Let me know what it costs and where you get it fixed if you do, please.

My clasp on my bluesy is messed up from getting it caught in construction equipment. Looks fine, but pops open randomly.

I decided to dress up my Batman GMT. Went with a little blue on the stitching to tie it all together

Not normally a fan of two-tone, but this one is growing on me. 18k bezel and crown. 39mm, Traveler-style GMT, COSC certification, 100m WR, and a millimeter thinner than the closest competitor, the Tudor GMT.

Available with a bracelet (+$100), but I kind of like the strap. $4,200.



Either this or the 39mm Pelagos will likely be my next watch. I agree with you about the leather strap.

Edit: I say "next," but I actually have something 1960s-vintage arriving today. Time to go check the package tracking.

I hate two-tones but I like this. I think it's because of the strap. I would not like this on a bracelet.

I don't think it's bad on the bracelet, but it's not as good imo.

Also, the bracelet doesn't have it, but the leather strap had a bit of quick adjustment to it on a video i watched.

Timing of this couldn't be any more ironic. Stopped into an auto parts store this morning on the way to work for a couple maintenance items for my truck. Over heard 2 employees making some comments under their breath about my watch as I was walking out that made me a little uncomfortable. Didn't help one had been talking about being short on cash to pay his bills this month.

First time in a quite a while I've been nervous to wear my Rolex.

That's one reason I decided to put mine on leather for a while. Those polished Jubilee links shine like diamonds !!

Part of town wasn't one to worry about. Small area of commercial surrounded by 7 figure homes in an old established neighborhood.

I was just trying to make casual conversation as they were *****ing about inflation when I walked up to the counter. I just echoed that by saying it was insane the cheapest wiper blade set was $50.

That really sucks.

Maybe I'm rationalizing or being cheap/tight but those are concerns I'd always have walking around with a timepiece of substantial value.

I hide it under my seat or something because if you get robbed you're going to be emptying your pockets too so fat lot of good that will do for you

Man if I was a mugger, I would not ask someone to empty their pockets. In this state especially, you might not like what comes out.

If I was robbing someone, I would not let them start putting their hands anywhere I couldn't see them. Give me your five figure watch, keep what little cash people still carry and credit cards that'll be canceled the moment I'm out of sight.

I've practiced the scenario many times. Don't know how I'd handle it if it ever came down to it (what else was at stake and who else was around), but reaching into my back pocket for a wallet and reaching to 5:00 for 12 rounds of 9mm does not look any different to someone standing in front.

I have a fancy watch and a regular stainless steel watch at work with me. I enjoy wearing my solid gold watches but if I have to go anywhere that's not a few specific areas (my country club, a few nice restaurants, home or the office) I swap out for my omega seamaster Chrono on rubber.

I really enjoy traveling in the Middle East because then you can wear your bling 24/7 without any fear of being robbed.

One thing you never get used to is Unironically calling another dude "my dear" and the hand holding, these dudes love to hold hands while walking. Very awkward

re: hand holding. That's a "when in Rome" I would have to pass on if at all possible.

I just wanted to pop in here and say thanks to everyone that helped come up with this design. You guys really perfected this and now it's coming to fruition. We'll approve the dials in person this week and have these ready to go during football season. We just put the pre-order page up on Friday and already have 16 orders.

Thanks to everyone that contributed to the discussion!
