What watch do you wear?

[Richdog]

That is rather pretty. Which Explorer are you seeing it as similar to? Seems more OP to me than Explorer given the white dial and batons rather than only black and 3/6/9.

It looks more like an Omega than any Rolex.

Today’s wear for me.




Feels quite weird to have it back on my wrist, first time wearing it since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

My gshock shipped out from Japan yesterday, and reached Heathrow at 7pm this evening. Should see it tomorrow or Saturday can’t believe how fast that was.

Received an "as new" steinhart titanium 500. So far liking it. It's a /notch/ too small but the seller is sending me the spare links he forgot to put in the box. Liking it so far, nice shape, nice "modern" dial, nice bevelled crystal. Light.

That looks very smart!

Just received a lovely Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic. Very nice but the strap is too short hence having to order a replacement.

Can anyone recommend a nice but not too expensive watch stand. Just want somewhere to put it on a night time. If there is one that can hold an Apple watch (and charge it) AND a mechanical at the same time that would be even better. Pictures if you have them.

What size are your wrists? Watch Geko have some nice leather at good proces. I keep eying this watch up over the past few months. It's such an appealing piece. I kept looking at the 42mm version, but once I noticed the inner 24hr markings around the date window and how it isn't symmetrical, it bugs me. This 38mm looks better.

Nice! What model have you gone for?

After I read your post I had a look at the G-Shock website. That model is surprisingly understated considering a number of the monstrosities I saw on there

If you like understated check out the GA-2100 in all black. I don’t have any flashy colour g-shocks. Just black for now.

Just to add another option to the list lol, Watchgecko now sell Boldr watches and have a nice selection up - I really like this, specs and price are quite substantial given it's a Titanium case!

Seen 2 limited edition collabs on CWS which look really cool and are equally nicely priced:

I’m a fan of the understated look my self but I do like the metal rainbow colour G-Shock. I’d buy it if it was ever in stock!

The blue Phoenix MTG is a nice watch! Don’t think I’d be able to pull it off with those colours though

TBH I like the white gmt version (it's actually on my 'want list'), which is arguably even closer to the explorer2 in terms of design (one of the few rolex I don't actually mind) but I realised after looking at it more, and getting past the white dial, that it's probably closer to a grand seiko in terms of looks. Still much better value in either case

Biggest issue for me is the 39mm size which while I don't doubt will look ok on my 8 inch wrist, I still kind of feel I'd prefer it a little bigger to 'fit' my wrist better if you get me.

Do like the White Explorer 2 even with it being a smaller size

Is that real? Rather rough lume application.

No, it's an illusion !

Nice watch there. As for the stand, I would get at separate one. I believe the Apple watch is changed via induction (magnetism) and you don't want to put mechanical watches around magnets as it throws out their timekeeping.

Nice, what was the wait/price over RRP? Really tempted by an Explorer 2.

I like the colour scheme, shame it's ruined by the graffiti

Lovely one that. 16600?

If it's elegant like his, it's not available on waiting lists as it's a discontinued 5 digit! Though certainly over the original RRP, likely by quite some margin.
