The good news: I finally found something to take all those blasted Speedmasters off my wrist! It’s been a long year.

The bad news: what is it going to take to get these GMTs off my wrist?

I agree that that is the closest Rolex ever came. Had I found that watch, black with white subdials, before I found my first Speedmaster, I’m sure I wouldn’t be posting here now, if I’m honest. I’d be over in the Rolex forum.

In 1982, if Shreve SF had had a Daytona with that dial in their store, instead of one with the white face and black dials, I’d have sprung for the $1,200 it was at the time, and paid it off some way. And I’d never have bought my -74 Speedmaster in a pawn shop three months later, for about $225.

Hmm...

Anyway, @Canuck : Dibs, please, even though I doubt I could afford it. Ring me first anyway. It is spectacular.

This is as close as I can come to a concession on this issue.

Regrettably, sold the Daytona several years ago. Someone else is enjoying it now.

Don’t wear this one too often as my Aqua Terra has replaced it as my GADA watch. However, the AT is in for service so this back out of the watch box. This was my first “real” watch. Say what you will about Tag, but I think the Carreras have a great case shape. I think I might have to snag one of the Heuer re-edition Carreras at some point to keep this one company.

Affirm! 👍

Remember to stop driving your Camaro and cut your mullet. 😁
I can see that cutting your mullet while driving could endanger other road users: all those split ends!!!!!

Pretty excited to share my new-to-me Speedmaster! Sadly nothing else in the collection gets much wrist time lately.

Went out last night, ordered a stout. Waiter brought this. I ask, is that a stout? The waiter is like, hmm, I did not even notice. Came back and said, yes, it is a stout. Try it. Sure enough , it tasted just like a stout and it tasted good. This was the first time I have ever seen a light colored stout.
