For years I had a daily Timex, plus the 2nd pic Bulova and Theorema as dress watches. This year I got the Tissot after seeing a cool blue JLC in Vegas but wouldn’t spend the $. My wife OK’d the Speedy Apollo 8 for my BD. That really opened up things for me. I used to think that I hated metal bracelets, and got the…

If I haven’t gone over to the dark side, I’m on the edge of it. I discoversed Venezianico a while ago, and they hit my buttons. Good quality, interesting designs, and decent prices. I am also a rock and mineral collector, so the malachite and meteorite dials were right up my alley. The red Redentore did it for me too. I couldn’t decide between them so I went all in.

I used beating the recent tariff as a reason to nab this Tag Heuer Carrera. I like the motorsports connection, and love the look of the red fumé dial. The day/date display is useful for me in retirement.

So newish guy here, and I have certainly seen that there is a divide on Rolex. I'm not an expert and just looking to start a conversation. Is it a leading, desirable brand, or is it overhyped? I'm just looking to get a sense of where the community falls on this. Full disclosure, I do have a 36mm Datejust.

From some article with watch recommendations, I took notice of an IWC Portofino Chrono with gold features on a black dial and a stainless case. List $6500 and at a discounter $5300. I definitely liked the look and 39mm is a good size for me. So far, so good.

Then I start thinking about other options. How about a gold case too? There are 2 Portugiesers listing around $20K, and a bit bigger at 40 and 41mm. Really nice looking. Are they getting too big? My wrist is 6.5 in. Is the gold case…

This year I have bought a Tissot and an Omega from Jomashop, and a Longines from Swissluxury. All three had full OEM packaging and paperwork, and all three serial numbers were accepted for registration at the OEM websites. I have also seen Watchwarehouse, but have not bought there. How do you all feel about these sellers?
