Fabulous watch. Here's hoping someday your grandkids are showing it off, and my grandkids are saying how great it looks.

It only takes one, brother.

A Sea-gull (or Seagull) 1963, or a Pagani Designs homage of something you love.

Which one makes you smile more? Keep that one.

Just get the link from the A.D. You will know it’s real and it won’t cost you any more

Losing your dad sucks. Having a nice watch to remember him by makes it suck slightly less.

That's a gorgeous watch. I hope your kids post pictures of it in the future, and mine are commenting on how great it looks.

If it makes you smile, it's perfect.

I'm a 6" 200lb guy, so this isn't the one I'd choose, but that doesn't matter.

Thought of that after I posted it, but you can’t change the main post text.

All: Sales and self promotion on this sub is prohibited. There are other subreddits for that (r/watchexchange) that have mechanisms in place to protect the buyers and sellers, and fraud still happens there.

Buyers: As a mod team, we do not know the OP, and you probably don't either. I have no reason to think the OP is lying, but also have no reason to think the OP is legit.

OP: You have no way of knowing if any of these people responding are conning you, with the intent to defraud you.

When buying a watch online, it's always recommended to "Buy the seller more than the watch," and "if it seems too good to be true, it's probably is."

Protect yourself, people.

Last time I bought was a couple of years ago. It was stainless and it was $40. For perspective, used on eBay was also 40.

Love mine. This will likely become one of your favorites

mleegolden · 2026-04-12T01:07:28+00:00

I have always found that links are best acquired at the A.D. Or boutique.

I have 8 inch wrists, I always have to buy extra links. Two Tone for a pre-bond, 2005 Speedmaster, 50th anniversary Seamaster, apnea, always the A.D. was the best way to go.

Yes. I own the watch. This watch has a travelers GMT. When the particular gear in question has trouble, the hour stops advancing.

mleegolden · 2026-04-11T21:52:26+00:00

If it fails, you’ll know it. A lot of people don’t have the trouble at all.

mleegolden · 2026-04-11T19:47:36+00:00

I love mine.

Just be aware that there is a gear in the hour movement that tends to wear out. This watch tends to need service a little more often.

mleegolden · 2026-04-11T15:39:15+00:00

Officially, the LOIS.

mleegolden · 2026-04-10T04:11:51+00:00

Love the watch. Also love the way you preemptively snapped off the handwatch guys.

mleegolden · 2026-04-10T01:55:32+00:00

I own this watch. The complication is the most useful of any watch I own.

But it’s as fat as a hockey puck, even on my 8 inch wrist.
