So, if I'm lucky...

Omega - Rolex a tie. Tudor...a distant 3rd.

If this is a Rolex / Blancpain question, why is it in the Omega section?

commented on Kannscustomwatches's WRUW ·

I have some beautiful aftermarket leather straps. However, 1) As the temps heat up I'll be pulling out a NATO or two. And 2) Being that they're not that expensive, they're fun to swap around.

I love how they can totally change the look of any watch. And any 'cloth' material (or bracelet) is better in heat.

BTW - I'm a 'single pass' guy.

commented on No time for titanium? ·

I considered a titanium watch version on a Planet Ocean. I stayed with the stainless steel. Very, very happy I did.

Seems way too much emphasis is being placed on watch weights and/or case sizes. Lighter & smaller doesn't interest me. Not even a little bit. Give me my big, beautiful boat anchor!

commented on How many watches per day? ·

One, sometimes two. I tend to wear the lighter dial watches during the day. Night, the darker ones. Weird?

commented on Best Combo ·

Boom! There it is. Watches & Whiskey.

BTW, Option 'D' for me would be Watches & Wife. 😉

I'm guessing I'm not much different from most here. Meaning, as we're collecting watches, we're buying some used ones along the way. The older watches...

Are Dark Colors the New Blue? At Least a Little Bit?

Inspired by the earlier posts of the day here, are dark colors becoming the new blue? I'm seeing a lot of models of new watches featuring dark(er) col...
