4th Installment AGW ( another guys watch )
the owner of this watch did some tile work for us a number of years ago, I didn’t know he was into watches. I ran into him at our condo complex and he was rocking the Blueberry ( I believe that’s what it’s called ) he just received it 2 days ago, his first Rolex. He has been an Omega guy and bought his first Omega Seamaster while in the navy, he currently owns 2 Omegas. He was looking at this Rolex and the Hulk, ultimately decided on the white gold Submariner. I gave him a few pointers on the care of his watch and recommended that he consider a Rubber B as an alternative to the metal bracelet. He said he might be trading in one of his Omega’s for one of the new black case Seamasters.
He asked me if I ever traded watch’s , I said is The Pope Catholic?

I’m very much enjoying these installments Larry! 🍻 The tile business must be good 👍🏻
Thanks Jesse, it’s been fun for me. Still keeping an eye out for a lady wearing an interesting watch.
He has 6 guys working for him and apparently business is good, he has an entrepreneur spirit.
This is great. Admire your willingness to put yourself
out there and actually ask someone rather than just think it.
JP 884, is the watch pic I posted the Cookie Monster and not the Blueberry?
if so, I need to bone up on my Rolex references.
Are those center links brushed or polished?
If they are brushed, then they're likely steel. If they're polished, they're likely white gold. Either way, great looking watch!
I assume they divulge that information about the center links one way or the other?
I thought these white gold subs were all gold. I like the bezel, nice color.
Yes, but there are people who modify them.
For example; a steel watch with a white gold Sub's blue bezel. And thus, you'd have the brushed bracelet, since you only have the white gold bezel.
I’ve been thinking about the ceramic PO’s…
Would like the chrono EXCEPT hate the orange bezel (really dislike it) and the deep black gmt isn’t bad except I have the steel gmt Po so kind of amid ships as it were…
Thanks much for all these installments Larry….
You do run into interesting collectors very often!
S F, I I appreciate that kind words.
i find myself always looking to see if a person is wearing a watch…I’m becoming obsessive
Nice read and pic !
Thanks for sharing Larry. I like this Blueberry or Cookie Monster sub too. Very stealthy in white gold / black dial and even more so than the Smurf. Cheers Robin
That was a play on words.
From a metal band called megadeth. But instead of “tile” it was “killing”.
Amazing "stealth wealth" watch, expecting to take delivery of mine in the course of next week and really looking forward !!
Prefer it over the legendary Smurf as this Cookie Monster (what a nickname ...) is a bit more subtle, not a fan of the particular hue of blue on the Smurf's dial. Cheers, Pieter
How is it that this watch has brushed
center links? White gold subs have polished center links. Is this perhaps not real?
