Unless you know exactly what you are looking for, it's impossible to look through.
Browsing through 'The Twelve' i had to get through a page of Loco's and Twelve X's before i started seeing what i was looking fo.. oh wait, mo…

I honestly love the idea of a Nato Strap… but every time I put one on a watch, it never lasts a full day
Maybe it's because I have a 6.5" wrist.. but I HATE the extra bulk.
Case in point.. 300 Heritage on Omega OEM Nato.. eww

Continue readingDoing some swedish-death-cleaning… and found these two G-Shocks in my kids rooms..
One seems to be a “Bathing Ape” DW-6900? .. the other (i think) is a ‘Rosta” DW-6900R?

Do i put them in the trash? do i put them in my watch box? is there any value in them?
Not a G-Shock guy… but as a Watch guy i don’t want to let go anything that is cool
Well.. i just turned down ‘the call’ (for the watch i didn’t ask for).
The AD called me yesterday and offered me a Mint-Green Dial 41mm Datejust on an Oyster bracelet.
Continue readingIt wasn’t the watch I’ve asked for.
It’s not a color I’m fond of.
But I probably would have bought it if it had the Jubilee bracelet..
After calling back today and politely saying ‘no thank you’, I asked how far down the list I am for one I did ask for.
“It will still be another 5-6 years.. now”
The dude didn’t need to say ‘now’.. that part was just hurtful
Aaah, The joy’s of going to ski (resort) town AD..
Wait time on a 36mm Date Just.. None.

Wait time on a Polar Explorer II… 5-6 years.
The AD in Las Vegas said the Polar isn’t as popular, so it should be under a year wait (you can also buy the Polar on the Gray Market for about the same price as an AD)…. but there is a multi-year wait on the green dial steel DJ.

Omega Sandwich Dial Fan Club..
There are only a small number of models with a sandwich dial.. A Seamaster here, a Speedy there. I feel like Omega dropped the ball by not doing the new Railmaster with a sandwich dial
All Hail the Sandwich!

I purchased this watch from the ‘Sales Corner’ back in 2007. Since then, it has been my “do sketchy stuff” watch. It has done exactly what it was designed to do for the 18 years I’ve had it (and it’s 21 years in existence).

tl;dr review: It’s been a great watch. It’s taken a beating, and keeps on swinging. She’s big, she’s…

What percentage of people posting images of their Rolex on other sites… are posting fakes?
As i scroll r/rolex or watchcrunch and see people posting “got the call”.. it’s sad how my first response is “well, that’s fake”.
Continue readingI need a picture of a champagne flute sitting on a display case behind the wrist shot for me to think its real, but my 2nd thought was “he was just trying it on”.
Am I jaded?
It started a few months ago when I was over at a friend’s for dinner and he showed me his new ‘super clone’ Polar Explorer II. He handed me his real Polar with the 1:1 clone and asked me…
