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:

Full metal Casioak.
Mudmaster. The name makes me think of a dirty mudbutt in need of a bleach cleansing.

I still think Rolex is awesome, but it's definitely gay. Too many crypto bros and nouve riche Chinese, A-rabs, etc, fagged out the brand.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.

Yeah in 2018 Rolex was still Rolex. Now you can't swing a dead cat in any major city without hitting 12 dudes under 30 who are wearing them. Everyone has a Rolex. Especially douchey new money losers. Tudor/Omega if you want a tool watch, and then skip right to real money watches like AP/Patek/Journe if you want to actually wear something that not every tech bro in the county has on. Cartier if you want to be different and on your own program. I own one Rolex now. Doubt I'll buy another. Brand has been ruined. Plus Rolex, as a brand, is a giant asshole.YellowSnow said:

I should have bought Mrs Snow a Cartier Santos. It would still sit in a safe most of the time, but still, it would be cooler.Swaye said:

Here is my Bulova. It was a gift from an old boss back in 2008 or so? I am guessing he didn’t want it and regifted to me. I didn’t say no to a free watch. If you wear it for a week it will make your wrist bald in one spot. Again, I am no fancy lad!
And I will skip from buying a Rolex. Don’t want to be a faggy homo!
Years ago, like 20 or so there was a Rolex billboard on the corner of Eastlake and Nickerson I believe. Right near the Fremont bridge. Someone had written Schmolex below the Rolex. Still makes me laugh to this day. Rolex Schmolex.

And my third and last watch shot. I was given a $300 gift card as my company cancelled the high performers trip due to da Rona. So I bought this watch as to memorialize that achievement. Nothing fancy at all.

Bought myself a Luminox this year because I can't read any of my fucking watches in the dark anymore. My wife says it kept her awake the first night I wore it to bed. That's a good enough road-test for my sorry destructive ass.
You guys who dump several K into a time piece have my respect, because a kick-ass tool is always worth the money. But having lost a few watches and/or had them stolen over the years, I just can't justify going too far North of $300 these days, just to pay $50 to $150 bucks every couple years for a new crystal. -
Last year it was at the Phoenician in Scottsdale. This year it is in Maui. They just went cheap for 2020 despite a kick ass year. Better than a stick in the eye and I am grateful. So, I bought the watch for myself as a gift for a great 2020.PurpleThrobber said:

I've come full circle, picked up the Z-Blue Dial Milgauss after previously owning the black.
The color combo of green Sapphire glass, orange lightning bolt and blue sunburst kicks ass.
It's a Rolex that doesn't take itself too seriously and that's why I love it.

Nice looking watch, but something about the lightning bolt second hand seems a bit gimmicky. It’s giving some Pikachu vibes.Doogles said:I've come full circle, picked up the Z-Blue Dial Milgauss after previously owning the black.
