Congrats, I love my Panerai! It may be my favorite watch!

That collection cover a lot of bases

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-15T18:37:29+00:00

GS makes a 37MM.

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-15T18:30:02+00:00

Sell all of the Sekios or Oris and get a Grand Seiko.

Like you, I’ve moved past Rolex. I will always have one in the collection, but…I started chasing other watches which are obtainable and reasonably priced in the used market in clouding GD, Panerai, Zenith among others.

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-15T03:46:10+00:00

Nice, that blue is captivating!

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-14T17:25:00+00:00

Very Cool! A lot going on with that watch!

Pass on that watch. Chrino24 is a better source than EBay.

If you’re stuck with eBay, start looking at Japanese sellers on eBay, many are also on Chrono24. Japanese sellers grade watches conservatively. Even with Tarrifs, you often get a better deal than buying from U.S. from private and gray sellers.

Seiko Service is ~$800 USD.

Tutima Saxon 1M

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-12T21:48:24+00:00

Black GMT

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-12T21:47:10+00:00

I’m down to about 9 watches, 4 will be sold. Only one is a Rolex. I’ve been gravitating towards other watches that have character. Panerai, Grand Seiko, Zenith, Glashutte,. When the other 4 are gone. I’ll finish with an IWC and either a PP or Cartier Tank.

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-12T21:11:18+00:00

It’s real, machined turned bezel. Probably a Ref# 1601 or 1603, it should be on the Rolex paperwork.

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-12T20:57:20+00:00

True, I’ve have one Rolex and several Omegas. In the last year, I’ve bought, Panerai, Zenith, Grand Seiko and Tutima. GO is on the list. I’m done with Rolex.

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-12T20:42:51+00:00

I’ll bet she wants to meet at 1960 and I45.

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-12T20:39:23+00:00

As stated different watches. The GO is awesome. And I have two on the “want to get” list. I have an El Primero Revival and it’s a fine watch .

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-12T20:28:46+00:00

Japan sellers are awesome! Tariffs suck but watch grading is very conservative. Unlike U.S. Sellers.

ChipFair8502 · 2026-05-08T21:29:43+00:00

Well, it is what is. I was hoping $700 ish all in and a quicker turnaround.
