SeaWolf Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 They have a limited edition speed master with a meteorite dial..
Rossliew Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 I've seen a grey colored and white colored meteorite dial on their website. Both looks tasty but pricey. Are you looking at a purchase yourself?

I do have trouble differentiating all the different Speedmasters and FOIS, Speedy Tuesday, etc etc..they all look the same to me haha I understand where you're coming from. They are very different to me. Obviously I chose the Rolex first...the silvery white needs to be seen in person IMO. Nothing like the polar white on the other models. nI very much like the mechanical nature of the Speedmaster in its appearance. There's a lot going on with the face, but it's all business. Retro yet not. I'll own one. Just a matter of which one and when. I do like the size of the FOIS very much...less than 39mm. 42mm is too big for me. HS
SeaWolf Posted June 28, 2018 Report Posted June 28, 2018 No if I did a speedy it would be the standard moon watch on a bracelet. A friend just got the dark side of the moon. It's a really nice piece, but ceramics are just not my thing. What I am currently waffling about either the jlc reverso 1931 or a rose gold and diamond omega constellation to match the one I got my wife. I would buy the 1931 in a second if it was SS which in principal I think all reverso should be.. Wife keeps bitching she needs to know what to get me for our anniversary so I'll have to work that out. 1

HS There's a couple of pre-loved moonwatches for sale (even a FOIS one) at the local forums here in Malaysia. All within budget but the only one catching my attention is a broad arrow hand re-issue on stainless steel bezel. Love the broad arrow type hand versus the matchstick ones.. 2 minutes ago, SeaWolf said: No if I did a speedy it would be the standard moon watch on a bracelet.

Love the meteorite dial more. As mentioned above, i'm looking at a pre-loved broad arrow hand re-issue model. SS bezel. Or maybe a basic Rolex like the one HS purchased... 1

Hopstretch Posted June 29, 2018 Report Posted June 29, 2018 Speedies just don't speak to me. I know, I know, I'm a bad person. 2
SeaWolf Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 I think as a general statement this is true:: The datejust aside the more traditional watches in the Rolex mens line like the oyster perpetual are under appreciated. 1
HemiSam Posted July 14, 2018 Report Posted July 14, 2018 I received good advice here looking back now that I have the watch in my hands. Much appreciated! HS
EdipisReks1 Posted July 16, 2018 Report Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) My mother wanted my dad's watch back ("back" being relative: she handed me my dad's watch about an hour after the event, when I made it to the hospital, before he had even been transferred to the ICU), and offered me a price that I was willing to take, knowing that I'll get the watch back, so I think I'm about to buy this: Edited July 16, 2018 by EdipisReks1
HemiSam Posted July 16, 2018 Report Posted July 16, 2018 Great looking watch. I prefer w/o the cyclops but I expect I am in the minority. HS
SeaWolf Posted July 16, 2018 Report Posted July 16, 2018 Many feel that way. I think that's why the no date sub is so popular. I got a dssd because I wanted a date function but not the Cyclops.
HemiSam Posted July 16, 2018 Report Posted July 16, 2018 That's a good looking watch, SW. Too big for my wrist but if I could pull one of I'd enjoy it. HS
SeaWolf Posted July 16, 2018 Report Posted July 16, 2018 It wears big, very big, because of its height. Other watches of the same diameter wear much smaller, not unrelated the pearl only lasted 6 months before I knocked it of reaching into a drawer. It is also very heavy, you will never forget that you have it on. Honestly I've had it about 5 years, on reflection the normal sea dweller or a no date sub is a smarter purchase. 1

EdipisReks1 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Posted July 20, 2018 It's growing on me (I've had it for almost exactly 3 hours, now). It's certainly a much dressier watch than the 1675, but also a little undercover. Though I suppose most people will think it's a Sub, even with the fourth hand and the 24 hour bezel. It's really neat how the ceramic bezel changes color with the light, though. 5
Hopstretch Posted July 20, 2018 Report Posted July 20, 2018 Nice! I had a 16710 GMT for a few years that started life with a black bezel, although I swapped in a Coke insert and wore it like that until it got flipped in some gear frenzy. 1
