How do I justify buying a Rolex?
I am on the brink of buying my first Rolex. I keep flicking through the catalogue and I've visited every AD in the neighbourhood (some several times) trying on different models. I was going for a gold and stainless Date Just, but it's the sameness that puts me off. At first glance, it's too much like my Tissot Visodate Seastar Seven and if I'm spending all that money I'd like something that at least looks different every time I pull my sleeve back. I keep going back to the 116610 LV Submariner. I appreciate it may not be to everyone's taste, but it's the most exciting watch I've ever seen. Can't take my eyes off it - page 119 in the catalogue . Question is: how can I justify spending all that money on what is, after all, nothing but a sheer indulgence for myself? Barring my house, if I go for it, it'll be the most expensive thing I own! It'll be more expensive than my car - how stupid is that ?

Is My New Longines Flagship Watch within specification ?
Last Sat. I bought a brand new Longines Flagship automatic from a highly reputable store in Canada. Before purchase, the sales rep told me that I could expect it to keep time +/- 5 secs per day. Well I am now 2 days into owning it and it is + 23 secs fast per day. Now the rep is back peddling. I don't know what to expect. I know some high end watches ( eg Rolex ) keep time to within 5 secs / day. To me, a watch which cost nearly $2,000 should be able to do better than +23secs / day. What is the correct tolerance for a watch like this ?

First vintage, need some help
I appreciate the help as I'm newish to the hobby and don't know vintage well... These two caught my eye for fun pieces to include in my rotation. Wanted to make sure I'm not shooting myself in the foot or getting frankenwatches. .ebay/itm/261346031373...84.m1423.l2649Or .ebay/itm/331098944285...84.m1423.l2649

The Speedmasters that have failed the water test.
I hear everyone that everyone wishes and thinks the Speedmaster Pro fails when it comes to water.Post your water failed Speedmaster here. I don't think it exists in a large scale.My Speedmaster has never ever failed at water resistence. Pools, swiming, diving, and whatever. I believe the Speedmaster is underated in being waterproof. NASA asks a lot and will not give less than perfection.The BS stops now. Who's Speedmaster has not proven to be waterproof? 30M, 50M I don't care. It does and has not leaked unless it hasn't been serviced since 1969.

Legibility of 5140p
As I continue my quest for my first Patek, I have to say I'm leaning towards a watch with a gray slate sunburst dial. We've already discussed the 5146g vs the 5146p (both of which I adore), but now the 5140p has gained my attention (although I don't know if I can afford it??). The 37mm case, as well as the flatter 9mm height, would fit my thinner wrist more appropriately; but my concern is the the hour and minute hand. As opposed to the 5146, they are bare metal, rather than coated with luminescence, which to me, makes them more difficult to read over this complicated dial. And if you look at all the images of the 5140p on the internet, the hands are strategically placed at 10:10, to avoid covering the complications. I would welcome any comments on the legibility of the 5140p and also welcome any pics of this watch with the hands covering any of the complications. Thanks again for your help. By the way....does anyone know of an AD where I can actually try on the various watches
