Speedmasters are the shit. I think that's my #1 choice right now, but we'll see in 2 years when my wife allows me to consider buying a nicer watch.Swaye said:
Love me some Tudor and if you like the 57 trilogy Seamaster check out the Speedmaster. Killer.YellowSnow said:So Swaye, these are two that are rapidly gaining in my short list...IFL like the late 50's vintage looking pieces. They just scream Bond with the cig lighter in Goldfinger.

@USMChawk is Joma new or used watches?USMChawk said:
Jomashop is having a sale on Tudors. You can get an additional $500.00 off with the code SDTU500. I can’t find this exact color combo though.YellowSnow said:So Swaye, these are two that are rapidly gaining in my short list...IFL like the late 50's vintage looking pieces.

I'm on the record as saying the Pepsi or Coke GMT is the GOAT and the Rolex I aspire to along with two tone blue Sub. I love the GMT Tudor but it would always feel like a "stop gap" measure to me on the way to greatness. Whereas the Black Bay that harks back the look and feel of the Connery 1958 Sub, doesn't really look like anything in the current Rolex line. It's a piece you could keep for ever in the collection while working the way up to the GMT. Same with the Omega Speedmaster which is an affordable (by luxury watch standard) all time classics.Swaye said:@YellowSnow I see all this interest in divers from you, but I thought you were a GMT guy? If you like GMTs and Tudor, they have a wonderful watch you'd love I think. I've owned it for a time. Delightful.
Can get that for 4K all day long.
Only junkies sell their Speedmasters to get a better high. -

I am a complete and total junkie. This is good watch thinking btw. Get the Tudor or Speedy, don't look back. One day get a GMT Coke or Pepsi. Keep them all.YellowSnow said:

Who would have thought the watch nerds thread would make 14 pages?

Sweet watch! Your watch buying is inversely proportional to UW football. I am in full support of this diversion from a dreck season. An oasis in the desert, if you will. I’ve spent more time on this thread than the game thread in the past three weeks...and much happier as a result. No broken remotes or slammed doors in spite of watching Pete flail on the sidelines looking crankier and crankier.Swaye said:Ok fags. This watch is legit. Not my most expensive watch, but certainly the rarest (in this condition). Totally unpolished, unmolested, 1 owner watch in original condition from 1984. This thing is fantastic. Even the paperwork is fantastic and complete - another rarity. Took me almost two years to find this watch in just this condition. Known as the Root Beer in many circles, but also the "nipple dial" (not kidding), Tigers Eye, and most impressively the Clint Eastwood - as it was Clint's favorite watch for about 20 years and worn in several movies. Legendary watch, and in legendary condition. Fuck yeah.

Again, which trailer was that you live in? Asking for a fren.Swaye said:
I didn't want to step on Bazey's big day! I picked up the SkyD Blue the same day he got my shipment to him of the DJ41 Blue.spuden said:Swaye - Congrats on the Blue Sky D!!! Post a pic here when you get there chance. That’s an awesome watch! I thought getting a GMT would satisfy my Rolex itch, but now I’m even more obsessed with finding the next one.
Full collection as it stands today:
So, adding more to the collection huh? What are you interested in right now? I love talking watches! -
Orange and Black.spuden said:Yellow- I’m not as knowledgeable as Swaye, and he clearly has a preference for Omega professionals, but the Seamaster looks like a beaut! I’d definitely consider that one, I love it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it before.
