commented on If a Rolex Explorer and a Flieger had a baby? Looking for recommendations! ·

I’m a big fan of the weiss though retail prices have increased over the years.

1mm off at 36mm, but this Vaer may have the look of an explorer / flieger.

I’ve come so close so many times to killing the trigger on one of these. Great watch!

commented on Suede strap recommendation for vintage Rolex Datejust ·

Another vote for Fluco suede. Reasonably priced for the quality.

commented on Ryan2vs's WRUW ·

Extremely happy with it. Takes just about any strap and dresses up and down with ease.

Prices to buy new have gone up recently but you can still find them preowned around 1k.

commented on Did I get bamboozled? The Seiko 5 Rowing Blazer ·

My take as well. Not much of a risk. You were able to grab one of the most popular dials. And I like the little interesting you get. Yes, it’s a Seiko 5. But there’s a little more to it. Worth the price? Maybe, maybe not. That’s subjective.

Give it try and see how you like it. Worst case, shouldn’t be hard to move and get your money back. Overall that’s a pretty good position to be in.

Too funny. Note: white is now sold out everywhere except SeikoUSA.com
