Man, I hope they make a blue dial of this 39mm. Might be too much to resist. |

Killer watch, I want the full size so bad. |

I have Seiko field watches and now need a dive watch in my collection. Looking at a Turtle or King Turtle.

I'm sort of digging the cyclops on the King Turtles, so it'll be staying. I'm looking at the SRPE03 and getting a black band. Also saw some listings for the SEA limited edition SRPH41K1 in all black that caught my eye. |

Didn't do it.

The wife and I have three watches on order currently. Which will come in first will probably be a Seamaster Aqua Terra. Steel on a blue rubber strap, with gray dial and blue hands and indices. We also have a Lady Date and an Air King on order, but we’re anticipating another 6+ months to go on those.

Most likely gonna be a another Deep Blue, the Pro Sea Diver 1000M.

I got the King Turtle in today. Swapped out the band for a silicone strap.

I will be stopping by my AD next week and intend to inquire about either a stainless GMT Master II on a jubilee or a Daytona. Leaning heavily towards the Daytona as I do not have an automatic chrono.

I like Marathon a lot. I picked up a GSAR on a SS bracelet a couple years ago and it's been great.
End of March I threw in the towel on playing the Rolex AD game and just went grey. Walked in, bought the watch I wanted, walked out. That was a Polar Explorer II 216570, which was an unworn leftover. The current model is the 226570 for which I had been on a mythical waiting list. Should be called time-wasting list. Anyway, since the current 32xx movements are prone to amplitude problems, I was kinda glad I didn't "get the call". Rolex has no fix. It would have pissed me off to have spent $10K or more only to have the timekeeping to fall of dramatically after a year or so. But I digress. Next up I'm thinking the GMT Master II. I'm kinda favoring the 116710LN (all black bezel). I almost walked out with it a few weeks back. So next will be that or a 126710BLNR (Batman) on jubilee. We shall see, but no more AD circle jerk for me. |

Never ask a man if he is from Virginia. If he is, he'll tell you. If he isn't, you don't want to embarrass him.

Which model is it? |

I am saddened by your plight. Allow me to offer my deepest and sincerest condolence. However, I do not have the Chaplain’s duty and I am short of towels. Please see the Captain of the Head for material for drying your eyes.

The 6217 didn’t really fill this roll. The first model 6105 gave us the crown and near cushion case. The sense one model 6105 the full , although asymmetric cushion case, And the 6306/6309 brought the whole package together. But, All that aside, the first model 6105 is an absolutely gorgeous design. |
