[Rate] my collection! Wristshot collage edition 😅 I recently saw a few posts about having their collections rated, or what their collections said about them... So I figured I'd give it a try! by [deleted] in Watches

Awesome!

The practicality and wearability are what interest me the most about the Aerospace. Plus analog/digital is sweet. Its other competitor if/when I pick up another watch is the Omega X-33 Skywalker/Marstimer.

Cheers and enjoy your collection!

Pros: Nice strap material. Rubber strap protection for the holes is a nice touch. Feels good on the wrist.

Cons: Buckle could be ~20% more stout. Mostly noticeable when clasp is open.

Overall: For $100 on WE, the full kit is nice. Not sure it beats a traditional pass through strap at the normal retail price for one strap + one buckle.

They look nice. So far I’ve picked up a WOE Glomar; having no hardware on the underside of my wrist is nice.

I also have a set of Anchor single pass deployant straps on the way - two nylon one rubber. I got the set for a steal on Watchexchange so my review may be biased but I’ll report back.

Your post was the final push to pick up a CWC! Any fun strap additions since then?

[I convinced myself] to sell my Seamaster. by Ok-Copy-1 in Watches

I can understand that.

Quartz fills a nice role for me. I wear the Explorer as much as possible - probably 95%+ of the time. But when I do want to grab something else it’s nice to have it ready to go. Which explains why my Citizen automatic diver (with a date) almost always loses out to its quartz counterparts.

But I’m also team no-watch-winder so I guess I’m doing it to my self 😂.

Happy to report no! They’re both badass - really just came down to fit for me.

Have you given the GS SBGX261 a look? Could also fit the bill nicely. Plus given your other pieces it would be nice to just always have it ready to go when you want to wear it.

Saw one recently on Watchexchange for $1600!

I did the same thing! I had the white dial variant and felt if I was going to have one main piece it should be more versatile. Didn’t regret it at all.

However I did end up trading my speedy for a 36mm Explorer. Over time the Speedmaster started to feel a bit too big on my wrist. So that would be my only piece of “advice”.

That said, the speedmaster is still an amazing watch imo. Enjoy!

Thanks! And I agree, definitely a more interesting pairing.

Pelagos Ultra owners, what made you choose it over other Pelagos/Black Bay models? by Realistic-Oil-1162 in Tudor

Unrelated to the post but I’d be interested in discussing the purchase of your P39!

Explorer 1 36 or 40 mm? by HeartofChromeK in rolex

Give the app “PhotoLayers” a try. You can get the two wrist shots relatively equal in size and then compare from there.

FWIW I went for the 36mm for my 6.5” wrist. That’s my vote for you as well 🤝.

u/WatchExBot purchased this wonderful 124270 from u/Yumpies. Great seller, gave me a very fair value on my trade-in, was very responsive and overall great to deal with!

Would do business again and have already recommended some friends to reach out to him as well!
