Too lazy to go put on a nice watch... So I'll post this and bring this thread back to earth a bit.

With how similar Rolex models are, that doesn't make a ton of sense. What other models do you like?

I dont think they are that similar at all. Each will differ in style, wear, and functionality. You have to realize Rolex makes tool watches that are built like tanks and not dress watches (except the Cellini). Buy a Cartier or something similar if you are looking for a true dress watch.

You answered your own question.

I only like the Daytona, the Milgauss (I own this one), and this one here which I somehow don't recognize. Discontinued model? These three look quite different from one another.

I don't really like any other Rolex because they all look similar and I frankly don't like the way they look. Actually think some of the other models that folks worship on here are ugly as hell, but I stay away from that so I don't get banned from the thread.

You don't think the Day Date, Datejust, OP, and Sky Dweller are similar?



Or the Sub, Deep Sea, Sea Dweller, & Yacht?

The Milgauss is definitely a close cousin to the Oyster & DJ. It has some different characteristics (second hand & crystal namely), but lots of similarities.

You picked ones that are similar. That doesn't mean ALL are similar. Why are you such a contrarian on this thread?

So you agree they are similar. Thanks.

Gents, if you had $50k to spend on a watch, what would you get?

1 watch or divide it up? Does it have to be readily available?

That's a question I don't think I'll ever have to answer. I'm sure you could have an incredible collection for $50k

I might need to cheat slightly. These are just a hair over 50k.

Respect for actually having your GMT set to GMT which apparently isn't common judging by posts here

It doesn't need to be set to gmt, you can use it as a second hour hand. I set mine to my second hour hand to my home time zone when I am traveling overseas so I can look quickly at what time it is at home. It is very helpful when trying to communicate with my family when my time zone is constantly switching.

Setting GMT gives three zones instead of two. CST is -6

I'm assuming you mean using the bezel for the third? I hate my bezel being misaligned. Using it as I mentioned is the way I prefer, but I reckon you're correct in that it could be used that way.

On another note Grand Seiko just sent me a random pen and notebook and I haven't bought a watch from them in about 9-10 months

This is the way I do it, mainly because I'm not interested in committing the GMT +/- to memory.

That's the way it's suggested but I don't move the bezel, I just add or subtract. Also GMT/UTC is inherently somewhat useful when flying

Same. I set the GMT to home and move the hour hand if I change time zones

The one you already own you m'fer.

On a positive note, this leaves me money (I think) to get something else. Really digging this one:

Managed to grab a Uranus too. They only had the one Pluto and could only buy one at a time. My colleague offered to buy another one for me and I could reimburse him. Was between the red, yellow, or blue and I went blue for the "Tiffany Blue" appearance for the woman I'm seeing right now.
