Help me pick out a Tank/Tonneau/Rectangle shaped watch.. budget $1.00 – $5k USD
It's been a weird year for me… things fell into place and I was able to pick up the top 3 watches on my (never-ending and constantly changing) "watches to buy" list.

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

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.
