Re: White Speedmaster

This is magnificent. I never understood why people go crazy with Daytonas when there was a (IMO) vastly superior option at a much lower price. Now that it comes in white, I will understand it even less About the only things the Daytona offers (besides the absurd wait list at Rolex ADs) is a smaller...

Re: New Seiko Thread

I wonder what the difference is between the 6R35 and 6R55. 70-h PR vs. 73-h PR? [/quote] Specs on paper seem pretty similar, but sounds like the 6R55 is considered an update. It may be a little slimmer also... was released initially in some pretty thin King Seiko's late last year. Published accurac...

Didn't notice the 3 day text at first, but that's ridiculous imo. If they worried more about accuracy with the 6R rather than power reserve I'm betting they would attract far more buyers.
Exactly. We are all begging for better accuracy with these and they give us more PR instead.

Re: White Speedmaster

Looks like pricing on this one is going be Rolex-like for awhile. Yep. As with anything shiny and new, if you want to be the first kid on the block to own something, you're going to pay full price. I think the current Speedy in Black and White still represents a good value compared to a Daytona. No...

Is the 36mm Explorer considered a ladies watch?

Re: Zuludiver Octopod

When they first came out, the clasp was about £48.00. Now they are £68.00 or £78.00 for black. I got a bundle of 10 x 22mm straps & an original clasp pre-owned recently for £60.00 recently. The clasp is a bit big, even for my reasonably large (7.5") wrist, but overall I'm happy at the price paid & ...

Re: Experiences SELLING to online dealers?

I've had good luck selling to Crown and Caliber. Sold them a couple of BB58's, a Grand Seiko and a 16600 over the course of several years. Bought the 16600 off them and wore it for a year and sold it back to them for the same $$ as it was when Rolex prices were shooting up. Most offers were a little...

Re: School Me on Joma Shop

I've bought a couple of watches from Joma long ago, and it was fine, but my rule of thumb is that the discount better be significantly more than the cost of a service from the Manufacturer, as Joma's service isn't to be trusted... especially with something with an in-house movement. Also a lot of th...

Re: Is the Submariner the GOAT?

I dunno…. If the FXD were branded Rolex it would be tied for “the best Rolex” title with the Sub. It would also be 4x (at least) as expensive as it is. As you know, I prefer it over my 124060 even after removing the movement issue from the equation. People often don't realize that the FXD is actual...

Yeah, When I buy a watch now I pretty much know that I need to keep it unless I would sell it here.... or someplace low risk like Crown & Caliber.

My dad roasted his own beans for a couple of years. He enjoyed it but switched to just buying already roasted beans.
