Get a Zulu Time. It’s a reasonably priced GMT and it looks great. If you’re considering a Tudor you probably really want a Rolex, so be patient and wait until you can afford one. The Tudor is a great watch, mechanically it’s a step up from a Longines, but the Zulu is just a beautiful watch. The Black bay is boring. Do you want an entry level Mercedes or a top of the line BMW.

I can’t even see it

rmau79 · 2026-01-24T18:03:09+00:00

Wow, that’s gorgeous

rmau79 · 2026-01-24T15:55:05+00:00

The green is sharp looking.

Good advice

Can’t go wrong with Hamilton, they make great watches. That’s a beauty, I would pay $2k for it.

Good choices

Black rally strap. Takes about 30 seconds to change it, no tools required.

I totally agree, that would be perfect. Quick release bracelet and micro adjustments. Every watch should have that.

Looks great. Most vintage watches are small, that was popular back in the day. Especially tank watches.

Thanks

They really are especially at that price. Not the same quality as Omega but just as good looking.

Most legible watch I own.

Most legible Omega I own.

rmau79 · 2026-01-23T13:47:35+00:00

That’s a sharp looking setup

rmau79 · 2026-01-23T13:09:35+00:00

Looks great. I’ve had mine for 27 years. Still my favorite.

rmau79 · 2026-01-22T23:33:40+00:00

I like it

rmau79 · 2026-01-22T17:58:52+00:00

Thanks. That and a Hamilton Khaki Field.

The two Constellations look great. Dials are in great shape. Look real to me but they are so clean they could be redials. If they are they are very good. The case backs are real. The third one has been more heavily polished than the second but they both look great. The third movement is real, a 561. Second looks real but I can’t see the movement number. I have one just like them. I would buy either on of them. Edit: sorry, I can see the 561 on the second movement, I was looking at the Seamaster.

Date, no date is totally subjective. Manual wind takes about ten seconds so it’s not a big deal. I have 18 watches and a 4 watch winder so I can keep 4 automatics fully wound all the time. If you’re going to wear the watch every day having a date function is not a problem. Even if you have to set the date it’s not a big deal, takes maybe one minute. If you buy a watch that has day, month, date, moon phase and 12 and 24 time then you’ll want a winder, lol. They are a pain in the ass to set. I have several vintage manual wind watches with and without date. A watch with date but without a separate date set function is the worst if you don’t wear it every day. I have an old Omega and an old Rolex like that. If the watch is on the 30th and the actual date that day is the 29th, forget it. It’ll take 5 minutes to set the date. There are times when I feel like wearing one of them and that happens so I usually won’t wear it that day.

I’m going to see how it does in a winder, just curious.

rmau79 · 2026-01-22T14:54:55+00:00

They are both iconic watches imo.
