Which watch do you love, but will never buy? And why?

I'm a devout Omega fan. That said, and in my attempt to round out my 'proper' mix of Omega models, the Constellation Pie Pan is just that watch for me...

Best Mesh Bracelet(s)

UPDATE: Well, given my impatient ass, at least for now, I put the original bracelet back on. The challenge is the 21mm lug width. Neither Forstner or...

So, if I'm lucky (fingers crossed), I'll be buying two Seamaster Planet Ocean 600 Chronograph's this week. I've really fallen for them. I love the big...

Beautiful combo. The strap is stunning.

Always curious how tastes / preferences vary. It would be boring otherwise, wouldn't it?.

This is my newest Speedmaster. I bought it because I like the polished center links. I'm a big fan of rose gold too.

You're a trooper! I'd never have enough patience to do all of that. Especially when considering I'm paying 'full pop.' If not full pop 'plus.'

Stunning piece! I love the original vintage (now known as 'retro') colors they used then. Gorgeous.

Not at all trying to sound disparaging, but it does seem you had to court him a bit. You were still at their mercy, combined with the luck of the draw?

Good for you! Beautiful watch.

But the need to have to do this all sounds silly to me. More contemptibly, it always seems like a fix is in on their retailing. See 'Spokanesteve' above.

commented on How loose do you wear your watch? ·

'D'...definitely! I can't do too sloppy. And I certainly can't do too tight. Ouch!

I'm in the 'a bit loose' camp. I want it to be able to move, but not flop around.

I have seen 'C' before. Cringe. Gives me the willies!

commented on Omega better than rolex ·

It seems it should a 'rule,' no, a qualifier. Any time anyone mentions a watch case size, their wrist size should also be mentioned. Again, a qualifier, if you will.

This would certainly help avoid people going off on each other over their case size preference(s).

My wrist is just a bit under 8". Not small, but not huge either. But stands to reason why I just might like a bigger case.

Thank goodness the watch manufacturers have taken that into consideration.

Love Bites Twice

Well, I did it. No, not a new watch purchase. Rather, I went back to the original bracelet on the Planet Ocean and I'm in love all over again. And, co...

If you have a watch for sale, then 'sell it!'

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...

New DSOTM - I knew Omega had it in them.
