Yeah, I do not think 43 is big at all. The 46 starts to seem a bit big, but only when going back and forth. The Rolex Glidelock clasp is fantastic. Getting the perfect fit is so easy with this system. Might have to upgrade the Sea-Dweller to the SD4000 or whatever next.

After wearing the Sea-Dweller and Submariner the last 5 days I am back with the 46mm Breitling today and I have to admit it does seem kind of cumbersome.

Happy Birthday

It is a 56mil serial so 1998. I knew I got it in grad school. Here is a pic properly exposed that shows how different the lime is from the Breitling and Omega.

A large part of it is the photography, as I went for low light in a fairly well lit room so the overall lume is degraded by the settings. It is fine, but not as good as many of my other watches. Fortunately, I do not give half a shit as I rarely need to know the time in the dark.

Yeah, I actually used a studio head but the lume dies down quickly and I could not remember how to work the RX-1 since it has been so long, so not bright.

Lume shot for Larry. Not very impressive and fairly short lived.

Heh, yeah the shop had no no-date subs. They had a Hulk and 2 of these, 1 Sea-Dweller and 1 Deepsea but they mostly had non-sport watches.

Hey Zach, can you give me the date?

Really liked the looks of the Datejust II with metallic blue dial but decided to go with an update to my '94 Sub.

Why do you have your arm around the lovely Olivia, no one else seems to be doing that? Where is your other hand, that dude on the other side has a funny look on his face.

Yeah, thumbs are great, but a laser would have been awesome. Going to the watch shop tomorrow to look at the DJ II. Seems like it might be a nice daily wear option that is a bit bigger and looks decent.

No shit, and just imagine how embarrassed I was the first time I tried to use it on a villain and found it was a dud.

Blasting Hi Res Hot for Teacher in the office. Does it get any better?

Yeah, definitely the Goldeneye, just not sure how long it was sold. Seems like I would have bought this in 1998 or 99 in grad school. Doesn't really matter, mine never shot the fucking lasers anyway.

Went through my safe last night and found my original "nice" watch purchase sitting in one of the drawers. Omega Seamaster "Bond" 300m Quartz 2541.80.00. Somehow the thing is still running though I am not sure it has seen the light of day in a few years. I wore this thing every day for many years and loved it. Do you guys know of a serial number search somewhere for these so I can figure out how old it is? Best I can tell is 1998 or 1999.

Yeah, it seems like the smaller watch is making a big comeback. I am going to have to train myself not to immediately ignore 40 and below watches as I think the large watches I have amassed seem to be going out of style. Thought about trading in some nice Panerai and their value seems to have taken a hit since I last paid attention.

I have it on the top tracks streaming now. Seems to be a rap music service. For some reason the Oppo says it is streaming at 32/176.4. Finally decided to switch the screen to the Mini and find the Rival Sons album they talked about in Peter's link. Like it.

I have the new and old extremes running in my house and I have done nothing but set them up and forget them. Never thought about them since day one.

Looks great Zach. Now I want a no date SubC.

I tried on the Deepsea. I like the watch, but it is pretty damn clunky. Like bang on every door jamb clunky. It is a possibility but at this point there probably aren't any Roli I really want and the desire to experience blue lume has passed.

Yeah, I am sick of watches that never fit perfectly. I wish they had that system on the GMT.

Nice, how is the micro adjustment clasp? Seems like one of the best features of the new Subs.

I see a Red Oxx strap as well. What does the knob at 8 o'clock do? I am wearing a 46 now and it is fine. The Rolexes make me feel like I am wearing a ladies watch. Just in my head of course, but it is still kind of strange to see a little one on my wrist.

I went to one of our weirdly named watch shops, Lenkersdorfer, to see if I could try on the BLNR. They of course had none and a long wait list. They did have the stupidly overpriced white gold Pepsi GMTc. Take a $10k watch and add a thousandish dollars of precious metals and it becomes a $38k watch? I really do not like little 40mm watches on my 7" wrist, I think I would not wear one if I got it so I might just move on from the Rolex Ceramics.
