The Le Mans White Gold, the Le Mans Yellow Gold, and the Meteorite Rose Gold are nice.

And the rest? Well as they say, if you haven't got anything nice to say, it's best to say nothing at all.

I’m on the waitlist for three of these. Just bought my wife a gemstone ring for almost $1400 bucks and I have bought a few SS Rolex and one Tudor.

I make sure I keep my ringer on 24/7 because it shouldn’t be long.

What makes the ruby ones so expensive? Are rubies just that much more expensive than diamonds, or is there something I'm missing about those watches in particular?

I would assume that finding the same perfect color and clarity of ruby is challenging.

Most of those are gaudy tat, however the rose gold meteorite is very nice.

I'm sure you're right, as with that history you're certainly a VIP customer.

Honestly I'm in the same boat. My spend history is one SS Rolex, one TT Rolex, one Tudor, and some misc. jewelry for the Mrs.

My AD is happy to allocate me anything in what passes for low demand these days, but anything truly special I'm SOL.

My only hope is an unexpected hard landing in the economy where unemployment spikes. Might be able to get something cool then.

Actually gemsets IRL are not that much gaudier than the normal ones. From more than an arm’s length distance, people can’t really tell. It’s not like the North Star in a dark night. The majority of the reported robberies and assaults are actually for plain Jane watches. So, culturally, there’s a big change on what “gaudy”, “showing off”, “flexing” are.

Pricing seems very random for these. Especially the WG Lemans, last year it was $52K, now $267K? I find that hard to believe.
