RFI - Speedy Pro
Hello Good People,I'm seriously considering a Speedy Pro as my next watch, but I have some questions/concerns. Although I appreciate the fact that the watch is iconic etc., I'm not going to buy it soley because of its history. At the end of the day, it has to satisfy some practical needs. Admittedly, given the tenor of my inquiries, I'm not a WIS...yet!First, I wonder if I will miss not having a date feature. All of my other watches, including an Omega PO and an Omega day/date reduced, show me the date. As a result, I've become accustomed to having it. I also rely on the date feature for work...though I can obviously determine the date in other manners. I also recognize that I can get a Speedmaster w/ a date function but it won't be a Pro. Plus, I like the 42mm size of the Pro. Any thoughts?Second, is the manual wind a true pain in the or simply an inconvenience? Call me lazy, but I can barely function in the morning and the thought of having to remember to wind the watch gi

Thinking of adding color to my collection
Currently have a BLRO and WG Sub.All white metal. Flat back and flat blue dials.Thinking of adding some color (although the Platona is still an option).What YG or RG watch would you add to my collection?Unfortunately, I am only interested in sports models or SkD.I am torn between the YG blue sunburst sub vs the YG green dial gmt.But, I also like the Daytona YG racing green dial.Then again....maybe a two for....SS/YG sub plus SS/RG Yachtmaster.Just wondering.I keep changing my mind on what I want so I will probably wait to see what comes out at Basel but of the YG/RG watches sports models now....which do you prefer?Thanks.

hello from a watch newbie
Hey everyone,I used to think I was a watch guy with a few Victorinox watches and the stainless steel band on my Apple Watch. 6 months ago, $500 was an expensive watch.Then I was on a weekend getaway in San Fransisco and wandered into the Rolex shop on Market Street. I went back to the store THREE TIMES that day debating the purchase. I'm now the proud owner of a GMT Master II, with the black bezel. Forgive me for not knowing reference numbers and such. :)I'm not sure what happened, but the floodgates opened. That was October or November, and I ended up buying two Tudor Black Bay watches (Heritage ETA with Red Bezel from an AD and the Bronze ETA from Chrono24) to add to the collection. Now I'm searching for the right Rolex compliment to my GMT, and may move the Tudors to swing it. All that's to say, the fever is here, and I've got it good. Anyway, that's the watch stuff. Personally, my name is Corey and I spent 15 years on the road as a working guitarist. If you're into that world, we m
