    I agree they really don’t get much love but make some beautiful watches. For me they are a bit on the dressy side and being someone who rarely dresses up it makes it the watch I just don’t put on anymore. I was checking out there site last night and they make some killer new stuff but I have an eye on a new Tudor for myself.

    Yeah I was pretty surprised! It’s just not a super well known brand so I wasn’t sure what resale would be or how many people would even be searching for them.

    A1AEC4E7-B83E-47F5-84E2-B1D529AB24F0.jpeg Well I finally got a Tudor GMT today. I’ve been lusting after it since they came out a couple years back and a moment of weakness took over haha!

    Looks good!!!!! Those and the Rolex's like that blow my dress up.

    I will say I'm digging the 'cheapo" swatch omega's. I'm thinking that might be the first "expensive watch to me", that I purchase.

    I love Tudors and that one is killah. Just can’t get past the penis hour arm.

    Tudor just throws in enough wtfs that I can’t give them my money.

    I’m used to them from my ranger haha! I keep trying to get into omegas and Rolexes, etc but for me Tudor nails the full aesthetic that catches my eye so I keep coming back.

    Man, they just fix some small things and I’m full in. Might even switch from an IWC fanboy to Tudor. :D

    and yeah, I soooo want to love the ranger. It ticks all the boxes except for the wang hands. :D

    It’s funny because I just can’t get into IWC at all but that’s why we have so many choices haha! My AD is a big fan of them and had me try some on but they just don’t make me go from 6 to midnight unfortunately.

    Oh and they have a new ranger that came out a few weeks back and they finally got one in but it lost a lot of the charm from the heritage ranger. I did like the 39mm size but that’s it.

    Another one I got back from the service place.
    Polished crystal, thorough service internally & cleaned case.
    Stopwatch returns to zero without any issues.
    I've added a new president bracelet from Uncle Seiko to the case, as the prior bracelet actually belonged on a Pogue.
    The background is the cover from the photography book "Beauty in Decay". LINK

    Been drooling over that as well, but I want leather and fabric straps instead.

    On the Air King thread, the latest one, yuck. Previous generation- elegant simplicity... really like those...

    I have no clue, how much are those and how much were they 10 years ago? It sounds like that has been one you have loved for a long time and you would probably know the older prices?

    I’m just curious how crazy the market has become and I was too cheap to ever be a watch guy, although I could see getting something in the next few years.

    I think they were/are 10k new, never really looked used or paid much attention since it's out of the realm of possibility for me.
