Can’t find the snoopy

 

[rfx45]

its not available until sometime in november

you can sign up on timex's website to be notified once it's available

that's the one i am interested in because i dont care for the date, i actually prefer no date watches for the symmetry

Much more affordable than the other snoopy watch I want

How much is replacement crystal from RSC? Somehow my gf managed to get a nasty scratch on my GMT's crystal.

 

[rfx45]

seems like it might vary, seems it ranges from $170-$300 which includes replacement

Not bad at all. Thanks for the link!

 

[rfx45]

also, it's the nt in me that sometimes if i like something, got to get all them colorways and at an impulse purchase most of the time

so i ended up adding the two new marlins (yellow gold and rose gold, plated of course), i enjoy the silver enough

it helped that signing up for timex newsletter is suppose to give 15% off but when i applied it they gave me 20% and then the 4%-8% cashback via ebates... no tax and free shipping... that's how they get you

Really liking vintage datejust. How much would a ballpark figure be at the minimum to get one in decent shape ? I don’t know anything about them, and I know year and all that would come into play but would I be looking at 3k at least ? Going to Hong Kong in a few months so will definitely be checking out all the watch shops there. Really want to get my first “luxury” piece, so maybe it’ll Be a good time to pull the trigger

Timex has released the Marlin with an automatic movement with date and now 40mm for $250

Wish these were priced a little closer to the Bambino ..

Hong Kong is Rolex Mecca. You’ll find nothing but grey dealers and AD. Watchrecon would be where you wanna start. Sometimes a seller will put a sub 3k DJ for sale. Alternatives would be a 6694 or a 1550 oyster date. You can find those sub $1.5k but they aren’t quickset. Amazing entry level Rolex


Is any Rolex really entry level.

Wasn’t really a fan of nato/fabric straps until I tried it on my Tudor. Much lighter, better fitting, comfortable, and more sporty!

looks good, really wish tudor would embrace smaller watches more, they made a black bay 32 and 36 but i'd love a pelagos in 36 or 38 too, they can even more the date if needed

i know watch snobs are gon' be pissed because it's not "suthentic" for desk diving but very, very small percentage of divers use these watch for actual diving anyways
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/04/...one-actually-go-diving-with-a-dive-watch.html

First off, does any diver really need a dive watch?

Short answer, no. The electronic dive computer came into regular use in the late 1980s. You get on a dive boat now, nobody’s wearing a watch — well, maybe 10 percent are. There’s this secret fraternity out there. But it’s a dying breed.
