    I also have feminine wrists, tried on the one I posted and it fit really well. Wears more like a 40mm than a 38mm.

    Their reputation sucks, but I too like their watches.

    Love the new uncle seiko presidential-style bracelet. Thanks for whoever recommended… Jorts maybe?

    There’s so much to like about this watch. They hold their value pretty well, but there have been no shortages of supply, so the secondary market has actually come down on them.

    Can’t go wrong with either, but they wear very differently. Definitely try them both on.

    I’d like to try on the BB, BB58 and Pelagos side by side and then stand there for an hour taking them off and on being indecisive.

    I really wanted a full titanium watch for some time now and I've liked a lot of Boldr's designs. Was only about $400 which I think is a very nice deal for full titanium case and bracelet. 200m WR, sapphire with AR, and a nice textured dial. Movement is just a Miyota 8000 series which is obviously nothing to write home about and the subdial is a pretty redundant 24 hour dial, but I think it gives the the dial an asymmetric look that really works. Very nice little watch.

    My titanium Zelos has scratched pretty easily, definitely a softer metal than stainless.

    Yep, bought from reddit over the weekend after selling my OP a couple of weeks back. Suffering a little bit of buyer's remorse just because this was so expensive but it's in incredible condition and really beautiful. i'm sure i'll feel a little better about it once i wear it on a nice sunny day.

    I inquired about one Menta had last week for $15.8 iirc but it sold while we were texting about it smh. Hard to say it about a 15k watch but it's good value compared to the new ones bc they are 30k. One day, one day...

    Does anyone have a tissot visodate? Looks kinda like a nomos and can be had for much less money on reddit. Would probably do a blue/navy leather strap. I was gifted a watch box and now feel the need to fill it up. I have an oris aquis diver and a seiko spb143 diver right now.

    If someone wants to buy this from me at my cost, feel free to PM and I can tell you about the watch. I'll be okay holding it for a bit because these watches continue to go up in value but buying this helped me confirm what I want and i don't think it's a Pepsi GMT, despite this one being very nice.

    can y'all help me figure out the scam here? this watch is available on craigslist for well below its resale value.

    It's almost certainly fake if someone is offering it on craigslist well below general resale value.

    But also the yacht master II is the ugliest fucking watch Rolex makes. And that's a bad combo.

    Was walking through Rome the other day and walked past a swatch store that was closed for the night. Was in the area again today and walked up to see if they had any of the moon swatches. Big crowd outside the store which I wasn’t expecting. Apparently the power had been out all day and people were just sitting there waiting for it to come on. The guy in the store said he didn’t have any of the moon swatches but no one there believed him.

    I keep coming back to this sea-dweller…

    I really enjoy the green face OP41, but it’s hard to overlook the fact that I can exit that watch at nearly triple what I paid and pick up a more neutral daily wearing dive watch…

    I guess what I’m trying to say is that I just want them all.
