BF2S Forums The 'What Did You Buy Today' thread

Just take your watch to a watchmaker and have him remove a few links. Just make sure he gives you back the pins and screws. I have little baby wrists so I have to get links taken out of every watch I get.

It's important to find someone who knows their shit. Go into a watch repair shop and ask him about how often a submariner should be serviced. If he gives a 15 minute autistic lecture on watch repair and how to properly service dive watches to make sure they stay waterproof, he's your guy.

I can give you some recs in NJ/NY if you want

I still have:
Oris Cervo Volante
Tissot PRX Automatic
Seiko Presage (can't remember the exact model)
Grand Seiko Rikka
Omega Speedmaster Chrono
Omega Speedmaster First In Outer Space (most recent purchase, released a few months ago)
Tudor Black Bay

I think that's it. Currently debating whether or not to buy a special edition Grand Seiko Kiku Automatic GMT. 1000pc run, originally only available in Europe. Found one brand new, but its a bit pricey...

Baby's watch collection

Add to homeowners insurance at minimum.

Macs watches aren't super high value, but its a nice little collection with exception of the fossil.

Fossils are for teenagers. Get another Presage in dark blue.

I would like another blue dial with a leather strap. My Tissot has the blue waffle dial but with a bracelet. I love the dark blue/leather look.

I think you would really enjoy the whole process of setting an automatic watch. I didn't think I would be into it either but once I started it is actually pretty cool. Make me feel like a man

Time to put away the childish things. 1 Corinthians 13:11. No more speakers. You need to get watches.

I feel like wasting money.

I like that it is automatic. I have the same one in red with a tan band. I also like that is has a few numbers. It makes reading the time easier. I am so used to digital displays that it takes me a moment to read this type of watch.

And I usually don't have the patience to try. I don't like the date part either.

My smartwatch is so amazingly useful by the way. You should try a smart watch Uzique. They don't all look terrible like the Apple watch.


I often need to respond to emails and text quickly at my high stress bullshit whatever.

You have to be in your late 60s to have been a 60's music fan. The 50 year olds are into 80s and 90s.

My boss is almost 60? He was talking about going to a black flag concert.
