Hey Gang!

Like most of you I am bored at home and was wondering what do you all plan on buying once this whole COVID-19 calms down. I currently have a DJ41 and plan on getting a ND Sub next!

Feel free to add pics!

Not a big forum favourite but I have enough Rolex's lol

A Carrera was my first nice watch and wanted a fun chrono so this one fit the bill

It should be here tomorrow

This is a good pick. The movement was based on a Seiko design and Tag modified it....plenty of good reading about this one. Go over to calibre11.com and poke around there if you have not already done so.

Thank you, well aware

the Seiko connection pushed it over the edge for me

RG YM on OF 37mm to celebrate college graduation!

gnuyork · 2 April 2020, 08:26 AM

Thinking hard about 1 of 4 choices as my first Rolex (but I will definitely wait until the current crisis is over, as I may need the cash for other stuff just in case)...

1. 14060 (m) Sub two line
2. 14270 Explorer I
3. 1675 Explorer II Polar (or black if a better deal presents)
4. OP 39 white dial (will consider 36 and even 34, but have never tried them on, though I do wish the 36mm had the same dial as the 34 and 39)..

Leaning heavily towards the OP as my first, because I'd buy new and get the AD experience, etc. and I think the OP is the perfect every situation type of watch, more so than the Sub, plus I already have the Omega Planet Ocean (arguably better than the 5 digit Sub in some aspects) that was my daily for 4-5 years, but now hardly ever gets worn as my tastes change to more conservative styles without a bezel and date. Though it may make sense to get the Sub or Exp II as the price seems to be going higher used, and the OP will likely be the same for a while... decisions.

1675 is GMT Master, not Explorer II

Was looking at the Omega AT on leather. Contacted my grey shop and asked for a 10% discount since times are not good and was told can't do it. He gets it from an authorized dealer NIB with original warranty and I guess asking for a discount bites into his margin of profit. Told him if the price goes down to let me know..adios..

jvb.nc · 2 April 2020, 08:34 AM

i have a couple pieces in the pipeline.

i’d love to knock the omega bond and a FOIS speedy off my list, and soon. after that i’m awaiting a blue skydweller from my AD.

then on probably to either a ROO, ROC, or PP5726.

I've just purchased an Omega De Ville Trésor, arrived earlier today but I've also decided to go for a Tudor GMT as soon as we return to some sort of normality. I've been planning on picking one up for 2 years but every time I've come close life has always got in the way.

Bladeshot · 2 April 2020, 08:54 AM

116519LN. Asked my AD to source me one. Been thinking about it for more than a year. Toyed with the idea of a WG Daytona on a full bracelet. This one just sings to me more.

What was the process like ordering from AD? I was about to place one for RG YM on OF but then they closed temporarily and will be closed at least for the next month most likely.

Hang in there! (That’s what I’ll do.)
I’ve got plenty and don’t need another watch, but it is such a lovely piece. And it’s a fun hobby - to collect.

johnorpheus · 2 April 2020, 08:57 AM

TT rootbeer ideally. could go ND sub too.

None I have my GMT Master ll (BLNR) and being a pilot it's the perfect watch for me. I'm not a collector just someone who appreciates a perfectly constructed timepiece that serves a necessary function while being absolutely the most comfortable watch I have over tried on.

garbanzo · 2 April 2020, 09:03 AM

Don’t know. Just don’t know

Sephiroth · 2 April 2020, 09:35 AM

Looking for Pepsi or blnr as first rolex

dmash · 2 April 2020, 09:36 AM

Who knows, maybe Rolex releases something awesome soon

Old Geezer · 2 April 2020, 09:38 AM

Depends on what interesting piece my AD may offer

When this thing is over? HA just pulled a trigger on another Rolex on Sunday night thinking this thing would be over by April 12th for Easter Sunday! Currently enjoying the No Date Sub, I think you will love it, this thing goes everywhere!!
