EdipisReks1 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Today's watch. Still doesn't unlock my computers. It goes great with today's look, which is "your dad on vacation in 1968." Edited August 11, 2020 by EdipisReks1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Today. I'm still doing the "your dad in 1968,” but a different 1968. Edited August 13, 2020 by EdipisReks1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Today's watch. Gotta keep it fancy. Goes great with whatever today's "look" is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaWolf Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 The Santos has gotten all of the attention lately and the tank is the tank. But they do have some really nice dress pieces that are currently overlooked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiSam Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 I'm a fan of a few of the Cartiers and that is one of them. Bought the wifey a Tank Francaise for our 20th and gave it to her over a late lunch at Tony's. She loved it. HS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 The Santos is probably my most worn watch that isn’t by Apple, but the Drive extra flat is a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaWolf Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 I use my galaxy watch when on call and when I don't want to carry a phone and/or wallet but I always double fist in those situations. Not sure what my next watch will be but I do really like the Santos. My mom has a tank. Which she has worn for years. Going to Vegas in a few days and will be going thorough the dealers to try and come up with a decision. My wife imposed watch buying moratorium expires in June (18 months after I bought my viper). Really liking the hublot spirite of big bang mecha 10 as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiSam Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 This is a good looking and versatile watch IMO albeit a bit large for me. I prefer 40mm. Arguably more money than it would be without the Fratello connection, but they are likely part of why it's as handsome as it is. https://www.fratellowatches.com/hamilton-khaki-field-murph-auto-joins-the-fratello-shop-catalog/ HS 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaWolf Posted August 24, 2020 Report Share Posted August 24, 2020 Realy, realy like the hands on that watch and I think they did an great job with the font for the numerals. Would much prefer normal luninova. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 For anybody who travels with watches. the brown Wolf roll is on a huge discount. It's quite nice for the money, assuming it's like the one I already have (I bought another). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaWolf Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Was fun walking around the watch shops in Vegas. Not much new obviously.. but I have reached a conclusion as to what I will be getting next, when the watch buying moritorium which has been imposed on me by the wife expires. Its movement looks like it's made from a scaled down erector set and like all SBB watches the cambered case and rubber strap wear super comfortable. Will replace the stock strap right away with their red alligator/rubber strap. The wife is pretty funny she complains a whole bunch about my watches but insists on keeping a list around so she can buy them for me on special occasions. She tried to be slick about noting the watch info while claiming she was txting. Also commenting on how well it fits my wrist. Also at the patek boutique she bee lines straight for the grand comps and just loves how "pretty" they are.. I assured her that of the very b few things in life I know for sure, she doesn't love me THAT much! Edited August 29, 2020 by SeaWolf .

HemiSam Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Shame I missed that one, Jacob, but thank you for the heads-up all the same. I swooped in a bit late...LOL. Interesting choice, SeaWolf. I do like the transparency through to the mechanicals...enjoy seeing how mechanical things function. Sounds like you have a good woman looking out for your. I have fought off the temptation to buy a watch I keep thinking about. Tried it on when we were in Aruba last year (w/o the Sedna gold unfortunately) and liked the feel and look of it. I had just a tad big of difficulty with the rubber strap and it is on the larger side for my wrist at 42mm. Only tried it the one time moving fairly briskly after dinner. Need to give it another romp. HS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaWolf Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 Lug width looks fine on your wrist. The omega rubber straps are not as compliant as other brands. My planet ocean big blue has one thats natural curve just happens to fit around my wrist perfectly. If your thinking at all that you might want the bracelet too get that with the watch. Adding the bracelet later is a rip off. I have a TT blue and yellow gold newest version 300m on the bracelet that the wife got me for our anniversary when it launched a couple years ago. It's been a really nice watch that is passable in both casual and most dress situations. Love the ABC Islands. Would retire to Bonaire if I didn't have to renounce my US citizenship to avoid paying taxes twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 I agree with SW: always get the bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiSam Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 That is a pic off google...not my wrist. I do well with 39-40mm watches, but it didn't look crazy big. I thought about getting the version with the bracelet, but I'm not that keen on it. I had a Seamaster that I "lost" in South America back in the early 2000's...a move and I trusted the office too much with things in my desk...my bad. Was a nice watch. For me that watch is all about the rubber bracelet...the look of it. I'll try it again and take my time and see if it works. I've got a watch ordered...long lead item. I won't jinx it, but I sure do hope it makes it in the next 6-8 months. I'll post here if it does. HS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaWolf Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 If you are thinking of rubber strap and want omega you should also look at the aquaterra, my buddy just got this exact model. They also make TT versions with the rubber strap that are very nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HemiSam Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 I've seen those...handsome watches. I'm kind of stuck on the 300M. Love my Speedy FOIS...wear that a lot. The 39mm suits me. The 300M, maybe a Cartier and the watch ordered should do nicely...LOL. HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaWolf Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Especially if you had one before I understand really liking the 300m. The friend with that aquaterra also has the new black dial SS 300m. He likes it a lot and switches between strap and bracelet. In fact he has an original bond 300m that he bought back in the day. Still in very good condition considering it was his only watch until I became a very bad influence on him in ~2013. He's bought about 10 omegas since then lol! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdipisReks1 Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 Today’s watch. The last couple days were the Santos. No Apple Watch, or caring about what I eat, until I leave Greensboro this coming weekend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
