Until (or should I say, if) it gets here, I guess I'll just keep watching these videos over and over:

I think you're right about that. In fact, I'm really not a big Rolex fan in general. I just don't like the way most of them look. However, the DSSD really does it for me. I like it so much that I don't care if everyone assumes it's fake. If anyone asks, I'll tell them it's fake, but I still love the way it looks. That's why I bought one. Now if I could only get F-ing customs to let the GD post office F-ing deliver the F-ing thing !!!

I think asshats is a much better word anyhow..

Congrats! The PO is one of the most beautiful watches around in my opinion.

Cougar - I totally agree. The Aquaracer is my next purchase for sure. I think I'm going to get the non-chrono, but man I love the look of that watch. I was very close to buying the gen of this one. I think they retail for like $2850 and I found an AD that I could get it for $2050 with no tax. But I was torn because I really wanted the PO and that was twice the money. But then I found out about the reps and now here I am. As soon as I get my first rep, actually on my wrist, I'm going to order the Aquaracer. I think it's just a b@d@$$ looking watch. After that I'm going to get a nice dress watch. Still looking around but there's a few I really like..

God I hope so! I'm out of town until Friday. I just want the watches to be there when I get home, but it's not looking good. I've been trying to buy a nice rep for a month and a half now. I've got $1100 invested right now and nothing to show for it yet. It is killing me!! Thanks for the words of encouragement!

You know how to get off the watch addiction? Crystal Meth.

Hilarious... My wife said these words to me 5 mins ago: "I'm sick of hearing about the stupid watches. I think you've lost your mind." P.S. I think customs agents are wearing my watches out around town. I can think of no other reason why they've been in customs for 4 days.

Maybe I'm retarded, but I have the hardest time navigating that forum. Why do they hide everything?

I saw this video on youtube a few nights ago. I couldn't imagine any pawn shop buying a watch without looking at the movement. He didn't mention a thing about cracking it open...

Oooooh, I didn't think I wanted a chrono, but I like that one.

Yea, just checked again. Still in customs. This sucks.

Congrats wetwork! Mine's still showing in customs. Hope there's not a problem. Problems seem to plague me lately...

Um, it looks off to me...

You sure his wasn't a rep and he wasn't trying to scam you?

I've been doing the same thing. The first watch I ordered went through customs in China before it was sent (according to EMS Tracking), and it was only in customs for less than a day. When it got to the US it skipped customs and went from JFK to my door in a day. The whole process from order to delivery was exactly 7 days. This time my package is in customs for two days (so far) here in the US. I know it was a miracle that it got here so fast the first time so I'm trying to be patient, but it's hard. I'm leaving town tomorrow and was hoping I'd be able to take my new watches with me on the road. No such luck. With my luck, the package will be delivered to my house 5 mins after I leave!

Wow, thanks for all the replies. I'm in a rush now, but I will take a look at all the suggestions and find the right one for me. I really appreciate and respect all of your opinions. Thanks for taking the time to send them!

Hey, that's BS. Mine is still in customs. I'm starting to get a little nervous/anxious/aggravated/perturbed/sad/jittery/sullen/miffed/generally upset.

Haha. Ok thanks, that's exactly what I needed to hear. I figured at those prices they weren't top of the line. I just didn't know in what ways. Do you have any suggestions? That's really what I need. I'm kinda looking for something along those lines, but I'd really just like to hear what you guys with more experience have found that looks really nice in the "dressy" watch category. And, something that's quality. Accuracy to the gen in this watch isn't as important to me as long as it is a quality rep that looks good. There's a ton of info on sport/dive watches here, but I've searched and am not finding much on dressier watches.

Hey guys, I'd like to poll everyone for some suggestions. I'm looking for a nice dress watch. Something simple and elegant. I have a vision of a simple black face, black leather band and gold (or preferably rose gold) case. I'd like it to be high quality and preferably with an exhibition back. Here are a few I've found that I like the looks of: A Lange & Sohne Classic Regulator: http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18&products_id=8834 IWC Portofino Automatic: http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_190&products_id=8033 Piaget Altiplano Ultra Thin: http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=38&products_id=7460 A Lange & Sohne Tourbillon: http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=18&products_id=6405 These watches all look similar, but I'm not married to any of the specs I listed above. It doesn't have to be rose gold or have a black face. I just want something that would fit nicely with a formal suit or tux. Highest priority to the quality of the fit and finish. Thanks in advance!

Wow, I'd have been upset. But with how the US Postal System has performed recently, I'm always pleasantly surprised when a package actually shows up on time.

Nice!

I imagine the same customs agent sitting at a table holding your watch in his right hand and my watch in his left hand, saying "WTF is this BS?"

Haha, that looks almost identical to my tracking info: 2012-01-18 18:50:00 City of Guangzhou Posting 2012-01-18 20:21:00 City of Guangzhou Despatch from Sorting Center 2012-01-18 21:33:00 GUANGZHOU Arrival at Sorting Center 2012-01-18 23:13:00 GUANGZHOU Despatch from Sorting Center 2012-01-21 05:21:00 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA USJFKA Arrival at Sorting Center 2012-01-21 05:22:00 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA USJFKA Handed over to Customs

Ah, the asia7750 is working for me today. I clicked it 3 times yesterday and it wouldn't open..
