Exit interview thoughts on the Ultra-Chron?

...alright Cam, what's your price on the Aikon Chrono? I've been thinking about adding a white dial sports watch in this price range...

*Edit to add: Nevermind - I didn't realize the chronographs were 44mm. That's going to be too big for me.

cool watch, may have been a different story if I had gotten it on bracelet instead of NATO, i just can't get into NATOs.

The layout of your watch is commonly referred to as "small seconds". I haven't seen a real Rolex with the exact layout as yours, but I'm not a Rolex expert by any stretch

Thanks for this and all the other replies. That one is pretty close for sure and small seconds was a great hint. And yeah surprisingly it does still work but this seems to be pretty rare. Most only last a couple of years and I know many folks that didn't survive the flight back home.

I like it better on the brown strap. 39mm and 41mm options available. 41mm is listed around $1,500 on Chrono24 new.

Power reserve is only 38ish hours.

Tudor caliber T601 is a Swiss made automatic movement with 25 or 26 jewels.

Although Tudor does not write "Chronometer" across the dials of T601 powered watches, the Tudor marketing department describes the T601 as having "chronometer performance".

they are all great watches, but just did not get any wrist time, I bought them all because I thought "hey these are cool watches" because I liked something about them, but didn't have enough time to wear them.

I bought the LaCroix and the Frederique Constant from a buddy of mine who owned an AD in New Jersey who was going out of business due to Covid, otherwise I probably wouldn't have bought them. But the FC is a great watch, and the ML is as great watch for the money.

Like that better than most Tudors.

I get the theoretical why of the snowflake hand on most Tudor watches but it doesn't do it for me at all.

I think it's way overplayed.

It's just different than Rolex. Just like all other brands are. But most brands can't say they have the tradition quality, and historical link to Rolex that Tudor can.

Hey I don't even know the guy, I'm just going off the email address he's listed in here multiple times.

Someone just offered me this watch with bracelet on trade. It's used but excellent condition 2022. If you want it for $1400 let me know and I'll see if I can close the deal. Need to know by tomorrow though.

Edit: the Tudor 1926

If it was the brown leather strap I'd probably jump on it, but that bracelet doesn't do anything for me.

Replacement watch straps are the easy part. You have lots of options.

I could get the OEM leather strap for not much more

The picture cuts off at his elbow so unable to see his wrist.

I know when he was POTUS he often wore a Blancpain. Blancpain is also the preferred watch of one Vlad Putin

Also I believe Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill

Breguet and Ulysse Nardin according to that. Would have been a better story if it was the mermaids. Also mentions Putin's Blancpain

Does anyone have a wooden watch? I looked through the pics on the Internet and I should say, they look great. I found this source https://skinwoodstore.com/collections/frontpage/products/engraved-wood-watch-and-gift-box-mens-watch-wedding-gift-groomsmen-gift-anniversary-gift-for-husband-boyfriend-engraved-mens-watch-1 and I'm considering to buy one. Great style at an affordable price.
I like this one

I have never seen one and I can't imagine what I would would ever wear that with. I suppose it's interesting just because it's so different, but not sure what I would ever wear that with or why.

I like this brand for wood watches: https://www.world.holzkern.com/en_world/

We finally got him!

In other news, I'm noticing on the Glaschutte site that they no longer offer the Senator Cosmopolite with the blue face.

This makes me sad in that I now can't pretend I'm going to buy one.

I have an Original Grain Alterra. I rarely wear it, but it's not a bad looking casual watch.
