Isn't that Rolex a good bit smaller in diameter than the watches you've worn in the past?

Late to the party.

My first automatic (present from my wife). Temporary black strap until I find something nicer. Any feedback on Hirsch?

Minor problem with getting this watch. I've now ordered another Seiko, a couple of NOS manual wind watches and am very tempted by a s/h Titoni... Is this more addictive than shoes?

^ Nice. Not a big watch guy, so I'm giving this one a try. Just got it in the mail today.

But, we're here for the p0rn right? I enjoy the AD purchasing experience, but I can't afford to do it too often. So I have my own AD display at home. Picking one out for the day is a pleasure

Nice shot - did someone already ask you what's the vintage on your Subs?

Nice Seiko's! ManofKent, do you know what the source/model number of your watch is? I really like the style of that one, and have had good luck with Seiko 5's already....

Thank you! The 5513 is 69/70. The Tudor Sub on NATO is a 79090, mid 80s. All the others are modern sapphire I'm afraid. 5513:

Today is Omega-day. SM300, this one is a modern build of NOS/vintage/modern orginal Omega replacement parts by WatchCo. Nothing for the purists, but I love it

I know mesh is not everyone's cup of tea, but the sturdy Omega sharkmesh suits this one I think. Beyond comfortable, anyway.

Here is one that you don't see everyday. It's a first-generation Ventura V-matic Chronograph.

Your douche levels are high. What do you have against bracelets?

I'd never have described myself as a big watch guy but I think I'm catching the bug. Seiko 5's seem a great place to start.

Thanks - SNK381 I think - from goldfish? on ebay - seems a good seller.
