Yes. It was my 40th birthday gift from my wife.

It was not in the budget.

I came here by way of randomness...I saw on another board someone referring to Houston as "the tine". I was born in Houston and had family there up until a few years ago so have been there often.

Never heard of this term so I popped over here to understand that and saw this thread. (I may have actually been on this thread years ago, but I don't remember.)

I'm 48. Scared for my 50th.

I better not walk out and find a Corvette in the driveway that was not in the budget.

I think with a bezel that chunky, 37mm might be too small as a guy's watch. But maybe it could work. Though I agree with the above, not a fan of two-tone.
For the last 80 years, 37mm has been fine for a man's watch.


Sure. If you have tiny little bird wrists.
Let me guess. You have a nice dinner plate on your wrist you call a watch.


Let me guess. You have an inflated image of yourself and are oblivious to that fact that people around you just don't get why you have some false sense of security and false confidence. You're lacking something in your life and you try to the fill the whole with a fake ego and sense of style…and then you tell yourself that other people value that opinion.

Relax, I'm partially joking with you. But honestly, nobody cares about your opinion here. Unless you're just trolling, in that case continue on. I enjoy the entertainment provided by a dedicated troll.
Are you still mad I made fun of the guy wearing a dive watch with a suit?

Listen, I am sure you wear you 46mm watches with your jordans think you're cool. And if you believe it, then you are. You do you. I'll do me. And I'll do it right.

I wear my 44m James Cameron DSSD with my Jordans. Didn't realize that sort of thing was frowned upon, but being that. you've already offended several in this thread, I'll take it as I'm doing something right.

Any reason to bump this thread.

And I bet that was the GB thread where a guy recommends getting a Rolex to someone who says they were balking at paying $500 for a Hamilton.

If I hadn't just bought the speedy I would buy this. The white dial seamaster is my favorite

FB algorithm is relentless pushing this Omega on me. I'm not at all in the market but it's a damn good looking watch imo

That's a beautiful leather strap watch. Not a big fan of those in general but this one is nice.

I'm not usually a white face guy but that's beautiful. I'd consider swapping my old black face seamaster for that dude.

Edit: The white face with black leather band is what I'm referencing.

We're talking about the one posted for sale. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I posted the same. The original photo is hard to see detail.

No worries. It's hard to keep up with a conversation when you have to leave it to type a post.

Went to pop my head in at an AD who I had gotten to know pretty well and, long story short, it turned out to be my lucky day!

Stunning. Mind if I ask what it cost you out the door (PM if you prefer)? That would likely cause me to impulse buy if I saw it, much like you did by the sounds of it.

Looks really sharp. Never really paid particular attention to a blue dial on that configuration bc I like the black and silver so much, but that's nice. Think it's listed for like 6k more on Gray market than you paid if I'm not mistaken. **** is so ridiculous right now.
