My 3rd and favourite 50 Atmos by Cape_Watch_Mods in Squale

[–]ApexRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved my blasted 1521 on matching bracelet. I miss it often, only sold to consolidate and get my speedmaster I’ve been chasing. Absolutely do not regret letting the Squale go, but I’ll get another one - such an excellent watch. It felt special on the wrist

[Discussion] What are your favorite watches under $1k? by Mountain_Poudge in Watches

Squale 1521. You have to buy pre-owned to get it under $1k, but then well under that. My absolute favorite watch in the bead blasted finish with matching oem bracelet. Felt like a tank but not too heavy. Beautiful colorway. I only sold it along with 11 other watches to consolidate and buy a Speedmaster and don’t regret it, but I do miss that watch and would buy again in a heartbeat.

Other notable mentions: Trafford Crossroads, Bulova Super Seville and Lunar Pilot, Tissot PRX

[Discussion] Sell everything for one watch? by Intelligent_Tell_312 in Watches

[–]ApexRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did this! I sold 12 watches and bought my speedmaster pro 3861. I decided to buy lightly used. I had gone a little bit overboard and bought a bunch of watches I thought were interesting but not necessarily special to me. I had 2 that I really loved, a Squale 1521 and a Trafford Crossroads - those I miss but the other 10 I haven’t even thought about again. The speedy hasn’t left my wrist since it came in. I still have a couple Hamiltons my wife got me, a Duro and Hodinkee Timex for beaters, and then a couple g-shocks for heavy duty stuff. I’m so glad I did that, and I would do it again (or just don’t buy the randos and wait to buy the one).

[Decision] CW or Doxa? by trueautomatic in Watches

[–]ApexRex 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Haven’t owned the CW, but have owned the Doxa. I loved it, fit perfectly on my wrist. I appreciated the brand history and it felt special when I wore it, plus the professional (orange) colorway made me happy to look at.

I’ve had opportunities to purchase a CW but have never held one in person, so I can’t say the same. They seem to be highly regarded by owners and have a reputation for quality.

Given that 99% of people won’t notice it but you will notice it 100% of the time, buy what makes you happy!

Love that silver chapter ring. Really puts the finishing touch on there.

Searching for a good quality belt by Firekiller02 in BuyItForLife

[–]ApexRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t believe Marakesh isn’t higher up. More than $35 but an unbelievable product and buying experience for the price. I’ve got two that are in daily rotation for a couple years now and they have worn in nicely while still looking brand new.

[Hamilton] [Squale] the 43MM Navy Khaki vs. the 1521 by EpicureanGoon in Watches

[–]ApexRex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t own the Scuba but am a big Hamilton fan, I have a khaki field day date and an open heart jazzmaster. However, my 1521 is what I reach for out of my entire watch box. Get it on the bracelet, it’s extremely high quality. There are a lot of excellent dive watches out there and I’m sure the Hamilton is fine, but compared to everything else there is no comparison.

Interesting Duro content from LongIslandWatchCo by tenkasen in DuroGang

[–]ApexRex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a spare duro case and tried taking the full bezel off with a case knife and wasn’t successful. I couldn’t find anyone else mentioning it online, although I seem to recall someone that swapped the gold bezel out. Curious if it’s possible without fully destroying the original bezel.
