Very old.... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

and..... vintage... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

This just came in today. Orient Mako II USA.

my primary obsession is watches .... had Rolex pieces but now prefer Tudor, Rolex's sister company as they are more innovative and most folks don't have a clue who they are so only those that know watches comment on them which is fun ... here is my new favorite.... Pelagos in blue ... not sure which of the two images you prefer in terms of the focus.. wife or watch.

The concept isn't bad.
You can lease or lend.

If someone has a collection he can put a couple in circulation and it give you a return. Its only in the US

Stumbled on this thread and meant to post...needed to take a "family photo" though.

I find it much easier to take photos of cigars than watches.

I was in deep for a while...I've settled down and ended up with these. That's it for now...everything new is too big IMHO. Well that's not true...still need a Rolex 116520 Daytona SS White...then I'm done.

Always wanted to have a Rolex and went a little overboard. It's like cigars.....you just can't stop. Have a few other watches too but wear these most often as daily wear.

Regards.

All my mechanical watches are now in the safe. I've first switched to a FitBit Blaze and now an Apple Watch Series 2. I never thought I'd say this but I don't want to miss the fitness tracker (heart rate, steps, et cetera) and the alerts on my wrist.

Shikar...somehow with all those wrist shots handy I'm guessing you spend some time on a watch forum too! :lol:

I've looked at that exact watch 5 times...like it a lot. I am always looking for something "different" that compliments my collection.  I have a buddy who has like 6 Submariners and they are great but variety baby variety! 

I will be in Vegas Jan 15-21st so I will be "on the hunt". The watch stores at Caesars blow my mind.

Agreed...I bought my Tudor Ranger the second I saw it.  This is next.  $3395 MSRP but easily can be had for $2600ish. A no-brainer IMHO.

My new daily. White gold Pepsi. Have not been buying as many watches recently, cigars another story. Shown with an 07 Esplendido and soon-to-be caramelized onions. Two other loves.
