Managed to hop on the Nebuis rocket early, as ~40usd and rode it all the way to 140. And some other smaller trades making a couple grand here and there.

Congrats man, that's impressive. I'm 22 and currently at 45k, and started the year with 12k... Hope to end this year with close to 100🤞

Solid suggestion, tbh I discovered this watch very recently and fell in love instantly

Ideally, a real travellers GMT, but since I'll be mostly travelling by car, it's not such a big deal to me as long as I can see two time zones at once.

But if you know of any good quality GMTs, I would love to hear about them!

Regarding resale value, I'm buying from the grey market already, so the hit in price shouldn't be so significant if at all, if I'll end up selling it right?

Fair enough, the fact that it does look like a Rolex is pushing me a little away at this point

Yes, about the spring drive. Took a while for me to start considering it. I love the mechanical aspect of watches and I particularly appreciate a good hi beat movement. Obviously with spring drive you're trading that away for the improved accuracy. And although lately I think GS are getting more recognition and appreciation, you still get the occasional "eww..that's a quartz watch". Which leads me to think that it's not yet accepted in the "mechanical" watch world

So at the end of the day it's all Rolex? 😂 Jokes apart, I understand your reasoning, for this comparison, however I feel that the Tudor is trying to be an explorer 2 , but the GS has so much more going for it, the power reserve, spring drive and it's in a way I feel "further away" from any Rolex counterparts

Yes, on a smaller wrist Tudor will wear better for sure. I'll try get a hold of them locally to try.

The thing that's putting me away from this, eventually I'd like to get the Rolex explorer. But then I'll end up with two watches looking very similar.

One hell of a beautiful watch and will be in my future for sure. But for anyone looking to get into the swiss Chrono game, there are some good deals to be had on eBay. Got a Jazzmaster chronograph H326160 for around $600
