Any watch lovers here????

You got a dealer that stocks stuff? anywhere in the east? Charlotte does not have nothin

 

Haha nope, I'm in KC. We have this place which is where I've bought most of my stuff and they are f'ing awesome. The sales staff truly knows their shit and they have great stuff in stock and have pretty much all the big brands and some smaller stuff too. I mean you can't walk in and get a Submariner but most other brands they do keep good inventory.

I am going to have to start shopping in Vegas when I go there,but they are clueless asshats when I have been into the shops there.

 

I have this one.

My wife and I both wear it fairly often. I like it a lot.

 

Omega Flightmaster



Omega Seamaster 300 probably like this one...




And hookers and blow with the other 5-10K.

 

Pro tip:

If you have enough blow, the hookers show up for free.

 

A great gateway is an Oris. Then you move on to Tudor (you’re hooked and not going Tag) and then omega, IWC or pre owned Rolex. You’re now a junkie.

I kicked when I was thinking a Patek was a good enough alternative to the Big Pilot that I had to “get on the list” for.

 

For a 25k budget I'm grabbing a full set.

1: Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch

2: Cartier Tank (the new Must XL or pick your poison of yhe endless vintage tanks)

3: Submariner (new, maybe no date idk)

4: Grand Seiko -probably a snowflake, but like the Cartier, pick your poison.. there are tons of fantastic choices around 5k)

5: Casio 158G (gold OG digital, because I'm sure I'll have 40 bucks left)

If I played my hand right I could maybe score all these as new watches and I honestly think it would be a hell of a rounded collection.

 

Speaking of Grand Seiko I am thinking of this piece here they only made 500, it's not super popular, but that's kinda my thing, I like watches with a brand with history, or complications, or super accurate, that's why I am starting to look at GS.

I know blue isn’t for everyone but I really dig it. It comes in other colors.

A less expensive option

I actually looked at those I like the blue here was my thinking in Blue

Beautiful as well, but not a Ti case like the others.

 

I know I like the Ti case, but HATE straps of any kind

I’ve been considering buying a Grand Seiko as a goodbye present to my time living here in Japan. I’ve looked around at some including a boutique shop in Osaka but haven’t seen this one. It looks great but I’d love to see it in person. Regarding the boutique shop, they were so nice to work with. I looked through the catalog with them and found one I liked that they didn’t have in the store. So they put us up in a back room with some food and drinks while we waited for a courier to deliver from another store. Very cool experience, but luckily for my bank account that it didn’t look good on me.

 

Correction it's not a auto

 

There's a few more classic GS at my local store, they look amazing in person.but I didn't try on wrist. Some watches look good in pics and so-so in person. Pleasingly I've found seikos to usually be the opposite and can have serious wow factor in person. Well mostly

 

Check out GMT if you are in Tokyo they have a TON of listings on Chrono24

 

I really wanted to like Grand Seikos, but looking at them in person, they just didn't tickle my fancy.

Here's an Omega Snoopy Speedmaster on the reddit's that fits the price range.
