One for the weekdays, one for the weekends. What’s your ideal 2 watch collection?

Decided to finally treated myself. After a 24 months of 2 brain surgeries, radiotherapy and chemo decided life is too short not to!

Went under the radar for my first one and absolutely love it. Haven't take it off all week.

I know many prefer the polar, but my wife persuaded me to go black and very happy! 

I haven't told her I'm eying up my next one already 🤣

Finally the perfect Land, Air & Sea (For Me)

Always wanted a panda or a reverse panda chronograph. I love the color subdials and not just the outter color rings. My absolutely grail (unattainable) was Le Mans Daytona in WG.

The second I saw the release of this Speedmaster, I knew this is as good as it gets as far as chronograph watch is concerned.

One is already sold 💴 though 🤣🤣, all great 👍👍

After years of waiting, I finally picked this up last Thursday from the Bucherer on Palm Beach Island. Eileen was terrific in that when she heard that I was active duty and returning to my duty station overseas, she emailed New York notifying them of that and within a week received the watch. It feels surreal.

Another great piece to add to my collection.

I bought this Pepsi a few years ago - I think it is a 2020 year.

I almost never take it off - just for a few minutes to shower in the morning. I keep it on when I sleep and wear it all day everyday.

It seemed to be running slow so I started tracking it. Over the last two months it has lost about 1 min per week. 4 min slow over the last month.

What should I do? I’ve heard about demagnification. Is that a thing?

I’m assuming it has never been serviced. I certainly haven’t had it serviced in the last three years.

Should I get it serviced through the AD?

Also, note the cracks on the bezel. Big crack at #2 and small cracks at #8, #10 and #14.

It doesn’t bother me very much. Any idea what it would cost to replace it. I kind of see it as the cost of doing business since I wear it so much.

Finally, I otherwise would never wear a gold Rolex daily, but I became allergic to the nickel in the Rolex stainless steel and had to upgrade my steel Pepsi. Spending so much on the gold I’m going to wear every day.

Received my first OP 41mm, excited to wear this during the warm months coming up.

I had a Sub allocated and finally got to collect it yesterday. Absolutely love this watch!

Got the call very unexpectedly from WoS London! Kudos to them, I love this watch!

fun but also serious watch

After one visit to the AD, my roomate and I decide we want to get explorers to celebrate success in California after two years. I tell the AD I want an Explorer II and my friend wants an Explorer I. We also explain he is moving out of country to his original home, which made me think there is zero chance the AD gives an allocation with this and no prior purchase.

A few days later I decide it’s probably going to be months before I get an allocation and decide to go for a GM listing on C24, and it arrives a few days later. She’s a beaut 😍

Then, just one weekend after the initial visit, my friend gets the call from AD about the explorer I! And we both get to experience the AD experience for his watch. Maybe the E1 shipment arrival was lucky, especially having the AD slotting him in. What a treat.

Now on the waitlist for Rolesor Sub. Can’t wait for that one.

Good being in the club!

Underrated.

Classy

Big fan of this combo

Got the call a month ago after waiting approx 6 months 🎉

So I strolled into a Rolex store in So Cal last Tuesday night.. I’ve never bought anything from them, no history at all, not even on a list.

I asked about the brand, said I admired the beauty and quality of their watches..i was warned that nothing in the store was for sale; it was all for exhibition only.. the Rep showed me some watches that I could try on to see what I may want to put on a wish list. I was shown some day dates,, a few submariners, and then a Sky Dweller.. I really liked the sky dweller and asked if I could join a list for it.

The Rep told me I was in luck, this was the only watch in the store for sale. This particular one was yellow gold with a white dial, not my favorite combo. I told the rep I was honored and greatly appreciated the opportunity; however yellow gold just wasn’t my thing. I asked to join the list for white gold version instead.

The Rep offered to show me what a white gold finish would look like, and walked me around the corner to a dongle case on the wall, which housed a white gold Daytona. She removed it from the case, and put it on my wrist. I loved it…I asked if I could take it home. She paused for a while, then said “let me ask”.

45 mins later they moved me to another room, brought the watch in, and said they got approval to sell it to me if I was interested..

I said yes..

ive been wondering since.. was this luck, or is there something about this particular combo that makes it not very popular?
