    I much prefer the new bracelet. Probably wouldn’t have bought if it was on the older ones.

    Old version fits me well, which is problematic for some. Micro-adjustments was a big step forward.

    I thought I might swap mine out for the new version, as I think the new bracelet looks great in pics & love the taper. It just felt cheap on wrist, compared to the old version.

    To me it felt like an old Rolex Oyster/Jubilee feels, compared to the newer models... except opposite

    I have this casual seiko I’ve had forever. Hard to get a good photo but the face is sapphire blue. I just can never make up my mind to what band looks best. Kinda like having leather and blue even though it came with a stainless bracelet. Opinions?

    Not sure where else to post/ask this but I’m looking at engagement rings. Are diamonds a rip off? Does anyone have any deeper knowledge on this? Or anyone have someone they trust dealing with?

    Im not looking to spend crazy money but I want to try and make sure my money goes as far as it possibly can here.

    They sold out almost instantly last fall. Secondary price dropped about $80-90 in the last month or so. Have a birthday coming up, so she jumped on it... Grabbed it on StockX, in case you are interested.

    Thinking about selling my BB58 and getting a Pelagos instead. Tell me I won’t like it and should just wait for my sub. (I really do love the BB58, split my wrist time between it and the green OP41.)

    Maybe I should sell my BB58 and buy one on a bracelet instead. Think that’s my biggest regret, should never have settled on the leather strap.

    You'll like it, but if you really want the sub, just wait on that imo. I was in the same spot with the Tudor GMT. I really want the Rolex and I'd never be fully happy with the Tudor so it was pointless. I'll just wait.

    And wait.

    And wait.

    It’s the penalty you should pay, for not listening to the thread & getting the bb58 on the bracelet to begin with

    Fuck I spammed the thread so damned much back the . Regardless:
    You were right, and I should have waited. Still fun on the Uncle Seiko bracelet, but it’s cheap and feels cheap.

    Years after this post, I purchased that sand colored Zelos. Thank you, friend.

    What are the overall thoughts on the Omega Moonswatch? Looks like it was a collab between Omega + Swatch and they did a couple variations. This one is the Mission to the Moon. Looks the same as the Speedmaster to me with some slight differences. Used condition.

    It's a plastic watch. For retail I get it, but aren't they still going for $500+?

    Believe they’ve come down to pretty much retail on forums (Reddit, watchuseek.) The community has accepted them for the hype PR campaign they were.
