Watches and wonders is less then a month away. If Tudor releases a date version of the black bay 54 or slims down the the black bay pro I’m buying one of each!

Unbelievable for the money imo.

BN0261-51E Is the model number for anyone interested.

They finally slimmed down the beloved promaster line and added a saphhire crystal. 5 digit Rolex case proportion, c3 super lume, and the movement is the goat for solar.

The bracelet is fine but clearly on the lower end, 99 percent of guys won’t tell or matter too. 60 click bezel instead of 120.

For 300 bucks idk if their is another diver on the market that can compare with everything this has for the price. Crazy but this is much nicer then my 5 digit Rolex sub by a mile and cost 300-450 bucks compared to 8-12k for what 5 digits are going for. Crazy.

She’s made her way into my rotation which doesn’t come easy lol. Keeper for sure.

I got a vaer s3 on the way to run through the paces as well for a field watch, stay tuned!

Those Seiko 5s look great. Post a picture when you get it

I’ve always loved the simplicity of a black face with basic numerals (used to drool and dream over the Luminox series when I was a kid and we’d go to the mall.)

There’s good deals to be had on the 5 (Jomashop, eBay, etc.), but I ultimately went directly through Seiko for slightly more peace of mind.

Seems to be a lot of knowledgable people here on watches. I've always wanted a nicer watch at some point but never really cared for Rolex. I've always liked the look of several Breitling models though. Are they any good? Any particular models stand out? Things/options to look for? Thanks.

Been around for 140 years. The older stuff was better imo. Company was sold about 10 years ago to a pe firm….you know how that goes. They sell watches from 3-4k to almost 100k. Modern day, very big and loud Jewery imo.

The 1950-2010 stuff is solid imo. Pick you’re flavor and buy used, secondary on them is great since they don’t hold value well which is awesome buying used!
