When a plan doesn't come together.

Are you saying that there is a jubilee bracelet that might fit the DJ2? If so I may well be interested.

Of that I have no knowledge, I “assumed” it was the same as the older DJ’s where any jubilee with 555 endlinks from the beginning of time would fit- but then again Rolex has pulled all kinds of shenanigans in the past decade or two it’s the Wild West now.

I've been considering the re-release of that vintage one on the right. The original Navitimer. Some would consider it busy but I actually use the stuff for flying

As far reissues go, I think the Navitimer is the nicest I've seen.

How many times in your life has the chase been better than the get 😀

I still remember a talk given in high school where we were told having isn’t the same as wanting.

Years later I have 10 watches evenly split between Omega and Breitling. When getting the first ones I remember the great feeling walking out the store. Now I’m happy to get the watches but not excited like I used to be

Had several Brietlings years ago, none of them kept time well and those little screwed-on indices at 12-3-6-9 always snagged threads from any sweater I was wearing. I had a restored early Navitimer that I should have kept. Now I have a Speedmaster (Hesalite) and a Seamaster (Blue 42mm, both current, 2019) which are working well for me covering sport, casual and dress functions. Now I'd like to find a polished Seamaster quartz in blue, don't really know why. Also attracted to a Great White GMT, again, just a whim. Sometimes the reality of actual ownership doesn't live up to your expectations. Also went through the Submariner phase, that too passed. For some reason, Omegas have held my attention longer. Sometimes when you find your Grail, you find it's just a Carpenter's cup and sometimes that's ok.

I have 5 Breitlings and 5 Omegas and find the reverse to be true. The Breitlings keep much better time. On the other hand I have mainly Navitimers so they don’t have the external indices.
