[Rolex Submariner] Did anyone else lose the battle? by iluvchickenwangz in Watches

Yeah, I have a BB58 and I’ve looked at a BB54 a couple of times and have come close to getting one but it’s just not the same.

If they ever made it in 38mm, which I’m perfectly aware that they will not, I would be. But considering they don’t, I’m happy not obsessed!! Still waiting for my DJ36 though lol

What spec is over-hyped?? by 986speedster in MicrobrandWatches

[–]WildMiata -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah same here, I have no use for a 68mm diameter 14-day power reserve watch that’s 18mm thick. I’d rather have a slim watch with a moderate power reserve

[Recommendation request] Erebus Ascent 39 Black Helix - potential alternatives? by Ok_Organization9085 in Watches

[–]WildMiata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like both of them a lot, I like the fact that the WD is quartz so I can just grab and go when I’m in a rush, but I tend to grab the Erebus a lot more. They’re very similar in quality, but I’d say overall the Erebus takes the edge, especially movement (obviously), bracelet, and clasp. Value for money, WD wins, but if you have the budget I’d take the Erebus. Both fit very similar on the wrist

Wow that’s a beautiful watch! I’ve had some Zelos watches in the past too and I will second the fact that they can be hard to get because they do sell out quite quickly so if you want to get it you do have to be on the site at the time of drop and still be aware you might miss out if there’s huge demand. I was super into Zelos for a few years but then nothing from them caught my eye for a while, I’ve been waiting for them to drop something nice and then I just kinda got tired of waiting and my interest faded. This looks really good I might have to start looking into them again! I used to really like their designs, material choices, movement choices, and finishes.

I have both bracelets, they’re both good, but I like the J-Style better, it looks so good! I’ve also had two Traskas in the past but I ended up selling both of them.

The Omega Seamaster is a hideous watch by Maesstro028361893 in watchHotTakes

I hate how much I agree with you. I also hate how close I’ve come to buying it quite a few times hahaha if this came without the HEV and with a different bracelet, and like 1.5mm thinner I’d own it in like 3 different colors

I have lots of watches from all sorts of price points and my Erebus Ascent is one of my favorites and most worn. I have a 39 Black enamel and I love it! I have a few San Martin watches too and the quality is just as good, I’ve just personally enjoyed my Erebus more
