Not going to argue about the bracelet, however the rest looks along the Cellini line.

I'm moving halfway across the country and my friend wanted me to have his watch. I think I'll always hang onto it. It's the stories, boyos.

A few things give it away.
1. The bracelet
2. The fact that its quartz (rolex produced very few "oysterquartz" models, in some very select cases)
3. The printing on the dial, this takes some experience to discern

Here are some pictures for reference.




Here is a real one:



At best, this is a franken, an original watch that may have been redialed, possibly customized by a jeweler, and fit with a generic quartz movement.

Edit: the model they were going for with that watch was likely the 3807. Have you tested the gold case for purity?

Need some input boys. Currently debating between a Longines hydroconquest and the oris aquis date. Is there any other brand in that price range I should consider?

Big fan of dive style watches and looking to upgrade from my orient ray 2.

Put in a order at my AD for a Z-blue milgauss, of which I was told it was placed as of Monday.

I heard that stainless steel rolex are hard to get, even by AD and could take a couple months to be fulfilled.

If I had to decide between those two, I'd go with the Oris Aquis on a bracelet. The styling of the dial is more versatile, allowing you to dress it up or down. The Longines is full blown sports and would likely look asinine in dressier environments.

Cant go wrong with either… I, myself, am a big Longines fan. The Oris is nice but I'd always go Longines before Oris.

If anyone is interested, I have two pretty new watches for sale. One is a Tag Gulf Monaco, and the other is the new Omega Speedmaster Apollo 8 Dark Side of the Moon. Both were purchased earlier this year at a local AD.

I'll give my miscers a good deal if anyone is interested.

PS: Man….what happened to the MISC? When I started this crew, we were going through 10,000 posts like every three months. I see this one is at around 5.5K posts after four years?

Blue dial rolex with cyclops date, fluted bezel, AND jubilee bracelet… "lowkey". I was like laugh out loud. You said neither gets much wear. What's your daily driver then?

Haha, got me there. It definitely gets noticed a lot but it's more lowkey than the batman for sure . Was interviewing last week and one of the directors complimented me on the DJ and we had a quick chat about watches since he has a hulk/batman

I don't really wear watches on the daily, but I do have a JLC ultrathin moon or an apple watch that I'll wear occasionally. Can't do the metal bands with an office job imo

I just got a watch that had been on my list for a looong time. Is this juicy enough for my misc brahs?

1942 Laco B-Uhr, issued to bomber pilots/navigators of the German Luftwaffe in WWII. This is what all modern pilots are still based on to this day

Which trench? I have several. This is my most recent addition for trench watches; a 1915 Omega WWI officer's watch in solid silver with original shrapnel guard:



My collection is getting out of hand. I've got waaaayyyy too many. Been gathering a ****ton of WWII military watches, I can pretty much start my own war museum now. I think I've got about 200-250 watches in my personal collection, mostly WWII military

I totally forgot about you, Kabananga. Maybe it's time to finally pull the trigger on my first vintage Omega
I'll have to check your sales posts out again. Glad I got half my mug of coffee left.
