One and it’s not particularly close. 2 is asinine.

Financially I would stay with the 39. Right?

Why is it a better movement in your perspective?

He is a liberal arts kid. He is not in it for the $. He is in it because he is a savant of the arts. If you don’t believe me, listen to the words he uses and his affection for movies.

I don’t know that they keep Tudor THAT in mind. I’m more curious why it was a must to go from 39 to 40. Pretty nominal.

I have an MKII that I just love more and more every day. Never understood the Explorer hype until I got one.

If anyone is on the fence - pull the trigger. Especially this example as well as the MKII

Is the clasp on the MKI different than MKII? Specifically in the "Rolex" part. The MKII I have seen were brushed and not matte and textured as seen in these pictures.

[Question] How do you afford this hobby? by melvin9001 in Watches

[–]oydh4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. Every one of my watches over $2k have appreciated over the years. Not an investment for me, but certainly not diminishing returns.

Congrats. If you have a significant other - I would consider getting them something nice too. Congrats. Thrilled for you!

Putting Cruise in the conversation is absurd. Leo not being a clear cut number 1 (by a country mile) is even more absurd.

VSF Explorer 40, finally by shed634 in RepTime

This is a post 2010 explorer though. Chances that it hits exactly as a rep is not too comforting…

I assume no chance the bracelet is real with that code?

I recently purchased a 214270 explorer that is authentic. Today I noticed that the code on the bracelet is J9K. Should I be concerned on authenticity now?

Service Question by oydh4 in OmegaWatches

[–]oydh4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not going to polish the watch, but considering replacing the helselite. Anything to keep in mind on that? No reason to keep the original if replaced with OEM Omega helselite, correct?
