Omega Seamaster 300m Co-Axial Ceramic 41mm   A very long story behind this watch. Very expensive too. ________________________________________________________ The trouble with trouble is; it always starts out as fun. | |||

Awesome Coke man! Awesome! One of the few I regret having sold.  | |||

I like it! Since the bezel is red and black, that must be Coke Zero. ;-) | |||

I haven't worn a watch in a long time but this thread got me to thinking about one I used to own. IIRC, it was 1985, I was in the 5th grade and I wanted a Swatch Techno Sphere really bad. Finally got one and I loved it. I'm not sure what happened to it but wish I had held on to it. Google pic:  I've enjoyed looking at every page of this thread and it made me want to wear a watch again. A JDM G Shock is supposed to come in the mail tomorrow and I'm thinking about getting a Seiko diver's watch next. Might even get another Swatch because I used to think they were so cool when I was a kid. | |||

Appreciate the compliments, thank you. I definitely prefer the pre-ceramic bezel Rolex watches-before 2007, I think. They wear smaller on the wrist, and IMO are less blingy-although they do scratch and fade. (But there’s one ceramic bezel Rolex which has got to be up there among the most beautiful wrist watches ever made: platinum with a chocolate brown bezel, ice blue face. The “Platona”:  __________________________ | |||

The GMT is the only Rolex that has ever appealed to me, specifically the Coke, later the Batman. Don't have one and don't anticipate ever picking one up, but if I did I'd be lucky for it to be as nice as JD's above!! You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

I am with you on the case size, and I like the smaller markers of the older dials, too. But I like the ceramic bezels. The aluminum ones scratch easily and are vulnerable. My Seamaster's bezel looks rough. I can't warm up to the Platona, though. I just don't care for the brown and blue combination. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I'm hoping against hope they release a CeraCoke GMT with a fully brushed bracelet this year (fat chance, I know). | |||

Any good jeweler can brush those polished center links. I saw a Batman (blue and black) done like that and it was a big improvement. Much less blingy. I couldn't put my finger on the difference when I saw it, because it just looked right to me. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

True. At the Rolex Service Center I worked at we had a special wheel for the buffer called, if I recall correctly, an "Artifex Wheel" that could create a brushed surface in seconds per link. | |||

My humble contribution: GW50001JF  Threw in a F91W for $10   The GW5000 is pretty nice. It is either all steel or mostly steel, IDK. I left it by the window and it picked up the atomic clock radio signal last night. Looking to get an automatic next. | |||

Of all the watches I own this is my everyday, go to. The new ones are all stainless now. This one is Ti.  _____________________________ | |||

That's an awesome watch. Solar power, time sync, every function you could ever want. EVERY collection should include a G-Shock! My older version of the same watch:  I wear it all the time, at least once a week. For a first auto, look at the Seiko 5 line. Superb value for the money and a ton of different designs. I've been thinking of picking up an SNGZ with a Khaki dial. http://wornandwound.com/2012/0...seiko-5-snzg-review/ | |||

Got this on the wrist today.  Really, I don't wear it often enough but there's something that's just right about the way it sits on my wrist. | |||

Mine will probably look like that one day. I really enjoy wearing it but already want another watch! I was thinking about one of the Presage or Brightz JDM Seikos. The diver's watches are thicker than I'd like so maybe something more along the lines of a field or dress watch. I really like the subtle detail on the dial of this one: http://www.seiyajapan.com/coll...tz-automatic-sdgm003 I like the price and lume on this one: http://www.seiyajapan.com/coll...ko-automatic-sarg011 I notice the same movement in their $400 - $500 dive watches. An Eco Drive would be good but I've yet to see one that looks good to me. | |||

I've been trying to be good. It's getting harder. Narrowly averted a STRONG temptation to bid on this vintage beauty. Alas I overcame. So now I'm many dollars to the good, but have no goodies inbound to distract me from all that I have to do. I guess that's a win too, but it doesn't feel like it. hehe  | |||

Those are both very nice watches. I guess the question is if you want a dress watch or a sport watch as those are quite different styles. I've bought two watches from Seiya and helped a friend buy a SARB from him as well. All the transactions were perfect. Really a good guy to do business with. | |||
