And, I like SS more than titanium. Will wait and see. View Quote I like that. I think they made the crown a bit small, but otherwise it looks like a great watch. 90xx-series movement, so it'll be smooth and accurate. |

Next on my list is a DJ 41 if I can pull it off. I am also a fan of the Tudor GMTs - both the Pepsi and the Pro. Might pick one up if I can find a deal. Seems like the perfect traveler watch.

Just ordered a 41mm Longines Hydroconquest with a black dial. I was told 4 to 6 weeks.
A Rolex will most likely be next. Either a Submariner or a Daytona if they'll even put me on the list. Edit: Got the Hydroconquest sooner than expected and threw my name into the hat for a Submariner. |

Have you guys seen these? Heard about them from Watchfinder's Youtube video. Pretty cool if you ask me. I think I will end up ordering one to wear once or twice a year.

Especially loving the one with the guy in the pool floatie and also the Tiger motif. Inexpensive enough to in the "impulse purchase" category too |

I got an Artem strap for one of my watches with the fold over clasp. First time I used one. I wanted to see if I'd like it before I buy a watch with one. Well, the strap unlocks itself if I bend my wrist too far down, like towards my arm. Hoping the Omega version doesn't do this and it's just the cheaper deployment used on this strap. |

Been eyeing them for well over a decade, probably since 2006ish. The price never went down, only up... decided the time was not. Should have it on wrist tomorrow morning. |

Was looking at some Hamilton Khaki automatics a while back, but priorities changed and stopped looking at watches.
Random suggested videos on YouTube for Seiko Sports 5 with translucent faces came up and got me looking at watches again. I looked around and saw something I liked and made the purchase yesterday. Pics inbound when I get it Monday (assuming UPS does me good). |

Hopeful about the 226570 Explorer 2 with a white dial. I've only registered my interest a couple months ago. It's gonna be a while.
I also put in for a GMT Master 2 BLNR. Good luck with that one. And as a courtesy, I registered for a DJ for my wife, who was with me. |
