The Arnie is badass. Probably too big for my wrist, though.Doog_de_Jour said:
Never be ashamed to speak of Seikos around me. I know I’ve posted several Grand Seikos in this thread. I also dig the Presages for something dressy.BleachedAnusDawg said:Good thread bump.
I'm back to slumming it looking at Seikos and microbrands. Currently looking for a wannabe Daytona, as well as some kind of GMT now that Seiko has released a cheap "office GMT" movement.
I keep coming back to this since it's solar and would be cheap to own and no maintenance.
I don’t know if you’re into divers, but I guess they make a Pepsi version of the “Arnie”:

I've turned over a few rolexes, right now the CHNR (root beer gmt) is the only one I own. I will get the Z-blue Milgauss soon, I do miss it and it fits my personality.Doog_de_Jour said:
Wait, did you get rid of your Milgluass? If so, that makes me sad.Doogles said:Doog_de_Jour said:This thread needs more Cartier.
Tank Louis Cartier and Tank Must - the anthracite grey with the rose gold is nails
Ballon Bleu de Cartier - usually I’m not a big fan of the diamonds on the dial face, but this is really pretty
A @Doogles favorite, the Santos - I dig the BAMA color-way
My Dog and watch because I'm gay.
The Bama Santos is the santos-dumont. A little dressier than mine. Beautiful all around.
It's been awhile so maybe already posted, but I used to have the green tank must and still have a dinky vintage gold plated must from way back.
And I love the painting. ☺️ -

I am not a big watch guy. I only own three. One was a gift, Bulova. The other was a gift from work, decent looking Citizen. But my pride and joy is this Seiko I have had since 2003 or so?
@PurpleBaze even said it was a decent looking watch at a HH circle jerk in Woodinville.
I am not a fancy guy. If I were to spend the big bucks I think I would go with a Submariner with no date. I hate having to adjust it. I did see a nice Tag at the mall a few days ago.

So tying this in from the Gladiator thread threadjacking, @BleachedAnusDawg , I think the past few years of being a watch poser following the hobby a bit, have made me Team Omega, even if we do get to the point where one can walk into an AD and buy a Sub or GMT at retail.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Short answer: yes. At the rate it is imploding you will have subs in cases at retail in the next year I'd guess. Daytonas will stay hard to get, but I bet even Pepsis will be in cases in 2-3 years. The party is over. Nobody is buying. Everyone is selling but trying to hold artificially high prices so they don't completely go underwater on stock. It's a mess if you were buying at peak levels.YellowSnow said:
Who buys a watch and flips it? You should love that thing and keep it forever.
You can already walk in and buy the JV luxury of your choosing. Big boy brands are next in the coming 12 months. Actually, when I was in Chicago this past August I stopped in the big boutique on the Magnificent Mile and they had some Rolex in cases and available. Not the GMT, Daytona type stuff, but 2 years ago there was nothing at any AD's.
I was staying the Ritz Kapalua Bay in October for wedding and did quite a bit of watch observing. It seemed like every other rich, douche canoe, JAG, had a stainless, black dial Sub. Don't get me wrong, I love that watch and it's a classic, but they seem kind of cliche to me now. It's almost like a I get more watch lust when I see some dude wearing a Speedmaster or Seamaster. -
I would have never bought the Tudor for myself (or even seriously tried to raise it with the Mrs. as a good idea to spend $4k) had it not been a gift from her. Rolex? Hilarious to even think about dropping that kind of money on a watch and the wait-list stuff is not my kind of thing. I like much of what Omega has to offer. Would be very happy with the Seamaster 300 '57, new Speedy, etc.YellowSnow said:

Random thoughts. Rolex is gay. Tudor and Omega are where it is at now if you want a good tool watch and no games.
@Doogles love the Zeus painting (yes I doxxed your dog). DO you think that guy would do one for me of my Panerai with a burning wagon in the background?
Seikos are awesome. So are G-Shocks. We need more G-Shocks in this thread.
@Doog_de_Jour you need to quit the foreplay and get a Cartier. -
It was a great gift. But still I don’t think a Tudor is an unreasonable, aspirational purchase for a middle class rich guy. Rolex used to be this, but no more.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Absolutely. He's from some war torn eastern Europe Sithole, I couldn't read the tracking number and half expected the package to blow up in my face.Swaye said:Random thoughts. Rolex is gay. Tudor and Omega are where it is at now if you want a good tool watch and no games.
