Looks great! The dial seems to have a very deep and rich blue. I bet it looks even better in person. Nice acquisition, congrats.

As I said above I hate dark blues. Everyone else seems to be in love with them, but it's some weird quirk of mine. But when they put in on the rose gold it completely transforms it to me. And it's only the AP rose and that blue that works for me. This is perfection:

Really enjoyed this video. It provides a nice background regarding a company that many people aren't that familiar with.

I've always had a thing for blue. I'd want to see how the 37mm fits in person. But good luck with that.

Took a quick shot of the AK for TRF. This really shows what the dial looks like most times and how it actually isnt very busy.

Is this is Seamaster Joe Rogan is wearing? He's such a cuck sometimes; a couple of years ago he would always talk about how he only wears a cheap watch and would show it (was like a g-shock or something), but if you watched his UFC interviews he always had on a Rolex deep sea I believe. I've noticed in his newer episodes he seems to have given up on his shtick and wears the nice stuff.

I recognize that broad arrow minute hand anywhere. definitely a seamaster.

One of his buddies was on the show bragging about having a perpetual calendar. So i'm sure over random chit chat he convinced him to upgrade to a "respectable piece". Seamaster basically covers that. It's like the lowest priced, well known watch where watchguys look at it and give the acceptable nod.

I can't blame him for not wanting to be flashy though. There's enough douchebags running out to buy Submariners and two tone daytonas the instant they have a spare 10k or 15k

I'm saying he used to pretend on his show he only wore a cheap watch, but if you saw him on UFC interviews he had a Rolex on. Now he seems to have just said **** it and wears the nice stuff.

He had one of his guys on, cant remember, guy did his car or was involved with building it. Guy was also into watches and you could tell it started to spark his interest. Guy started talking about grand seikos and he was like wut?

He says the UFC gave him the Rolex. But I've also seen him wearing a Breitling Superocean on shark mesh and a Panerai. He has this "down to Earth", "just one of the boys" image that he likes to uphold so I think that's why he's kept it under wraps

Now that you mention it, he was wearing a Breitling in his last 2 comedy specials i think. But i could totally see him wanting to keep the down to earth image, especially with today's SJW/Cancel culture.

Maybe Matt made him feel like it's ok to wear his nice watches and still feel like one of the boys.


Around 3:20 he's still acting potato.

I don't think he brags really, he's ultimately a car guy from The Smoking Tire, but he's super into watches and even has a watch podcast.

The easy answer is whichever you like more. I don't care for either, but the eco drive is at least more interesting. The top one looks like a movado from the 90's. Like something the guys from dick in a box would wear.

This. My little hamilton Khaki Auto was about 350 (srs) and i wear it pretty much everywhere when i dont want to tear up another watch. Only thing i may do now is get the G shock GA-2100 (one that has a royal oak esque shape) for gym and yard work use. Cuz…i dunno. I dont have a G shock?

I'm a Vans shoes, dark jeans, white/black tee and jacket kind of guy (except at the office/gym/beach of course), therefore the simpler the watch the better
I never really think about watch/dial colors unless im putting a nato strap on.

Lmao yup. PM'd the dude. But that's also my worry. They dont make them, so you have to buy them grey. Supposedly it "wears small" but…

Wears Small
48x45mm

Pick one.

Hodinkee has a g-shock store now, and they sell some pretty unique ones. I found the one I posted a page or two back from looking through their site. Bought it from somewhere else but it's easy to browse on hodinkee and see a bunch of them.

I was browsing dive watches on Amazon, when I saw an ad for this:

I know as long as it has it's own brand name it's a "homage", but jeez….
