Man I am tough on watches, would not drop the kind of money you guys did on your watches. After a year, my Tag looks like I got thrown down a rocky slope! 

Tags are made for that. Send them a pic, your activities and they'll like its still going. My Omega has been to South America snorkeling, Puerto Rico hiking, NY dwelling, Texas in the army, and more.  Ive replaced all the knobs in the 40 years ive had it. Its infantry proof

Ive had my 2-tone Sub for 20 years and have not had I serviced yet (will send her in soon) and have dropped it on tile flooring several times and hasn't missed a beat. Im sure if I had a cheaper watch it'd be a wash!

Got my White Whale in the end. Also in the (very long) queue for a Tudor GMT SS. Happy bunny here. 

Wow! Beautiful piece.

Been a while since I have shown watches and I am wearing interesting one today. Yesterday too.

One on the left is the first I ever got in London UK, 2008. One on the right is my newest one which I posted before. But last week changed the band to match tiles in rotating dial around face. Got it in La Jolla, California this year.

Love the straight up Explorer. I have more watches than I should but these three together make up about 80% of my wear time. White gold BLRO, Explorer, and IWC Portuguese Automatic. Feel like they are all classics.

That’s a perfect set. I need an IWC pilot and Omega MOTFM or First in Space in my rotation. 

The Polar Explorer II is my current weekend watch until I suck it up and buy the sub, even though i go back and forth on whether I love it or hate it. 

 

The watch bug bites much much harder than the cigar bug.  But just like the cigar bug, I wish it had bit me sooner.

 

 

 

Send some love to your Pepsi for me

Been enjoying these

Got this a couple weeks ago. It’s an extremely divisive Rolex, but makes me love it more. ?

It’s gorgeous. Interested parties need a wrist shot.

I will admit I disliked the two-tone sub & sd for a long time until a coworker bought a TT sub and I saw it in the wild on a regular basis. They look great in real life! 

If I ever trade up from my Milgauss, it will probably be one of these.

Harrod Edition Tudor Black Bay here in the US... I absolutely love Tudor as a brand. My box is Tudor only these days.

Thank you! I love it. For me, the size at 43mm is perfect. The DSSD is beautiful also, but a tad big for me. 43mm is sweet spot.

As did I... I wasn’t entirely certain how I felt about it, but opportunity presented itself and I could sell it easily enough if I didn’t like it. It grew on me quite quickly. I really like it a lot. A month ago I bought the car of my dreams and I wanted a watch with a bit of flash to go with it. The 43mm size is perfect for me. The DSSD is tad large for me. I wanted a bit of flash at 43mm. Perfect ?

Probably using a silicon oxide coating, if it is to be clear. Not really that odd. Lots of things get coated nowadays. If you've ever been around metals that are exposed to the elements (eg marine fixtures, car wheels, light fixtures, etc), a lot of them do have a coating to increase wear resistance and corrosion.

And, of course, cars are getting clear wrapped also with self healing characteristics. Mine has it all over the front half to prevent chips/dings. Can’t imagine not having it now.

Here’s my adventure / beach watch. Precista PRS82, a modern homage to a British Navy diver. Strap is a waterproof Hirsch Alligator, which I can’t recommend highly enough. Yay summer.

I have never been a Rolex man, but this one is simply beautiful.

That’s wild.

If you can’t find that, there are nice vintage blue dial date just to be had.

Toss it on a leather strap and rest assured nobody be calling you blingy.

New Cigar inspired Cuervo y Sobrinos

Doesn’t do it for me either but would look a lot better in rose gold.
