i bought the strap off him since he wasn't going to use it and slapped it on my daytona (took deployant clasp off my bracelet), i think it looks pretty good.

yoooo i got the same thing, except mine is "rubberb"

Got my bonus check in from work the other day. Was thinking about nabbing a panerai or jlc I've been stammering on about, bit had a change of heart. Said **** it and ordered some micros, and I've fallen back in love with them. I'll save the rest of my bonus and maybe take a trip with part of it. Told myself I'm over blowing money on $5,000 and up watches. They have their place for sure, but not right now for me.

Grabbed a Heroic18 bronzo, been in love with them for a while and they just released a new batch. For those looking for a sub $1,000 bronze watch, grab this ****er. I'm in love. Comes with three of their own awesome straps. Great value.



Also picked up Benarus vintage moray. This thing is amazing as well. Has an amazing domed acrylic crystal that looks better than the one on my speedy and even the PAM 372 I briefly owned. For $500 this is an amazing value as well.



Also got a Seiko turtle reissue incoming Monday

I'm done with the 9015 for life, it's meant to be a real workhorse but both that I've had have chit themselves badly at just under the 2 year mark.

I can't imagine them being terribly expensive fixes, no? To be fair, most higher end watches I've owned have had problems. My panerai had issues, as did my Rolex, and my Tudor's 2824 had it's rotor fall off almost. One of the reasons I'm going to cheaper watches.

There are a few brands that have a reputation for discounts that are much harder to come by with Rolex being the big one.

sounds very close to my cologne adddiction other than a few brands it doesnt make sense to pay retail

are there active canadian brahs here? i ask because our CAD is brutal right now and its not worth for us to buy from the states…ar there any acceptable canadian vendors?

you US brahs should look into canadian vendors…you get basically an extra 39% off just by converting to our currency

There's a few of us. Always looking for a deal on the used market but since the dollar went to chit I haven't bought anything at all.
For affordables, keep an eye out on Amazon.ca.

The Orient Mako was at an all-time low yesterday but sold out very quick.

The Daytona! Out of all the watches posted in this thread, I think this is my favourite!

Top 5 laundry detergents in the game (don't judge my opinion):

1.Tide (delivers a clean and fresh style of)
2.Oxi clean (attacks dry stains like a monster)
3.all (deserves a spot in the top 5 but not the best)
4.wisk (I respect the stain spectrum tech. But needs to fight harder for that top 3)
5.purex (up and coming in the game)

To buy or to sell?

What price would you put on an 18k solid gold omega century from the 60s that's recently been serviced with some original parts and crystal replaced?

BTW, was offered a speedy in the only variations (besides some LEs an pre-pro) that I like.

A 3572.50.00, Hesalite crystal, Saphire Caseback and 1863movement. With one of the last tritium dials ever made (last year).
Added bonus; It's a birthyear piece for me.

Jumped on the opportunity and am absolutely loving it. Somehow this one doesn't look as dull.

as for the one your looking at, i have that one in the same color combo, the area id say to be cautious and check for scuffs is that chrome lip between the crystal and the orange bezel. its such a high polish that it picks up little hairline scuffs from everything, they arent really noticable from arms length but if you examine it you will notice them, and for the difference of maybe a hundred bucks from new to used, id just buy that thing new so you can avoid having any surprises. island watch usually has it for like 170, thats just my .02 tho

thank you bro


great info….the brah Im looking into the Mako with is Canadian too….I checked that website and after conversion Ill pay ~233$ CAD

I might be better off on amazon.ca for now

Ive hasd this problem with fragrances and havent bought anything in a while….when a sweet deal pops up in USD is really just cancels out as I gotta pay almost an extra 40% to convert my cash
