Wow, some serious watches. Love the vintage Rolex chrono, and that Halios dial is awesome.

This is the second one of these where Halios shows well with some really nice watches.

That's dedication. There are few things I'd make a 4hr drive for. Watches aren't one of them, but that looks like a helluva GTG.

Keep driving south. You can have dinner with me, Tom, and Ralph.

Neat. I've seen the herringbone strap somewhere but can't place it. Go left a state and I'll buy you lunch.

Greg...Suigeneric has a houndstooth. The one I remember is from Hodinkee and I don't think that's it.

I agree with JP. The Seaforth holds up well.

I recently saw one of those vostok amphibia watches on some guy in dc - I asked him about it and he said he had about a half a dozen of them and paid less than 80 bucks a pop... Actually a really decent looking watch in person

There are Paul but they are hit or miss on function. You have to buy from a good seller. I think Art has some info on a good seller.

Thanks T - figured as much at those prices

I have to sell a few before I even think about buying anyway :cheers:

One thing that is common on them is crown wobble. They all tend to have it. I think I read it is part of the design of them.

Best thing about most of those watches is the quality of the pics. Thanks Mike
