I love that...is that green trim ring really pronounced or is it more subtle like in your pic?


It's a green tinted crystal. Awesome feature!

"Hey babe, I'm gonna order a new watch from Walmart, that cool?"
"Yeah, sure."

Got a new addition!

Christopher Ward had a 15% off sale for Father's Day, so I picked up their Black diver. It might not show in the pics, but it glints in the light like crazy. Great lume, also!

I got myself the blue one for Christmas. Love it. I beat the hell out of it and still looks great

blue was my second choice. FYI, they have a black bezel/blue face one now, also. kind of a different take on the "batman" color scheme that the submariner has.

Very nice! Am a fan of that one. Never thought I'd like Jubilee but tried one on a few months ago and the band is so comfortable.

Agree. I always thought the oyster bracelet was better suited for these, but the more I wear the jubilee, the more I like it!

Really liked the color of it. Wife would not have been happy though. Supposed to buy another watch in a few months so I was told no.

I have two vintage Rolexes I want to send in to be fixed/cleaned/etc.

I know Bob's Watches does this and have heard good things about Bob Ridley at https://watchmakers.com/. Go with one of those or some other suggestion?

1959 Oyster Perpetual and 1968 Datejust. Both need significant servicing. DGAF about value. Won't ever be resold.

The color is a nod to the Marine Nationale watches with the Rolex Sub case. Wish I had picked up one of those a few years ago before the prices shot up.

Just got a new addition.

It's not the usual diver style that seems to be common on here. It's on the bigger size, but I saw it and immediately loved it.

My two favorite attributes are the constant seconds (see the small window at 9 that gradually fills with red over the course of a minute) and the fact that all 12 numbers are fully legible while it still has a date and GMT complication.

It's probably the biggest watch I have by case diameter, but it's thinner than you might think because they recessed the rubber-rimmed bezel into the lugs.

There are other Audi Sport Oris models that have chronograph complications but they are quite a bit more, and the dial isn't so nice and clean.

Anyone else have some Racing style watches to share?
