This usually lives on a bracelet, but for the holiday it’s getting a strap. I think I like my Speedmaster more, but I really like this GMT.

Dude that is frickin gorgeous!!!!

That strap works amazingly on that Tudor! Sometimes I wish I had gotten one of those instead of my blue Pelagos. My LHD Pelagos gets so much love my blue one is basically a safe queen.

Thanks. I’ve lusted after a Rolex GMT since Magnum PI. That’s never going to be in my budget, so when Tudor brought their GMT out I jumped on it. It’s a bit on the thick side, but it’s a really nice looking watch that fits in pretty much anywhere. It’s also the most accurate automatic I own. Usually it’s within about 2 seconds a day if I keep it worn. WOE had a limited edition red white and blue strap that came out that was a bit more subdued but I missed it. I hope it comes around again.

copaup: I love that Tudor and the pairing with the strap is perfect!!! Yea, I know people are always lusting over the Rolex Pepsi, but IMHO the aluminum bezel and coin edges give the Tudor GMT a decided advantage for the win! It's a beautiful choice! Wear it in good health!

My Citizen Diver Watch. Had to order bezel adapter from Hong Kong so I can use metal band. I dont like the company “SP” logo on the clasp. Had the US Great Seal engraved to cover it up.

Thank you for putting the final nail in the coffin of my thoughts about a smart watch. Seriously. Smile

My CZ is on my wrist right now, with my Citizen F150 on deck for a nicer dinner later this week.

I like the CZ, but sometimes a button press takes a long time to go through, with a second press from impatience taking it a menu too far.

Off the topic of new watches, how do you all keep your current watches in rotation? Do any of you have a system or is it just a feeling of switching it up?

I find that I get lazy sometimes and keep wearing the same watch, when there are many to choose from.

There's no method to my madness!
I'm not tossing on my higher end ones for work.
Work / Side Job wise- It's one of the Citizens, the Helm or the Marathon GSAR.

Depends on what I'm wearing when I toss on the other ones. I'm gravitating a lot towards the Omega Moonwatch, but I tossed the quick release spring bars on there so I can use different straps.

I tend to match the watch with whatever clothing I'm planning on wearing. Like CPD SIG, I'm really into swapping out straps and I've literally got hundreds of alternatives to the OEM bracelet or strap that came with my various watches.

Usually match with what I'm wearing. During the work week, it's typically more bracelets, occasional sailcloth, and quieter watches. Evenings and weekends, I like to wear the more bold or colorful watches and more fun straps. I'm a big fan of nato straps and change those constantly.

Non-sequitur. Here's an inexpensive quartz I picked up recently that I was really pleased with. An AV86 1956 Marine in black/steel. Love the retro-dive vibe.

To the asshole who stole this from the FedEx hub in Memphis TN, I hope you get all the karma coming your way chucklefuck. Mad

The EZM13 continues to elude me.

The joy is in the chase, perhaps not in the ownership. The chase will ensue….

It was a beautiful example of a brilliant watch…. Frown

Damn Stick, sorry to hear that.
That was a nice Sinn!
A lefty chrono?!?! SHARP!

Thinking about it… didn’t someone else here get a Watch stolen out of the FedEx hub in Memphis a while back?
About a year or so ago?

Sorry to learn about this Stick! Did you request a crime report? I'd keep an eye on online sales locations such as Chrono24, eBay, etc...! I'm hoping you're getting reimbursed, but the satisfaction of seeing this asshole getting arrested/prosecuted would be even better! Mad

That’s horrible Stick!

Hopefully they’ll be able to track it down. You may recall my Speedmaster was stolen out of the UPS hub in Earth City MO. I filed police reports and sent a letter to the president of UPS. About 30 days later my package “magically “ re-entered their shipping tracking system and I finally got my Speedy back.

I hope the same for you.

I decided I wanted a "panda" type watch, didn't want to blow a ton of $$$ because I wasn't sure if I'd like it. Found some great offerings by Tissot, Seiko, Citizen, Orient and some others. Told myself that all of my watches need to be auto or solar. The auto versions of these were up there a bit. Spent a few days searching and came across this on Fleabay.

It's a Zodiac Grandrally quartz, looks like they were made 5-6 years ago. A 41.5mm case is on the smaller side of what I like but I figured bigger in this case would not be better. I put this SS bracelet on it with the intention of making it look a bit more sportier than dressy


I do like it very much. Now I need more Frown
