Picked this up the other day.

If you like wearing the speedy on a leather strap, you can pick up the older one and save a bit of money. If you like it on a metal bracelet, the newer model definitely has a better bracelet. Other than that, the differences are not a game changer. The newer movement has hacking seconds. If it...

I wouldn’t say the watch market is ‘bad.’ Rolex is a unique company — they don’t have share holders, and only make just under one million watches per year. I would hold on to it as long as you enjoy it, and take care if it. -Have it pressure tested once every couple years. -If you have to...

I do love the Speedy, but the JLC will always beat the Speedy, and almost anything else you can throw at it.

JLC been getting a lot of wrist time lately.

🤌🤌🤌

This thread needed a bump.

they could have done a better job with that case back though 😭

The new Tudor in the silver case is a huge flex. I can’t think of anyone else doing a silver case right now, and I always think silver looks cooler, the older it gets.

Pulled the trigger on this yesterday. Reverso Duoface. A dress watch by today’s standards, but it was the very first sports watch.

Macro shot of the King.

Not all mechanical watches are automatic winding. Some people prefer manual-winding movements.

Their customer service sucks, but sometimes their price is right.

Explorer 1. It doesn’t put off any douche vibes because nobody is going to know it’s a Rolex unless it’s someone who knows watches, and anyone who knows watches knows that someone wearing an Explorer 1 isnt a douche. It’s a classy watch without any flash.

Just got this custom strap in from TheStrapSmith.com made from a vintage leather military ammo pouch. Smells like an antique shop.

With all the current hype surrounding luxury watches aside, that’s a gorgeous watch. I really do like Breitling’s crocodile leather straps. They really are as thick and luxurious as the pictures portray. Sadly, my wrists are too small for most standard size straps and I’m too OCD about my...

3k for a Navi? Shit, they’re giving them away. Check out Bobswatches.com Looks like they have someBlack Bays in stock, but as mentioned above, 3 months isn’t a long wait at all.

Lost in the wormhole, but someone mentioned pre-owned. I very good resource to price pre-owned is Bobswatches.com, chrono24, and thewatchbox.com. I’ve never purchased from any of these places, but I definitely would buy from Bobswatches.

A dive watch is less complicated due to the movement itself, being that it keeps the time, and sometimes include a date function. The chronograph has a stopwatch function, date, and sub-dials, which is more moving parts. Don’t let the maintenance deter you. It’s definitely worth it. These will...

They’re mechanical. The spring wears out, gears need lubricated, and rubber seals deteriorate (dive watches). Three - five years for some. I’ve heard of people going 7+ before requiring maintenance. If you go with a dive watch, and you actually wear it in the water, you should get the seal...
