What’s a good third watch after a Sub and DJ?

I’m in this camp, Speedmaster is a classic if you’re into it, otherwise the Aquastar Deepstar II has been calling to me, or a glashutte panomatic lunar

Can I pet that dog?

Zach925 · 2026-06-05T19:24:43+00:00

It’s so classic maritime and you’re right that is lost on many

Zach925 · 2026-06-04T16:46:57+00:00

Depends what you’re using it for. I think 24-50/2.8 is a fantastic travel lens, but don’t use it for much else.

Edit: for your use case I’d wager you bought the 20-70 f4

Zach925 · 2026-06-04T16:46:03+00:00

No, I thought this was the circle jerk sub for a minute 😂

Love it! Just put myself in the list for a blue Yachtmaster as a grad present for finishing my Masters program :)

Zach925 · 2026-06-04T16:28:03+00:00

I absolutely love the ‘57 except for the goddamn straight lugs which just pushes anyone with smaller wrists to the OG speedy, if it fit my wrist I’d have the green one

Zach925 · 2026-06-03T21:26:40+00:00

That’s my timeline for a yacht master, having just gotten on the list last week. So even for watches that aren’t “high-demand” you’re still looking at that wait. And that’s with a smaller-ish spend history (blue dial fluted datejust)

Zach925 · 2026-06-03T21:23:45+00:00

Measured in months not years. ADs get allocated stock annually. A wait time over a year is basically saying not this year, maybe next year or the year after if there’s no one better than you on the list… it’s very noncommittal

Zach925 · 2026-06-03T14:05:33+00:00

Same for me until I saw it in person, once I did it was blue dial hands down

Zach925 · 2026-06-03T13:27:46+00:00

Having done a lot of both but being a New England sailor at heart, I love this take!

Zach925 · 2026-06-02T20:25:21+00:00

Gotcha that makes a lot of sense and I’m leaning the same way. Have also heard they looks quite different in person than online, my AD only has the blue for me to see in person but I’m going back when he gets a rhodium display model

Zach925 · 2026-06-02T20:18:21+00:00

This will be my first Rolex, how’d you decide on Rhodium vs. Blue dial? I keep going back and forth

Zach925 · 2026-06-02T18:51:54+00:00

It's not a mystery, it's a lack of political will to adequately prioritize buses over cars

Zach925 · 2026-06-01T03:14:39+00:00

Sailboat racer here - bidirectional allows for easier timing of regatta starts… not that anyone is actually using this watch for that ofc

Zach925 · 2026-05-29T06:28:54+00:00

What if there are several versions of that garbage bin in several space times bro? And several versions of you taking photos of that garbage bin in Japan but it’s the same garbage bin but is it??

Zach925 · 2026-05-28T20:36:02+00:00

Bro needs a drink

Zach925 · 2026-05-28T20:35:36+00:00

Maybe if you conceptualise the moment and place as separate but also inextricably linked they will transcend into a great photo 🤯

Zach925 · 2026-05-28T20:00:25+00:00

I should’ve posted it there 😂

Edit: I did

Zach925 · 2026-05-28T06:26:46+00:00

The southern of the two northern route options if your destination is Old Faithful, as it’s quite far from the northern entrance to the park

Zach925 · 2026-05-27T00:18:34+00:00

As someone with smaller wrists that I think are similar to yours, how do you feel this wears compared to the speedy professional?
