Mike, you own some really ugly watches. Were you on acid when you bought that jetson’s tribute watch?
I think Elvis used to rock that Jetsons hammy. But yeah, your mom sucks at picking watches.

I've been eyeing a new weekend/beach/whatever watch, so my wife picked this up for me as a gift:

That Stowa deserves a new strap

#964

Yeah, I know. It's not quite as bad as it looks but I've definitely been meaning to get around to getting a new one.

#965

Love the dark side...I am a big fan of the grey side with the platinum dial...lugs and band just didnt work for my baby wrists.

Finally found a relatively inexpensive bronze watch.  The quick patina with an egg thing really works

I like it. Buy some liver of sulfur on Amazon and try that. I used that to cheat on my Tudor Black Bay Bronze patina.

Anyone had any luck with buying from international sellers on chrono24?  Found a great deal on a B&M Clifton Indian I’ve had my eye on for a while but the seller is in Gibraltar but seems to have a legit store.

ive bought international from chrono24 and ebay.  for c24, i check out their website to see if theyre legit, and often times ill buy with direct contact from there, or even in-person during travel.

a couple of the sellers are really flaky though.

Gonna sell my Underwood 6 watch, winder case. Black leather bound, sliding, tempered glass front, and it has an extra single winder, leather travel box.   They are both battery and AC current powered boxes.  I've always used it the AC power mode

Wanted to drop it here to see of the Surly group has an interest.  PM me, and we can discuss a Surly deal, before I put it on the open market.

Does it smell of rich mohagony?

I was hoping to get some feedback from the Surly watch gurus about two tone watches.  I am considering getting a Rolex professional watch for my collection (something that can go with a suit/sport coat, jeans, or even shorts) and since the stainless steel versions are impossible to find or double their retail value I was thinking of doing a two tone (gold/steel).  Is this a mistake?  Not in style?  Curious if people here would wear a two tone Rolex like a GMT or a Sub.

I personally don't prefer the look.  And for the cost it adds I would much rather have something more "interesting".

There are only a couple of Rolex I would want these days.  I say this as someone that owns a 116234 SS.

I am confused though.  What Rolex are you referring to that is hard to find?  The internet is lousy with just about every model.

Any stainless steel GMT, Sub, Daytona, etc....are impossible to find at retail.  Take a GMT Pepsi or Batman that are Retail MSRP for like $9K but if you want one you will pay $18-$20K plus which is just stupid.  I am not interested in paying double retail for a SS watch. I was looking at the GMT two tone Root Beer with rose gold or the Black submariner with yellow gold as far as the two tones go.  Just not sure if they are way too flashy or ugly.

#993

Do you mean that they cost more now than when they were new?  Because you can go buy a Sub or Explorer II for under 10k on Jomashop.

Looking to buy new versions.  Rolex ADs don’t have any and online the pricing is crazy.

#995

Where are you, exactly?  Boston?

I have never heard of anyone having a hard time buying a new Rolex.  In Texas anyway.

Dallas.  I am telling you anywhere in the world you can’t find SS sport Rolex watches right now.

Is it that you want a Rolex or a diver watch ?  There are plenty of great brands out there with almost the identical look at half the price, and more under the radar cool.

I will admit I want th Rolex.  I have a Omega and Panerai dive watch but not in love with them with business attire.  Didn’t want another dress watch either.  Figured the Rolex gets me a little of both business and casual.  Actually sub is not my first choice..  prefer a GMT since I travel a lot.

I'm not in love with yellow-gold anything, or two-tones.  Maybe subtle rose gold if that's the only option available.  But that's just my personal opinion, independent of the horology-historian-collectors-groupthink perspective
