How is this thread at the bottom of page 4?
I really like the Tissot PRX line. Royal Oak vibes, but not an homage or copy. They just released pics of the upcoming chronograph version, as well as green dials being offered for the quartz and automatic versions. I probably will get a quartz one to have an integrated bracelet in the lineup without getting in the way of my baller chronograph goals.
Yeah Tissot is really nice at that price point. Super impressed with the powermatic80 lineup.
I've been a little busy myself, bought a classic sea dweller 40mm from 98 as a more discrete bang around, and then through a little horse trading ended up with a 42mm pelagos.
The lineup is redundant and will certainly be sold/traded to shake it up. But for now appreciating them all.
The pelagos is major bang for the buck, already holds a soft spot in my heart.
The spring loaded divers extension mechanism on the clasp is next level, super lightweight (titanium), helium escape valve, 500m waterproof... It's basically a true tool watch like Rolex used to be.
Also the lume is badass

Personally, I think the Tudor is the best looking of that bunch, but all are great watches.
All three are fantastic. I like the medium, large, holy fuck size thing going on here. Just a great collection. And yeah, Tudor is THE best watch dollar for dollar in the world. Period. I'm serious. The Pelagos and the BB58 are just absurd value.
Omega x Swatch "Moonswatch" collaboration just released at select Swatch stores. I'd like to pick up the Mission to Neptune version if they start selling them online. There's also a Mission to Uranus version, of course.

It's kinda of gay and awesome at the same time.
Couple new additions to keep this on the front page.
The pelagos was short lived and turned into the Pepsi Tudor
Swaye pointed out to me that the darker shade of blue actually makes this appear like a Coke GMT depending on the shadow. Absolutely love this and will keep as my everyday for the foreseeable future.
Then I got "the call" from my Rolex AD for my heaviest hitter yet.
TT white dial Sky Dweller. This thing is flashy as hell but I love it as my dressier sport watch. Perfect douchebag Easter Sunday accessory.

Congrats on the newest additions, @Doogles. Those are two fantastic time pieces. I'm really envious re the Sky-Dweller. I think the fluted bezel works great on the SD.
You're definitely fast-strategy as fuck!

Used to hate the Sky Dweller, but now think it's pretty nice especially the gold with black dial variant. Two-tone is also pimp.
Rolex hated tall people in the early 80s. The 42 mm fluted Bazel looks so much better than the 36 mm. I speak from experience.
I look forward to meeting @doogles someday
Best looking diver ever made.
I would definitely make that trade for the Blancpain if it were my decision to make. Only part I don't really care for is the date location. It probably should just not have a date wheel at all.

The dive bezel on the Rolex is much smoother and more satisfying to rotate than the Blancpain as well (though the FF is more pronounced and stiff between clocks,this is probably intentional for underwater purposes, however Rolex is like butter on glass and I find it much more enjoyable)
