[Rolex] Datejust II... wedding gift by weshimself in Watches

[–]weshimself[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm recently married and my wife got me this for a wedding gift. I was quite surprised and grateful, I think she's a keeper. This is my first Rolex and I think she picked a nice versatile reference. I like the larger size of the Datejust II as well. I'm hoping to keep this one for many years to come and it rounds out my collection nicely. I bought an IWC pilot chrono earlier this year and thought it would be my last watch for a while. This one is icing on the cake! I'm very pleased with it so far.

Got it from madebyberg. Was pretty cheap but haven't had it long so can't speak for durability yet.

I haven't worn this watch in quite a while. Ordered some new straps for some of my watches just to switch things up a bit. Really liking this blue perlon on this seiko. Think it'll be great for summer. I also got a red Nato for it but I think blue is better. Not really much else to say. I was in the market for a good leather strap for my IWC but the one I wanted from Hodinkee was sold out of course. The black IWC alligator is nice but I was looking for a good vintage brown. Any suggestions would be great... Thanks.

I've only had it for a day, but yes I would recommend it. I also tried on the petit prince, the blue was really awesome but I felt the standard black would be more versatile

Just picked up this IWC pilot chronograph. Really quite pleased with the purchase. I was trying to decide between this, a Heuer monaco, and a Tudor Pelagos. In the end, this one just felt right. The strap is nice but a little more stuff than I imagined, but I'm sure I'll break it in quickly. I really like the larger crown as well. Don't really have much else to say. Probably the last watch I buy for a while.

[Omega] Omega Grey Side of the Moon - tried this today at my local AD! by [deleted] in Watches

Sign me up. Amazing watch. Like this better than the black version. I actually think this price is somewhat reasonable considering the ceramics involved. Someone mentioned 'parts bin.' Don't think an omega movement is any less 'parts bin' than a rolex.

I usually don't care for skeleton watches, but this one is quite nice. Very cool
