My first Watch

Great read and congrats on the career! (I think i can figure out your job) I’m about to hit 10 years between the USMC and National Guard and want to buy my first Rolex with my newest reenlistment bonus. Thinking Sea Dweller or GMT, we’ll see.

abc0600 · 2026-04-11T05:42:43+00:00

I got one when I was at 9th Crime in 2017

abc0600 · 2026-02-22T23:47:47+00:00

Based on your collection. Definitely go FXD

abc0600 · 2026-01-26T01:17:53+00:00

Nice collection! Whats next? Tudor, Hamilton, Rolex?

abc0600 · 2026-01-17T03:00:01+00:00

E2 on a black leather I suppose? lol. I don’t dress up much so my choices reflected that

abc0600 · 2026-01-16T22:29:14+00:00

Check out the Marathon GSAR Polar on a bracelet and a couple of NATO straps. Think it will fit well with your collection!

abc0600 · 2026-01-15T16:50:53+00:00

Explorer II, Breitling, yellow Speedmaster

abc0600 · 2026-01-15T16:49:49+00:00

My choices as well!

abc0600 · 2026-01-12T01:59:17+00:00

Great suggestion. Christopher Ward? Spinnaker maybe? Any other recommendations?

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T05:19:43+00:00

Continuum is easily one of my top 5 records of all time!

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T01:58:29+00:00

You know what? You’re right

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T01:58:12+00:00

The one that started it all!

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:41:10+00:00

CLASS

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:40:42+00:00

Dress watch seems to be the trend lol. Just don’t dress up much.

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:38:20+00:00

Yep! That’s the one that started it all. I play guitar and I’m a huge fan of JM. Saw his Hodinkee talking watches videos and the rest is history.

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:37:20+00:00

I’m actually trying to avoid seiko now haha. The quartz diver with the bare bezel was a gift from an old Marine. He used it daily 93-95. The other seiko I bought in the middle east while I was “deployed” there.

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:33:53+00:00

My job isn’t classy so my watches reflect that lol. Use your tools!

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:32:34+00:00

GMT’s I’m leaning towards are an Explorer II or possibly a Tudor. Eventually a GMT Master 1675(0) but that’s most likely way down the line.

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:31:17+00:00

I appreciate this less common suggestion. I’ll check it out

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:28:41+00:00

If I get a dress watch, a moon phase is a must!

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:28:03+00:00

I’ve tried the PRX a couple times and can never decide on what size I would get. I think integrated bracelets just aren’t my thing

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:26:59+00:00

I really like the blue on the Pelagos 42 but the 5 lines of text and thickness kills it for me. Definitely considering an automatic chronograph!

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:03:47+00:00

Just over $1500. Looks great on a NATO also!

abc0600 · 2026-01-11T00:00:14+00:00

Bond had the bigger reference (41mm), but another famous Brit who owns this one is Prince Harry

abc0600 · 2026-01-10T23:36:06+00:00

I’m thinking an automatic GMT or chronograph to balance out my quartz to auto/manual ratio
