I have decided to buy a BB54… but before I order from my local dealer, is there any news or talks about new colors ??? Thanks
Continue readingThe Yacht Club 😉
Seems like I'm seeing more YMs in recent months. Figured I'd start this thread with a purposefully cringeworthy title, considering I don't own a yacht.
I searched for an existing thread dedicated to the Yacht-Master and didn't come…
Continue readingWhich to buy – Rolex Explorer 1 versus Submariner no date?
I am seeking to add a Rolex to my collection this year. It would be my first ever. I’ve been very conflicted about the brand due to all the hype, hysteria, and everything else that is associated with Rolex, especially since the Pandemic. But the truth is, I absolutely love the Explorer range (1 and II) as well as the Sub (especially the no date). And I feel it would be great to have at least one Rolex in my collection (even if I never buy a second Rolex in my lifetime).

Rolex Tudor Date + Day
My Rolex GMT-Master II 126713GRNR
As we get older, so does our taste it seems. I’ve only ever owned one precious metal watch and it was a Calatrava. But this was my first with a two-tone
another first was a GMT for me. I’ve never had the appreciation for complications so I’ve broke tw…
Continue readingYear 2025, is BB 79220 still consider collectible?
79220 Smiley discontinued since 2016, it’s been almost 10 years. In the past we have seen several evolution of Black Bay line. Newer movement, in-house movement, metas certified. Newer bezel, thinner case, smaller case (BB54), newer shield dial, new th…
Continue readingCollection Redundancy (My accidental Daytona Affinity)
I recently achieved a major goal of mine and purchased the Daytona Panda 116500 that I have wanted for some time. Prior to acquiring the Daytona, I purchased a Tudor Chronograph Panda and a Zenith Chronomaster in black (Quick plug for the Zenith, it’s a phenomenal watch). During both of these purchases the Daytona was not on my mind, meaning I wasn’t buying them “to settle” not having a Daytona.

Picked up my first Rolex today.
Hey guys,
Continue readingI picked up my first Rolex today. It’s a (very) early 40th birthday gift to myself. I was inspired by the photos @Lucky_Craft posted on his recently acquired OP: https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/the-unexpected-call-my-first-rolex.5620696/
A sunburst blue dial was on my list. I was not sure if I wanted to get another Omega Aqua Terra or IWC Mark XX or venture to Zenith. Rolex has never been on my radar because I did not want to play the game…
METAS vs non-METAS Tudor movements: Any technical hardware differences to deliver enhanced accuracy — or just higher levels of adjustment/testing
I’m curious if the newer Tudor METAS-certified movements have any different/added technical components which enable enhanced accuracy versus earlier non-METAS-certfied movements. Or these new METAS-certified movements simply tested and regulated to higher standards — and are otherwise essentially the same as the earlier non-METAS certified movements?
Continue readingHere’s a specific example: The Tudor Black Bay Pro has the COSC certified MT5652. And the Tudor Black Bay 58 GMT has the MT5450-U which is…
Here is why you should (potentially) not buy the Land Dweller or other 71xx movements
This movement is the star this year, but for most people, we should think twice about any watch with the new Rolex movement.
This is not a rant.
Think about how many vintage Rolex watches are out there, millions from the 70’s to the 90’s. Why…becaus…
