It's a bit self-indulgent, I guess, but I really like them so am curious if anyone else is of a like mind….

I really like this watch but don't love the current strap. Does anyone have any idea what might look good with this? I'm not very good at this sort of thing.

And I'm wide open to ideas and flexible on budget (to a degree–AliExpress to $200 custom).

There must be a great match out there somewhere….

Thanks!

Can someone help me identify this watch model? The case diameter measures roughly 30mm. I picked it up 20-30 years ago and had kind of forgotten about it until I unpacked from our most recent move. From my own amateurish research, it appears to be from the 50s, but most of the similar watches I've found either have a larger crown in lieu of the 12 hour or slightly different hour markers or red date numerals. I know next to nothing about vintage Rolex watches so really appreciate any help...

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself. I’ve always been intrigued by watches but never been a real collector—although reading many of the threads here I’m now finding it hard to resist….

For years I wore dressier watches to work but now find myself in Southern California and have been picking up some more casual watches. My favorite is probably a Seamaster 2254.40 I’ve had for about 20 years. It was my second dive watch (and first good one) from a time when I used to spend a lot…

I am having some trouble finding the right watch and hope that some of you with more knowledge and experience with nice watches (probably everyone, honestly) might have some suggestions. It would probably help to spell out my needs. As the title says, I’d like a white dial (or a very light one). The watch would be for every day wear in a lifestyle that no longer includes suits (at all) or even sports coats more than a couple of times a season. No longer having an office to go to has…
