Just a taste…

I got mine from Amazon or jomashop several years back. Both 009 and 007 under $200 each. 
I get that they are discontinued and there is inflation  but I would have a tough time paying near $500. 
For me, I would just go with one of the new 5kx versions. 

Looks great. Treat yourself!

Congrats! Thanks for sharing your story. 

I like this thread.  I don’t wear anything but have always wanted to pick up a Seiko hat, and have been tempted by some of the niche watch clothing ads that pop up on Instagram. 

Tudor. I have 3 Omegas, but the AT is a line that just doesn’t appeal to me. 
 

I love nato straps but for some reason they don’t seem right to me on the the subariner, gmt, explorer II.  
 

It‘s weird, I know. But your pics are great and may wind up changing my mind.
