Miami in the early 80s

This is for when Im in the mood to pretend I am in Miami in the early 80s
I am not a two tone guy but had a buddy that had to sell it so I bought it LOL. I can’t tell you the last time I wore it

Audemars Piguet 14790SA.

I really need to sell this and the 14790ST white I have and get an AP I…

Thinking about getting back into Panerai.

So I have a 243J and I have not worn it in some time. No reason perhaps just because its buried in the safe and never the first thing I see.
In general I have always favored watches on bracelets but Panerai is the exception due to all the fun straps out there.
For some reason years later I am starting to miss my 233 (dot). I sold it for something else but I’ve started to appreciate manuals again and love the power reserve on the 233 dial.
Is there any reason not to get a 233 (dot)? I recall…

Rolex 228236 DD40. Glacier Blue. Sticks or Baguettes?

OK
While discussing watches with a friend he brought up the “grail” conversation. I said the Plat DD 40 and kinda realized I could actually get one if I just sold watches I do not wear anymore or have any emotional attachment to.

I can’t decide if I want sticks or the diamonds.
In general I am not a diamond guy but on the Glacier Blue they almost blend in and don’t “bling” like on a black dial. Im not interested in the Romans as I already have them on my YG DD40 which I am keeping.

So…

? regarding Omega X-33 Skywalker

I have had one a few years and really do enjoy it on a NATO but have always wanted to get a bracelet for it.
If it wasn’t for the wear WR rating it would probably be my main travel watch to be honest.
Anyway where can I find an Omega Ti bracelet for it and what do they run?

Anyone else just not a strap guy?

I don’t know what it is but I just never find a good fit with a strap, either they are too tight or too loose.
Perhaps my wrist fluctuates during the day.
I have had custom straps made and still the same result.
It kills me as I have a few strap watches I really like (Moser Pioneer Center Seconds, AP 5214BC, PAM243) as well as a few others I can’t think of right now.
It’s frustrating as I really want a Patek 5270 but I just know I will not wear it nearly as often as I’d like to. I looked at…

VPC Watches

Anyone here order one?
Its Thomas Van Straaten from Fratellos idea.
I just discovered it yesterday and I ordered one today (not something I really do)
I just liked the look of it and figured what the heck.
Am I the only one?
I was really debating the b…

3861 to 321 why not?

My first Speedy was a pre moon 321 which I sold as I got it cheap and was shocked what it was worth (I was very new to watches)

A little over a year ago I got a 3861 for my birthday and wear it quite a bit but I have lusted after the new 321

I have b…
