Thanks for all of the input. If anything, it makes me comfortable knowing there isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to go about it. Hopefully I can find an AD with both options to try them on and see what I like.

I went to an AD today and they actually had all 3 options to try (oyster/smooth, jubilee/fluted, jubilee/smooth). I still liked the jubilee and smooth bezel the best, so that is still my first choice. If they end up getting a jubilee/fluted in however, it's going to be tough to turn down.

With the current state of the market, it shouldn't take too long to get what you really want on a Datejust.

Interesting new addition to the "Alpinist" model lineup. It's a GMT. Kind of a Seiko-Explorer II?

Tried this on today and was too enamored with it to think about snapping a photo. It's the boutique edition. Gorgeous in person

I know brown (or chocolate as I have been reminded numerous times by AD's) are all the rage right now but for some reason I can't get into them. I think that looks great on you though

Not my photo ha. No issues with tats, but my arms are sans tats. Just a stock photo as I forgot to take a shot with it on. Totally get it, polarizing look for sure and I wasn't sure what to think before seeing it on. The whole patina adventure intrigues me as well

I saw this recently too. I really like. I've been looking for a GMT without a metal band (ie Rolex GMT). I wish they had one with brown leather

Mid-level interesting. Certainly not high-end interesting.

You can easily swap a strap. The Strap Tailor will make you almost anything you can think of for less than $200. The best looking out there with factory leather would be the Longines Spirit Zulu Time or the Raymond Weil Freelancer GMT.

I'd never looked at this brand before. Their website has some great looking watches.

The movements are nothing special but I like their use of color. Something different. I stopped by their old offices when I was in London a few years ago and had a cup of tea and talked with one of the owners. I didn't pull the trigger on whatever watch I was looking at because it was going to beat me home and now 5 years later I still haven't bought one.

I love this blue Raymond Weil and I love the price point, but I don't know anything about these watches. Where in the hierarchy of quality would these fall? Seems like a great value, but I also don't know dick about watch movements.

I'm pretty sure the movement in that watch is a Sellita, and that's not uncommon with watches at that price point. Nothing about that should concern you.

I always love these ads I see on Facebook, people in the comments are always like "can you guarantee these are real?"

It's like "yes, they're completely genuine and somehow just less than 5% of the market price"
