That Seiko Arnie arrived. Happy with the size. The way people were talking I was expecting it to be double the actual size.

I'd only play that game once because you're not going to get it under $120 and they're selling brand new for $160. I'd just buy it and be done if i lost the auction. Speaking of Gshocks though, if I don't land the blnr this winter and end up with the omega grey side of the moon, I can see myself picking up the GMWB5000D-1 next summer just to have something on steel to throw on casually.

I need to stay off TRF, it's fuking up my grasp on reality. Most guys' beaters over there are $3,000 Tudors or $8,000 non-preciousmetal submariners.

Me too, especially considering i can be rough on things at times, and that they are somewhat more "fragile" than a Rolex.

Trying real hard to convince myself that I don’t need, or want, this:



I’d have to move at least one watch, maybe 2, to feel ok about this…

The only one I really have attachment to is the Omega.

The Tag is what I wear when I go surfing, or outdoor stuff (helpful to track when I need to put on sunscreen. 100% serious lol)
The all black one is a Raymond Weil Urban Freelancer, Zero attachment, just was an early pick up when I got into watches, and just haven’t done anything with it.
The Breitling is a gorgeous piece, but it’s fuarkin massive (wrist genetics of piss)

I love that JLC. It gets posted in here a lot. I want one on either a black leather strap or the brown strap.

I'd get rid of the RW and the Breitling.

Hello gents, glad to see everyone is still around! I picked up a new piece last weekend, I haven't had anything over a 40mm for probably 10 years so was hesitant at first but feel it wears really well for a 42mm. Very happy with it and think Explorer II's represent very good value what with the insane Rolex market

Leather 90% of the time. Only metal if I feel the need to “church it up” for something and the leather doesn’t seem to do it.

Thanks guys. Now to decide if I want to fork out the cash for the legit Omega leather strap, or go aftermarket…would probably be around 2-300 for aftermarket, and 5-600 for the official.
