Absolutely love it - wear it everyday! Only downside is that it scratches easily

 

$2400 Tag Carerra, absolutely love it and wear it to the office most days

Have a couple quartz battery watches around the $1k range

Planning on springing for a $5k Omega I've had my eye on in a few years or so, wouldn't be prudent to buy now but it's my short-term dream watch

LT dream watch is a Rose Gold Perpetual Moon Arnold & Son

 

The 6X looks nice. I've had the 5X Plus Sapphire for over 2 years and it was one of the best decisions I have made to increase my athletic performance. I've literally beaten the shit out of it and it still works great. I had an Apple watch once that I shattered in 2 days. That Garmin Sapphire screen is bulletproof.

Have fun with it. I used my Pulse Ox in acclimation as well and it is an indicator of Covid if you have Pulse Ox too. If you're falling into the 80s in Oxygen saturation, it is a symptom of Covid.

Yeah it's been great. I had a 5X for a while and debated whether it was worth upgrading. Ultimately there were a couple things that did it for me:

  • Battery life is way, way better
  • Bigger screen is really nice for reading maps while hiking
  • Ski resort maps are now integrated into the skiing app
  • 6X has a backcountry skiing app
  • There are some interesting pacing features for running
  • A lot more storage for international maps

Pulse Oximetry is interesting. For the most part I keep it off because it sucks battery, but I got HAPE while I was skiing in Colorado last year and I did use it to track my oxygen levels. It was pretty cool.

The watches are great, and you're right, the Sapphire glass is bomb proof. I think it probably makes sense to wait for the next generation coming from the 5X Plus, but the 5X made sense for me.

  • Tudor Black Bay Blue for casual Friday's (the pre-2015 model with no date)

  • Vintage 1981 steel Rolex date-just for standard business days

  • 1970s vintage Seiko Navigator from important meetings and travel (was a relative's watch and is my "lucky" one)

  • 1990s Zentih El Primero Chrono with light brown ostrich strap for more laid-back client dinners

I've made a decision that I want maximum 5 watches in my collection. Any more need to be exchanged with one I currently have and frankly I am not willing to get rid of any as of now. The ideal 5th would be either a nice Patek Philippe with a complication such as a World Time or a very clean dial, thin Panerai Luminor with a leather strap.

 

Baume and Mercier Classima. Looking at a Datejust soon.

 

Oh man, 90% of these watches are expensive thrash .. so ugly

 

Rolex Daytona 116520. SS with a black dial. Random serial# that is a somewhat “limited” run (blue lume and updated clasp). Basically the last series of Daytona made before going to a ceramic bezel. I think ceramic on a Daytona is criminal.

Bought her in March before shit hit the fan, so now she will forever be my rona watch.

One day I will own a Heritage piece from Breguet. Right now, I have my eyes set on either 5400BR or 5460BA. 

The important thing is never to let oneself be guided by the opinion of one's contemporaries; to continue steadfastly on one's way without letting oneself be either defeated by failure or diverted by applause.
 

Today? I took the day off and went to billyburg. Seiko Sports chronograph. If i'm feeling classy I'll wear the '62 omega.Otherwise one of the islanders or my SKX.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
 

yeah especially if you're in key financial hubs e.g. London.

I put myself on the list 1 year ago and they said end of 22 then, then i went again in feb and they said 5 years. (They will prioritize existing customers) 

Got allocated a 56 complete date but honestly can't be bothered to pan out for that. 

Can't wait for the entire market to implode.

Recently purchased a Breitling Superocean. Kinda on the large side but I love it. Wanted to get the Rolex 2 tone steel/gold blue faced sub but refuse to pay over sticker for it (at my current comp) so we'll see what happens in a few years. Also have a 36mm datejust that is super low key that I love to wear

 

Been rocking a vintage Omega that was gifted to me by family a while back.

Making a upgrade purchase in the next month or so. Have been debating the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra or Rolex Explorer (39mm). Going to be the only watch for a while and want it to suit everyday between work/general activities.

Any opinions on what is a better choice since I have been flipping back and forth for a while? Rolex obviously has the name and the Explorer looks great but is it worth paying an addition $4k - $5k for? I do like the fact, to my knowledge, that the explorer won't scratch as much so will not have to really pay attention/worry about that. The Omega looks great, saves some money, only real (minor) issue is the clasp and not a fan of the back.
