Already discussed this with #[3] but I don’t like modern Rolex and the pageantry + hysteria over mass-produced watches.
Totally respect the brand’s build and reputation, but I regard a Rolex like a pair of Air Jordans and feel it costs way too much just to look like everyone else…
My next piece is 1/50 total examples.
I completely agree with you on Rolex. Do you dabble in vintage? This is in part why I like hunting for classics due to the unique nature of an older and hard to find piece. Very cool on the next one, excited to see what it is
I was a vintage dealer through Covid. Sold my stake in the business to my partner… but yes, I like lots of vintage stuff 💪🏼
Meanwhile me liking modern Rolex
meanwhile me rocking a garmin
Meanwhile me wearing reggae wristband from my first girlfriend
My G Shock and I would like a word..
Love a time nice piece though! Congrats #[3] enjoy the birthday and new watch!
I was looking at G-shocks last month. Any specific recommendations for models/features?
I am no expert. I always wanted a G Shock when I was younger but couldn’t afford it. So I just bought a black g shock when I was on my honeymoon. It is perfect for me, alarm and stopwatch are my go to.
Maybe someone else could chime in with more specifics!?
Casioak is a cool one I think
Oh I LOVE my Casioak! Got the AP mod bracelet + bezel for it 😂
I roll with a black g shock as well. It’s highly functional and durable. Model number of mine is DW5600E-1V
Yeah I only think I would use alarms, stopwatch, and a world clock to see UTC time
Take a look at the 5610. Solar powered, atomic clock synchronized, and sexy square
That’s the one I was looking at last month - I’m pulling the trigger on a Japanese model with a little Bitcoin-orange accent on the branding.
Send it, curious to see
OK going to try posting a link. Model is GWX-5600-1JF:

Love it. Looks like some decent prices on eBay. I’ve also purchased often from buyee.jp directly from Japan. It’s like eBay in Japan, a few nuances in bidding and shipping to US but I’ve had nothing but positive purchases from there and you can find some very very cool pieces.
Dope
Almost bought 2 g-shocks John Mayer x Hodinkee.
Didn’t do it and stacked some sats instead 🤝🏼
Love my garmin
Im a vintage omega man myself
I got a Moonswatch recently, and I’ve always been eyeing the MK40, will snag one some day
Micro brand, very nice. Please share pics when it arrives!
I agree that most of the modern Rolexes are gaudy. Lone exception for the simple SS explorer.
I tend to prefer Oris or Tissot.
Rolex is like Porsche. Everybody wants one in their life
Currently own a 114270 and yes, it is very nice, but the price for a time only Rolex has been blown out of proportion. Would rather own more bitcoin haha
Cool watch! And yeah I feel you
TBH, check out the Tudor Black Bay 36 - to me, that’s the true modern day explorer… I love that as an everyday beater watch.
