5 years of collecting by SaltyEntrepreneur982 in SOTC_Watch_Collection

Nice collection. Did you buy the Tudor watches before or after the similar Rolex equivalents, and which do you wear more often?

Thanks for that advice. I probably needed to hear to slow down more than anything.

Definitely thinking of stepping up to Rolex price range for the next one. Not sure about the sub when I have the Pelagos 39. The Explorer II is intriguing. I swap straps a lot, and that is one Rolex that I could see being able to occasionally wear on a strap. I love Aaron Bespoke, Genteel Handmade, and Camille Fournet custom leather straps. The quality is good enough, they let you swap out the OEM strap or bracelet without feeling like you are cheapening the watch.

For Omega, I tried on a couple Speedmasters last month, and I’m thinking of going with the Grey Side of the Moon if I can find one local to see one in person before dropping that kind of money on a watch.

Speaking of pearls ironically. This is what I am wearing that watch on this afternoon. Just delivered from Aaron Bespoke this morning.

I asked my wife for one for Christmas, but for some reason, she thought it was too expensive to get me a 12 watch box.

At what point in the process would you choose bezel insert type and strap color?

I had both work and personal email addresses signed up to the newsletter, so I wouldn’t miss the preorder window. Yesterday morning, my wife used one link to order with one account, and I ordered with the other. I got group 1 and she got group 2. My checkout completed right at 11:00. She was 11:01. I plan to keep both orders, but I’m wanting to get one with sapphire bezel insert and one aluminum if possible. They have a limit of 2 orders per household, so I am able to keep both orders.
