It was a great experience buying from them and hopefully the first of many more. The 33mm fits her beautifully and she can't get enough of it.


Great pair.

Is that a 996? I have a 99 996 Cabrio, my first Porsche, and I will never sell it (like my first Rolex from 1997).

2018 991.2 GT3. And totally agreed, in my opinion it's the only car I have that I would never, ever sell. It's the perfect all around car for me. Light, raw but reasonable, manual gearbox, symphonic flat 6 engine that revs to 9k and is so exciting across the entire power band. Built like a tank. You can flog it on track non stop then daily drive it without skipping a beat. The styling is sharp and doesn't draw much attention from normal commuters so I have no problem leaving it parked to go to the store etc, but when enthusiasts see it they'll chat about it and that's always welcomed.
I have about 10-12k track miles on it, and I daily drive it, weather permitting. It's now been retired from track use because I bought a 991.1 GT3 Cup car for track use and the 991.2 will be relegated to street use only now.

That's a beautiful beast. Sadly, manual shift is an endangered species....

New 44 Platinum. Love it

Edit... Not sure why the forum trashes my pics when I upload from my phone?

I like the black better in general. The taupe looks really nice when it color-coordinates with any clothing. Thankfully, the quick-strap change system works really well, including the very clever buckle changing. Takes literally 30 seconds beginning to end to completely change out the watch. Enjoy yours when it arrives!

Thank you!

Dimension wise they are exactly the same so the aesthetics have more to do with the shine and the hues of the metals depending on lighting and perception (yellowish/warmer on WG, whiter/clearer on PT, more silverish/grayish on ST) and then the heft PT is the true heavyweight champion!

That jumbo is old news now. I think you need to sell it to me at your cost

What size is your wrist? Looks perfect on you. I'm in line for one, hoping for the call some day soon! Such a great update to the offshore chrono line
