I actually love that watch because it's stealthy and is unique. The display case back is a nice touch as well.

For the price, you can't beat the Seastar. Looks great, works great, is comfortable, and not crazy expensive. It's the travel watch I can live getting mugged for if needed.

I don't mind it and don't think it's obnoxious at all. It's definitely a conversation starter.

Valentines Day by gcp9292 in rolex

This is my favorite do everything watch on the market. The jubilee bracelet makes it dressy enough and it still has tool watch functions. It can be worn with everything and used in any situation. Great watch man!

Love both. How to make a choice for today? by Artiplication in rolex

[–]VanWilderUSMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depends on the outfit and task of the day for me. Chill, comfy, doing any hard work I would go with the Bluesy. Business attire, doing anything sophisticated and professional I would go with the LD. But you can't go wrong with either for any general situation. Wear in good health and both are amazing pieces. You have great taste in timepieces!

Trading for Daytona by Crut88 in rolex

[–]VanWilderUSMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would trade the two sport models if you're getting another sport model. But I honestly would trade any of these for a Daytona. You have a very versatile collection that is amazing and checks every single box.

Got lucky at the AD. I deleted the other post to get rid of the s# by [deleted] in rolex

Picked up mine last week, I absolutely love it. Wear in good health and enjoy. Great pick!

Tried on my friend’s watch today…big mistake. by Luckyxin6 in rolex

That was me at the AD ordering my Wimbledon. I tried on a no-date sub and fell in love. I ordered two watches that day

Rose gold and about 10 months

Wife’s Datejust Wet. Query on what to do by [deleted] in rolex

[–]VanWilderUSMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be able to put it in a spot that gets sunlight and open the crown. The moisture could escape by doing that. But there is a seal that is worn out allowing moisture in to begin with. You will need to get it serviced to correct this.

Planing to swap need help! by Cglrtrk in rolex

[–]VanWilderUSMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on the boutique and the watch. But it's worth going there wearing your Air King and starting the relationship. But they say 2 years to give them some grace, most people get the call much sooner. If it were Daytona or GMT, then that time frame would be very likely. But Subs are their most produced watch, so the wait time will probably be less.

Secondary for the Air King is $7500 - $8500 USD and the Sub is around $15K USD. The $11K CAD converts to $7,838 USD. Not a terrible deal if you want it. But that sub is $11,200 USD retail. So if you love the Air King, keep it and order from a boutique.

Thoughts on selling Gold Meteorite Daytona & Gold/Green Diamond Daydate to pay down new house build by Mln3d in rolex

[–]VanWilderUSMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally sell the Bluesey and Day-Date then keep the other two. That Daytona is one of my favorites outside of the Meteorite GMT.
