Time to sell the other watches to fund stem cell treatment so I can regrow the arm and leg I sold to buy this:
What did I say 2 days ago?
Oh yes, that you would buy a watch costing 4 figures within 12 months...the reality is getting closer!
Dammit, I am 8 months out !
I dunno why you just cut out all the "crap" in between and get a Rolex from day one and save yourself all the trouble in buying and selling and buying straps and changing lumes and selling and buying

It does look nice!
I thought Tudor were a 'budget' brand until I just googled them
I believe they are pretty much a Rolex case with an ETA movement.

This. I knew he had an inferiority complex about 'proper' watches from day 1!
Each upgrade and modification perfectly reflected his thought process as he grew more and more desperate for a luxury Swiss watch .

Not quite sure what your issue is mate but that's certainly not the case. I like a nice unique watch, all of the ones barring the Orient Mako and Seiko 5 were just that. I did fully intend on keeping the Longines and Halios for as long as possible as I didn't think I'd come across a watch I liked above them both so soon but hey ho someone here mentioned Pelagos and posted a pic and I had to check it out.
My reasons are as per my views in the watch thread, whether you like that or not doesn't even raise a testicle hair
You seem to have a nack for plucking out some weird reasons from what people post that simply do not exist.

This will rinse and repeat and rinse and repeat. It has already rinse and repeat about 4 times since the Marko to the Seiko to the Longines.
You have said the same thing every new watch you buy, the reason you said about them is that each one is unique. Well, there are unique watches at all price levels, there are also rare unique Rolexes. Deep down you are seeking the epitome of watches and we (I say that loosely), think Rolex are the top of the tree, or one of those ones.
Hence, go buy a Rolex already, I say this with the best intentions. You will save yourself a lot of time, effort and money in the long run.

If you won't listen to me, listen to Raymond
. As people were saying about two years ago, you won't be happy until you've got a Rolex, so just get one.

Btw, there is nothing unique about watches, they are made by people, and people can make them again. There is no material on there that is so rare that stop them to make 100 more at the drop of a hat.
Exclusivity of watches is down to branding and price. Uniqueness doesn't exist in stainless steel bracelets.
The more it costs, the less people will have one, hence it is "unique". It isn't unique because less people haven't heard of them so they sold less.
I don't mean that isn't a nice watch, it is a lovely watch but we all can see how your mind operates and what you want deep down in the end, even if you can't.

Not the greatest pics (taken on ipad)
Disagree there. There are some genuinely unique watches in existence, albeit at astronomical prices.
If you really want something special, forget Rolex et al, get a George Daniels
Anyway, isn't the upgrading and modding all part of the fun?
I could have bought a 'nice' watch a couple of times but ended up buying a couple of lower end but different watches, purely because they are that bit different. Maybe not unique in the true sense but different to the norm.
I love my Seagull watch but nothing extravagant about that. Lol
