I have been lusting after an FXD for several years, but I just can't justify it. I have the Tactical Frog which is a really nice homage, but it's never just as good as the real thing! Attached File Attached File |

40mm Explorer #224270. Got a friend who is friends with some guys who own AD's and he's trying to hook me up, but who knows. Maybe a Pelagos 39 if I get impatient waiting for the Rolex. |
I don't know what will happen, or if anything will happen. But if something does, I'd rather be the guy with a gun than the guy without one.

Also I like to hunt for pre-owned watches and give them a new chapter. I’ve been watching for a Doxa Sub 300 for a while. |

Fortunately after two years I'm still lusting over my Sea Dweller Attached File |

Wanting to try the new Longines Hydroconquest in blue. Seems like a good value. I just don't know if I can justify it with having a Pelagos 39 and FXD GMT already. I am looking forward to what Tudor has coming out next week for their 100th anniversary. |

I am looking forward to what Tudor has coming out next week for their 100th anniversary. Same but green. And maybe the light blue. I’ve checked a few of the ADs but none of them have them yet. One of them told they’ve never seen more interest in a Longines model after a release. Longines hit it big with this one, I think. |

Besides the hydroconquest, these are on my short list: Attached File Attached File |

Another one. These are unobtainium though. If anybody has a lead on one I'd be appreciated. Pretty new to this and can't even find them second hand reliably Attached File |

That lower YM2 looks good. I really like the YM 1. |

Green Milgauss Attached File I just can’t justify it. It is too close to my “everyday”, an explorer… Attached File |
I tried that whole cancer thing. It wasn't for me. Good Riddance.

| I was half ass concerned about how accurate the IWC Mark XX I bought would be since they don't advertise any kind of accuracy guarantee, but after a week it is exactly +/- 0 seconds. I'm sure it will vary over time but the last week it has kept absolutely perfect time. |

The IWC Mark XX green dial was on my short list, but recent testimonials at WatchUSeek of bad customer service has me thinking again. I really like the watch. 120 hour reserve would awesome. It is good hearing positive experiences. I will probably end up with one. |
