I’m assuming as bought new you still have all the papers? If by any chance not then I would have thought a an ‘official’ Rolex service certificate / card will be worth paying the extra for, if you...
1) varies wildly - a year ago it would have been a LIP Mach 2000 chrono... nowadays I find myself drawn to the Seiko SKX033 Pepsi 'mini sub'. Depends what I'm doing though - I regularly spend time...
Big fan of blue dials (especially blue/gold), but in this case I'd have no hesitation in going for the black.

I ran an ancient X-ray set in a research setting back in the 80s - really impressed with the definition you have got with the casebacks in place! I’d have had to burn through about 20 plates trial...
Bloody gorgeous...

If you want something a little different to all the foregoing... Dunhill DM7s can offer very good value for money. Might be a bit dressy for playing in the park though!...
I much prefer the classic oyster case dimensions on the Tudor. I find the Rolex colours more appealing though.

I wouldn’t ever scrimp on tools that require an edge (springbar tools, screwdrivers etc) - completely false economy in my opinion. Cousins offer good value mid-range tools, I’ve found.

Sunburst blue is particularly wonderful, on certain watches...

Absolutely agree - never lusted after the Daytona for some reason, though I did purchase a Bravus (now defunct, I think) ‘Slipstream’ homage from SC many years ago. It had silver hands on a white...
Blue as well for me - slightly surprised at how many share my taste!

I’ve owned multiple Oris and the bracelets have been a stand-out feature on them all - great quality and feel.

Now the inevitable dilemma for an unworn catch... do you wear it, or keep it pristine in the box?

I walked into Selfridges years ago, ready to buy my ‘grail’ Tag Monaco in the Gulf Racing colours. Walked out with the money still in my account, after strapping it to my 6.5” wrist. Looked like I’d...
Likewise - it’s hands-down my “...if the house was on fire and you only had time to save one...” choice, & it’s so good to know there are others similarly afflicted!!

Surprises me how many on this thread do this - I thought that I was the only one!! It’s part of my pre-departure ritual for short-haul. I like hearing the crew’s confirmation that I’ve got things...
I wear 40+ watches in rotation, but my Lip Mach 2000 chrono with coloured gumball pushers gets most comments, by far.
Some of them are even positive...

I own both a Tag Heuer 1000 ‘Wolfie’ and a pre-Tag 1000 - the pre-Tag Heuer is noticeably better quality.
