Railmaster. (And maybe see if moneybags can throw in a fresh bottle of ketchup. I'm almost out.)

Try it on first.

commented on GMT placement ·

Living in Seattle, but "still call Australia home", as the song says :)

12-hour hand = local time here in Seattle (GMT -8)

GMT hand = GMT

Bezel = "home" time in Melbourne (GMT +10)

(Edit: only now realizing that Melbourne is on Daylight Saving time, and therefore +11! 🤣)

commented on Do you ever regret making that big watch purchase? ·

I bought a watch for my 40th, my first expensive watch. I had a lot of problems with it, and eventually, after multiple failed attempts to repair, and then a replacement that also failed, the manufacturer just gave me my money back.

With that money, I purchased an Omega Aqua Terra. I still have it, eight years later, it gets with regular, and it is still my favorite watch. So no regrets... Once I found the right watch.

commented on Matching wedding ring and watch metals? ·

My wedding band is platinum.

I can afford either a platinum watch, or my wife. Not both.

Let me see if I've got this straight...

If Rolex collapsed, none of us would be able to buy new Rolexes at retail from ADs. Only at a mark-up from resellers who had already secured theirs?!

What a horrifying and far-fetched fantasy this is! Let's hope and pray it never comes to pass.

Great collection!

If I were looking to add to it... I don't see anything with full Arabic numerals. Maybe a flieger or a Portugieser?
