Boyos!

3. Crown guard on a dress watch case (thin bezel etc). Because why?
4. The bracelet isn't my style. Seems easy to change though.

Otherwise, it's a great looking watch from a company that's really blowing up.
Noted. Show me one you think is nicer.

Speaking of white faced watches, anyone else digging the Seiko SARX lineup? Bit more money than the SARB lineup. For whatever reason I'm continually drawn to Seiko watches.

SARX055

I think this one is beautiful. I'm a sucker for the moonphase complication, and I like how they executed it here. Unfortunately, like most perpetual calendars, it's way out of my budget.

So tired of my automatic watch that cannot be manually wound by hand.
Keeps dying and I hate having to shake it around. And even then it dies in a few hours.

Would take a quartz movement over this any day or at least one that be wound without shaking the watch around like an autist.

Does it keep time well once it's going? It may need to be serviced. Also, get a watch winder so you can just put it in there when you arent wearing it.

I have many. Buy a watch winder and simply put your watch up when done using it.

Needs service, automatics should have at minimum a 24hr power reserve, most have 50, new rolexes have 70.

Hey guys,

If anyone is interested, I have some brand new 20mm nato style straps for sale. I'm starting a watch accessory company and am gathering some data right now for some new products.

Thanks and let me know. This should be an interesting venture!

What do you all think the most over-hyped watch currently is? For me, it has to be the Rolex GMT Pepsi. I understand the history behind it, but every other watch post I see is about this damn watch.

Pepsi is up there, but the 5711 is far and away the champ.

Def the Pepsi, or maybe the AP 15202. The Pepsi is just meh, the bezel colors are funky. Use to be a fan of the 15202, but after seeing one in person it looks way to small; give me a 15400 any day.

The Daytona and 5711 are up there, but I get the hype around them. Got to try on a friends 5712, fuarkign burrtiful

Not a fan of either of those. ML seems to be decent from what I know, but those look like wannabe APs that don't look quite right.

I had a Tag Grand Carrera white dial that I bought and immediately sold, but that really had a great white dial.
