I like that watch a lot. When I like something and show my wife and SHE likes it, it's a winner. She loves that one. You should get it.

Yes...yes it is. Which is why, after going back and forth multiple times, I've decided on a Planet Ocean. 45mm, black bezel, orange numerals, rubber strap. Will be ordering tomorrow.

You dog(s)!!! Wonderful watch. Do you know about Jim at Continental Jewelers in DC? He is one of the larges volume dealers in the USA and is where I got my Seamaster. PM me if you want contact info.

You will like it, of that I'm sure. The co axial movement is a thing of beauty.

ATMO; That watch is every bit the watch Rolex is at 1/2 the price. Great movement. beefy case, just all round GOOD.

Great watch, congrats Dustin!
I really dig the rubber strap with deployant, I'd like to put one on my Seamaster one day, except at $400+ it won't be an impulse buy.

A friend of mine has set me with with Jaime @ Feldmar. He's offering it at $400 less than anyone locally, and has been helpful.

Explorer II, The sleeper in the Rolex line. I've had it since the late 80's and it deployed with me to Desert Storm.

Agreed, 100%. Does your face show a hint of ivory?? Nice. Until recently I would have called the Explorer one of the last of the non-bling Rolex tool watch classics. I'm kind of undecided about the new, larger version. Blinged? I suppose change is inevitable, which is why I'm searching for a no-date Sub right now.

Here is my Explorer II . . .



Two weeks into my test,and it is gaining less than two seconds per day. 10 years since its last service. Amazing.

I say just the reverse.
I must not spend money from the watch fund!

Hope it works for you better than it works for me!

After debating on the watch, I ended up ordering it Tuesday. Thursday came around and my account hadn't been charged. Called the guy at Feldmar (friend of a friend) and he said it was being processed. So last Friday it ships. Told him I wanted it before this Thursday (leaving for Hotter'n Hell). Scheduled to arrive Tuesday. Perfect. He sends me an email today telling him to call. So I call him....

The FedEx truck that my watch was on was robbed. 3 packages were stolen, 1 being my watch.

[chasea]

Anyone know anything about these?

The price is right between "No, I never wear watches" and "Yes, I'm going to start wearing watches."

And I think they're gorgeous. How does this look for a beginners first hit on the crackpipe?

reminds me of Sinn (that's a good thing).

Nice watch, I like the black one. The Damasko 36 is another one that has caught my eye in the not quite bargain but not heart stopping range.

[akelman]

I had a Damasko DC56 for awhile, but at 40 mm I found it a bit too small. I traded it and some cash for an IWC 3717, which looks quite similar, but is a bit bigger.

I vote yes, but a couple of questions . . . how big is your wrist? If you are thick boned, you might be happier with a larger watch. Do you plan to wear with euro, brit, or American style suits? I think euro watches look best with euro cut suits. You might also like a pre-owned IWC Mark XVI or a Panerai with a similar style face, but they are completely different watches.

Crap, that sucks. Any updates?
