March 26, 20196 yr 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.

March 30, 20196 yr Is that the Dark Side watch? Love that thing. Looked at it a couple weeks ago after watching the Watch Finder video
March 31, 20196 yr I've never made the plunge on a silver or white faced watch, and I don't own a Panerai...but I'm smitten. https://www.panerai.com/us/en/collections/watch-collection/luminor/pam00978-luminor-marina---44mm.html
April 3, 20196 yr I've been eyeing a new weekend/beach/whatever watch, so my wife picked this up for me as a gift: light blue silicone black/orange silicone and a family pic

April 3, 20196 yr 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.
April 3, 20196 yr 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.
April 6, 20196 yr Finally found a relatively inexpensive bronze watch. The quick patina with an egg thing really works Edited April 6, 20196 yr by brown water
April 6, 20196 yr Author 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.
April 10, 20196 yr Got a new strap for my Hamilton. If anybody needs a recommendation for nato straps, head over to www.barkandjack.com The guy who runs the website has a vlog on YouTube. Very cool guy with good taste. https://m.imgur.com/a/1DrSmmn Edited April 10, 20196 yr by pearlandhorn

April 25, 20196 yr I got a bracelet from Strapcode to replace the (to me) uncomfortable one that came with my black SSC: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LL308NI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It really is a great watch though. Should be a strap monster that looks good with pretty much anything.

May 1, 20196 yr 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.

May 12, 20196 yr 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.

May 14, 20196 yr 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.

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.

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.
May 14, 20196 yr 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.

May 14, 20196 yr Where are you, exactly? Boston? I have never heard of anyone having a hard time buying a new Rolex. In Texas anyway. Edited May 14, 20196 yr by huge

May 14, 20196 yr Ok if you have to get a two tone, Hal Martin in Houston has this Rolex Oyster Perpetual Cosmograph Daytona - 40mm - Two Tone - Black Stick Dial - Ref. 116503 $15,500.00
May 14, 20196 yr 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 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.

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
