I know what my problem is….

I was kinda monitoring/checking what watches I 👍 or :love: here on WUS. It’s kind of startling! I QUICKLY jotted down a few.

AMOST ALWAYS a :love:, a watch I would own, and one I would buy new(no certain order):

A Seiko- SO many nice looking watches. One could probably never go elsewhere and find a watch for every occasion and budget.
Omega- IMO some of the best looking watches out there. Classy, nicely done, and well made.
Tag Heuer- IDC what anyone else thinks, lol! I have two and like…

Black Bay 58 vs Black Bay..

Greetings!

I’m considering these two. I like the color combination of the BB burgundy bezel and black/gold dial. But I like the specs/size of the BB 58 and I’ve tried this one on and know it works…and I like the blue 58 ALMOST as well as the BB Burgundy/gold/black.

So the question is…How does the BB 41mm wear for you? Anyone have both models that could comment would be great! I’ve got several 40, 41, 42mm watches but the case thickness of the BB iis my primary concern.

Thank you!

First Rolex…bought two!

I told myself for years I wasn’t going to go down this road… LOL. I always said I was just going to be an Omega/TAG guy and let it go at that….then…

I’ve stayed away from even LOOKING at a Rolex watch….SERIOUSLY! And then I accidentally saw a green OP 41mm on eBay. Then I googled pictures of it. I honestly thought it was the most beautiful watch EVER. Simple. Classic. NO DATE! I’ll have to investigate…

Made an “appointment” with the closest AD. Nice guy. I sent him two…

Monaco or Speedmaster?

MERCY….I don’t NEED another watch! BUT…

I want another chronograph. My wife bought me a Seiko Speedtimer…I’ve never wanted a chronograph so it was my first one. I love the thing and I didn’t expect to! Now I have a little chronograph itch.

Omega Speedmaster… You know…it’s really a 10 out of 10 watch. Great looking…casual…formal…stylish…timeless…and kinda COMMON. That’s the worst thing about it. It lacks the uniqueness some of us like. Seems to hold their value…

So I bought a DOXA!

I’ve been looking AND wanting a DOXA since I joined the forum, about 12-13 years ago. I always had three things that kept me from buying one: opportunity cost, price, and selection. So I could never buy a DOXA in place of something else, AFFORD it, or make up my mind which one to get.

So enter NOW. Going on a cruise in a couple of weeks(Explora I which has a Rolex boutique, BTW!) and wanted a new watch to wear to the beach, go on excursions, swimming, etc. Like I don’t have 10 watches…

Cruise watch, Doxa or Tudor?

I’m going to buy a new watch for cruises. Mainly it’s a watch for when I go ashore. Probably will be swimming, snorkeling, hiking, etc involved. I’ve been using a Citizen Promaster Dive, an orange-faced Seiko Air Divers 200M, and a Bulova Devil Diver for this duty that are all perfectly capable! So this will be a move up. I’m retiring this week and the old saying, “you can’t take it with you” kinda holds true.

So the two I’m looking at…

A DOXA Sub 300 Professional on a bracelet
Tudor…

So I bought a Santos!

I didn’t start out to buy a Santos. In fact I started out to by a rectangular-ish dress watch. As things usually start out I was looking at sensible candidates which started with the Hamilton American Classic Boulton! Then I decided on either the Boulton OR a Longines Dolce Vita. I was able to actually LOOK at the Boulton and thought it was slightly small and couldn’t locate a Dolce Vita in my area. Then I was like….BOTH of these are really a copy/homage of a Cartier Tank!

Of course I…
