How do you manage to maintain service on large watch collections???
Tudor’s teasing me!!!
I know, I know….it’s not a Rolex Kermit, nor is it the Rolex “Starbucks”. It’s what I consider the Casio “Starbucks” or the “Bill Gates Starbucks”. The Casio Duro is certainly affordable diver with 200m of water resistance.

I’d certainly try to make the movement repair on my own, but no way I’d ever get the watch moving again(even with training). I’ll leave it to the pros.🤣Crazy that Seiko servicing costs so damn much considering the affordability of those timepieces.🤦🏻
Quite honestly I’m going to have to put a halt on my watch adventure after I purchase the Tudor BB Pro next year. These prices are now just way too prohibitive for us regular folks!🙅🏻I’d imagine the cost of servicing the watches will increase congruent with the price hikes.🤦🏻
Personally, I do a lot of thinking and soul searching before purchasing anything so I don’t end up flipping anything I own. I hate that feeling of buying something(like a luxury watch) only to have buyer remorse once you own it. Of course I avoid hoarding and keeping my watch collection to a manageable quantity. This helps me have maximum enjoyment with the very select pieces I decide to own. I guess a “less is more” approach to collecting.
Pick the one that speaks to you the most! Personally, I try to avoid opinions of others because we are all different people with differences in tastes, requisites and experiences. Go with your heart, but be sure to try them on before you commit to buy.
Grail: Rolex Explorer II ref. 1655(late 1970’s)…the one on the right. I’m buying the Tudor BB Pro (middle) next year because I can’t ever see myself spending $35K on a vintage Rolex, let alone wearing it on the mean streets of Los Angeles😤🤬😡
It’s not so much the brand heritage I look for when purchasing a product like a watch. I’d like to know that when I’m buying something cool that there’s some substance behind it. Having an understanding of the thought process behind a product, or a company philosophy certainly adds value to the perception of the product we’re buying. Just my 2 cents. 🪙 🪙
