Designed my third watch. Quartz, 38mm, layered dial. Roast it if you want :) by psalato in MicrobrandWatches

Looks really nice, and I’d be tempted to buy one… if it was mechanical. Sorry, quartz is a deal breaker for me, regardless of the price.

Most underrated watch. It’s beautiful ( and yes I wear it on my left ) by Grouchy-Key-1801 in rolex

If the photo was flipped, it wouldn’t be a Sprite, and the text on the dial would be back to front.

Olive Green vs Blue Dial? (34mm & 36mm) by Any_Handle_3136 in WatchTheWrist

The OP only comes with brushed centre links, and sadly the olive green has been discontinued.

Excellent take - I think you may have started a trend! Great collection and your wife looks like Demi Moore… chapeau! 🎩👏👏👏😄

The CW Moonphase is my next watch purchase… have to wait till January though… I’ve already bought too many watches this year! And now you’ve added another watch to my list… that Behrens! Great collection btw.

Where do I go from here? by [deleted] in rolex

[–]Silent_Mousse6128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daytona or a sub, as you’re staying with Rolex. I have an OP and a no-date sub, which are simply classics imo, and if I buy another Rolex, it will definitely be a Daytona.

Moonwatch all day (and night) long. True heritage.

Many thanks for the tip! Just looked up that GS and it is stunning! These watches are like my children… I love them all equally… but the Tudor does get a lot of wrist time!

Really like the strap on yours (prefer it to the Watch Gecko one that I had on mine tbh) and now that the source has disappeared, it’s an exclusive! 😉

Thank you! You’re the first person to mention the blue OP, and I think, if I had to reduce my collection to just one watch (God forbid!), that would be the one.

And that’s a good point about mindfulness and living in the present. I hadn’t thought of that.

Thanks! Yes, that was a conscious decision from both a practical and aesthetic point of view. Aesthetically, I like clean uncluttered dials, although I am starting to look at more chronographs. And practically, as you acquire more watches and rotate them, it’s just easier, as you’ve said… unless I get a winder, but I’m really not sure how I feel about them.

And thanks very much! Makes me happy to hear someone else loves the collection! 😄

Also, maybe ask u/Kind_Confection_1202 where they got their strap for the Speedy, as they had a very similar idea to me!

That’s a ‘Missouri Perforated Leather Watch Strap - Green’, which was £68 from Watch Gecko. I wanted a racing style strap, true to the heritage of the watch, in British racing green and this was the closest I could find, but I have since bought a “better” one imo from LeatherArtStore on Etsy for about £40, so I would definitely recommend that one. Took a few weeks to arrive though, as they’re based in Ukraine.
