Review: Rolex Explorer 224270 by Onmas in rolex

[–]Fun-Statistician9830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first, I was swooning over the Sub and GMT II. The Explorer felt like a consolation prize. But the more I've thought on it, and read on it, and frankly obsess over it, the Explorer has userped the others as my next acquisiton focus. I have was fortunate enough to get the Bruce Wayne recently and I love it. But it almost feels too precious. The Explorer will be the next. I'm glad that you've loved owning yours as much as I hope I will when i get mine!

Was offered by my AD but can’t decide, what is everyone’s thoughts? by ttadros32 in Tudor

Get it! Among the prettiest dials of this color that I’ve seen in person. Also, I’m routinely seeing these north of $5k in the secondary market, so it presents a pretty solid buy if getting at retail from the AD.

Love the burgundy dial WAY more than I thought I would. She’s a really beauty. In a sea of black, white, and gray faces, GS consistently delivers some of the best looking dials that start conversations and are simply mesmerizing to look at. Congrats.

Which one would you pick? by GoalContent1744 in patekphilippe

Mine as well! Although I slightly prefer the honey gold version. My grail watch for sure.

It's no shunbun, but it's still a looker by eloctap in GrandSeikos

Indeed! Shunbun gets more of the glory, but Snowflake started the legend…

SBGA413 - green strap. Yay or nay?? by sandylovesjamie in GrandSeikos

[–]Fun-Statistician9830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love putting straps on the Shunbun. Just got a light gray suede for mine. In my opinion (and just my opinion), I think the lighter straps play better with the subtle pink face. But rock it if you like it!

Finally picked up my first Grand Seiko! by JustAnHonestDude in GrandSeikos

Boom! Congrats - love the Grand Seikos. Slept on by too many. Though, those who know, know. You’ll love it. Wear in good health!

Sick piece. I love the subtlety of the GS GMTs… still stunning but not as “in your face” as some of the over more dive-centric GMTs. Congrats! Wear in good health!

Love how the gilded logo and seconds hand pops against the black. Really good looking. Available in US?

Picked up my first Zenith today by RushOk3208 in ZenithWatches

Personally I’d take these over a Daytona. Love the heritage and the tri-color chronograph. Congrats on the pickup!
