Which watch would you get if you had up to $2,500?

I'm showing specific models that I like, but any variation of the Seiko Willard, Oris Aquis, and Zodiac Super Sea Wolf GMT can work. Also which watch would you potentially get with the leftover money?

I'm glad that you liked it, Tudor did well with this one! Yeah the thickness on paper is a bit daunting, but seems like most people who try it on are ok with the thickness which is very promising!

Ah yeah the BB GMT is an awesome watch for sure but sad to hear that your watch needed to get sent in so quickly. I'm guessing it was for the date wheel? Thankfully it seems that Tudor has ironed out those issues with the BB Pro but I'm knocking on wood everyday lol!

Much appreciated man!

(go for it!!!) I'm glad to hear that you didnt think it was too thick initially, bc that means it'll wear even better as time passes!

Hey Joe, I actually already sold the BB58 Blue! The 925 is still here although its a different beast lol 

commented on Is The Pelagos 39 A Full On Pelagos? ·

I havent thought of it that way! For me the pelagos has been the collection of defining features that make the Pelagos, the Pelagos, like the awesome clasp, the stepped chapter ring, and the titanium construction all put together. And all together it makes the Pelagos a unique watch amongst all watches for me. 

But thinking of the pelagos as the unique modern line within tudor is true as well and it being the unique dive watch within the brand is a big reason why it holds such a special place for me. In the end the essence of a watch is more important than the spec sheet!

Yeah agreed! in the end the experience of a titanium tudor diver will be special no matter the form factor.
