That is an impeccable collection. Your Rolexes are absolute classics and your tool watches are true tool watches.

Just because a watch can withstand water doesn’t mean you have to take it into the ocean. These things are expensive—far more expensive than when they first came out and were issued to militaries and the like. What’s the point of making yourself uncomfortable?

commented on If you had to chose JUST ONE WATCH FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! ·

I’d like a watch that can dress up because I’m in a suit most workdays. I need a date function and a GMT complication would be a nice bonus.

I was fortunate enough to get a Pepsi last year and it’s certainty on the list, but if price and availability are really no object…

Thanks! It was my first luxury watch, purchased more than a decade ago. The bracelet and clasp show a good amount of wear but the crystal and bezel are still looking as good as new. Cheers!

Seiko 5 GMTs can be had for about $360 if you keep your eyes open for a deal.
