just you need to order and wait till they make it, but it's highly customizable.....have you noticet that it does not have a crown...
funny a vacheron overseas is EXACTLY the watch I had in mind when I asked that question
So it’s a Pain In The Ass watch?

Had a beautiful little private wedding ceremony yesterday with close family. I have posted this watch earlier, but it was a gift from my Fiancee (now wife I guess).
Still have a proper wedding next week with extended family and friends, but August 11th had sentimental value and we weren't able to book our venue.

Congrats on married life. That's a beautiful Hamilton! How does the ring feel?
It's a good thing that I didn't like the Submariner on my wrist yesterday then...
Officially on the list for an Oyster Perpetual 41 green dial though.
What. A. Watch.

My recommendation is Watchfinder.com. Second-hand at very competitive (and negotiable) prices, and they’re owned by Richemont so they stand behind their products/warranty’s.
, so...Tbh, I'm really in no rush to get my hands on one, and really begrudge paying more for a second-hand item.

No date, green dial. What's not to love?
