rock and roll baby!

I always loved those super sea wolfs. I almost had one years ago. Some jewelry shop in Jamaica was trying to get rid of one on the cheap but I was too stupid to grab it. Bought a discounted Tag F1 for the same money instead. smart move huh? 😁

For Bulova thread that’s regularly updated...and and Rolex sub-forum and a Seiko thread....yeah- I think you’ll fit in here just fine.

Sign me up for the Speedy Dweebs any day. I bet they have an awsome curling team!
@MSNWatch i think “has an awesome curling team” might be a good sub-avatar name?

well that's not easy. It's all about those fine details that in a normal world mean nothing and escapes most but are glaringly obvious to Geeks. So...you have to pass the initiation test (which I failed).

here goes...

please point out the differences between the following watches.

I'm afraid I will need a proper schooling. The only thing I see is that the inner steel bezel ring appears a smidge wider in a couple pics. But that could be my eyes playing tricks....

And somehow I forgot the one I'm wearing. I picked it up yesterday. A little too shiny for my likes but the price was right.

Welcome to the forum. You're already lightyears ahead of me, with quite the cool collection.

Boom you passed the initiation! You are capable of seeing and appreciating those exciting yet subtle differences in these that thrill the speedy dweebs.*







*there are no differences. All 4 are the same image. 😁

Ok, I have reviewed the above referenced thread, and have taken baby steps. Hopefully in the right direction...

Outdoor pics in indirect light, taken from father away. Light was fading, but I tried.

The chronometer is a ref 168.023, cal. 751, that is a recent local find. It seems to have it's fair share of admirers, and the sparkle dial functions almost like those blingy back pockets on women's jeans. 😉

The Tag F1s are great . I have one and wear it in rotation very often. Despite being quartz I consider it to be a high quality swiss watch.

Speaking of Sea Wolf's, I turned my IWC into some cash and a scarce Sea Wolf 20ATM this morning.

I live in Oklahoma, and that's fruit you wouldnt want as it belongs to Holly.

oh I know. I have 3 of them in our collection. However the time-only one I bought in Jamaica wasn't as valuable as the super seawolf I left behind!

I hope I didn't imply that I dont know I've got some very nice watches. Just been lurking a while and decided to sign up. I've been in the game a while, but I prefer to find watches locally for the most part. Got the Sea Wolf in OKC today.
