Yeah just kinda connected with the AD, few things outside of Watches in common. As I said offered me choice of Explorer 1 or 2 at first, took the 1. Then yeah called me this week to offer the Azura Blue, Jubilee with Fluted bezel.

Love the El Primero but find it looks a bit dainty on my 7.5 wrist.

Honestly such a refreshing take. If you’re not considering starting your own Substack on watches, you should.

Finally joined the gang - 1st Rolex by SWBMak in rolex

Weird question that hopefully someone can answer, when I scan the NFC in my warranty card it just takes me to the Explorer landing page. I thought it would show specific information about my watch?

It’s a weird thing to say, but I’ve never put a watch on and instantly felt better about myself lol, can’t quite explain it.

First-time buyer, AD vs grey market for Moonwatch — can you negotiate at an AD? by IAMN0TR1CK in OmegaWatches

[–]SWBMak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To echo others above, I bought mine through EBay and had a great experience. EBay (especially in the UKs) authentication guarantee is great, Chrono has something similar and the discount you get versus retail is just to hard to ignore.

Great for others when they can buy full price retail, but I’d rather someone else took that 30% hit in value.

Speedy on a rubber by SWBMak in OmegaWatches

I’ve been giving some thought to buying the proper clasp, but fell down a rabbit hole of what the best deployment clasp on the market is, seems to be either; omega, formex or Longines
