OT: Watch Talk

[ntb1001]

Submariner watches are still in demand and hard to get at retail from an AD. I would consider a slightly less popular model such as Explorer 2, or Seadweller and try with an AD to get new one at retail.

I tried on an Explorer II last week and really liked it. I think it might have a little more "street-cred" than a sub but that's a YMMV statement. I have been looking for a GMT since I was stuck in another time zone while dealing with family issues this past summer.

You guys rule. That’s all. Thanks for all the support!

If you're open to a watch that straddles sporty and dress, take a look into the JLC Master Geographic. Iterations of that movement have been used for around 30 years in various watches from JLC, AP, and VC - it's a very well regarded movement. The newest iteration is gorgeous (https://www.jaeger-lecoultre.com/us-...steel-q4128420) and can be had under MSRP.

If you want an Explorer II that wears smaller, take a look at later variants of the 16570; they include a newer 3186 movement and have a no-hole case.

Back to the dive watch - take a look at a Glashutte Original SeaQ Pano Date: https://www.glashuette-original.com/...6-13-02-81-70/.
