Any Code 11.59 Owners?

TLDR: Anyone care to share their ownership experience with the Code 11.59?

The ugly duckling. Trinity starter watch. Entry-level AP. A foot in the door for a Royal Oak.

I know the labels and perceptions, and none of them matter to me. I think t…

BMW owners past/present

These may not qualify as luxury… But I'll ask here anyhow.

I'm considering a purchase between two BMWs, a 2023 X5 (sDrive40i) and a 2021 X3 (M40i), both pre-owned. Price is within $3k. The X5 has two years of warranty, the X3 has none. Mil…

What can you tell me about it? Not expecting a lot of feedback but hopefully a few thoughtful replies will give me some insight.

Santos Only

I went back through the Cartier sub-forum a bit and didn’t see a dedicated thread for the Santos line. Given how popular the model is, and the numerous, short, one-off Santos posts, it seemed useful to create a single, focused thread for all things San…

Ulysse Nardin Event Recap

Last night I attended a Ulysse Nardin event hosted by my local watch group. Prior to the event, I have only checked out their watches briefly at a local AD.

While the Freak is not my style, I do respect the innovation and freedom the brand works with…

The Marin Vault – anyone familiar?

I'm considering a deal with this seller (https://www.themarinvault.com/) so now I'm asking around as I prepare to commit.

I came across a watch posted on C24. Good reviews there. Then went to Google and the website which links to reviews on …

Watch-ington DC

Headed to the capital soon and will have time to check out a few ADs, boutiques and other watch stores. I'm not in the market but there is a potential deal I'd make if I can find a Blancpain Bathyscaphe in titanium. My expectation is that I&#…

Could Have Been a Contender

Had a birthday lunch near my AD, so I stopped in. Not in the market, and nothing caught my eye from any brand.

They had available 2x 36mm DJs, 36mm two-tone Explorer, 41mm Day-Date (diamonds), 31mm DJ (diamonds). More interesting, the new Land-Dweller…

Meteor Grey vs. Anthracite

Boring poll, I know. Boring colors too but they're among my favorite dial color options.

The problem is, there's one watch I love in both colors. I own the meteor grey but I think I want the anthracite. Everything else about the watch is ess…
