    @RobeOfTheMagi I also have this Explorer 1 reference and enjoy wearing it. I was lucky enough to be offered one of the first current 40mm versions pretty soon after they were released. The older 36mm with the more basic / less robust clasp is way more comfortable.

      @ddtrash I have the 36mm as well. It’s a hard watch to beat.

        @RobeOfTheMagi awesome watch!! I love the Explorer. I was looking at that and the Air King. Got called first from AD on the Air King, but the Explorer is just timeless and classic.

          A couple of people were eyeing up the new Tudor GMT. Monochrome has a review, and they like it a lot.

            Yes, this is a great option for true GMTs.

              Internals and size aside, the polar model is to my eye the best looking one and one of the best looking GMTs period.

              Think it, be it.

                I love this crazy watch. Usually I have kind of conservative taste in watches but love Einstein and love the whimsy.

                Think it, be it.

                  That Einstein watch is crazy, nearly as crazy as the price it'll fetch at auction next week.

                    My favorite Only Watch 2024 is the Moser Pandamonium. Talk about whimsy...

                      IMO Omega has the drop of the year with the white dial Moonwatch ref. 310.30.42.50.04.001

                      Currently this is my grailed piece, if an AD had one and I had $11k cad burning a hole in my pocket I'd have one on my wrist immediately. One can dream.

                        Wearing the Nautilus a bit more often now. Most comfortable watch with a bracelet I own.

                        A combination of the slim light case and small link, flexible bracelet help the comfort level.

                          Moser is re-releasing the Streamliner center second, in green and purple.

                          I'm not sure I like the transparent logo better, but in any case they are gorgeous watches.

                              @mvttryvn I've seen a white faced Speedmaster, and it was lovely. I would definitely pick it over the black dial version.

                              Monochrome has just posted a hands-on with the watch if you need any more temptation in your life.

                                I have a Speedy, but in all honesty, I just don't get the hype.

                                I'm very attached to mine as it is a one-off. Built on a 321 movement with a Japanese Racing Dial.

                                But I don't like it enough to be a daily wear.....

                                  It’s lovely and they’re cool watches in theory but in practicality I don’t use chronographs enough to justify that complication versus a diver with screw down crown and no buttons that can leak if submerged

                                  Think it, be it.

                                    I wore my Moon To Mars Speedy daily for a bit and enjoyed it, but it always felt like a fragile watch. I couldnt get that out of my head.
