Has this ever happened to you?
Short version. Rolex only guy for many, many years. Discovered Panerai. Started with the 88 then sold it for the 422. Could not get the Rolex GMT2C out of my head though so picked one up BNIB last week as a second watch and have been wearing it since while my 422 sits in a drawer. The GMT2C is beautiful to be sure, love the bezel and the polished links, but I get this feeling that it just lacks something the 422 has in terms of making me smile when I look at it. For one, it now seems smaller than it really is. Second, I think that Panerai are so different and so unique that there is just something special about them. Hard to put into words, really. A presence, I suppose, at the risk of sounding too dramatic.Slapping on the 422 tonight (after bringing it back to life) and will use the GMT2C for golf, fishing, swimming, beach, and hot humid outdoors activities as well as to change things up a bit from time to time.

To Flip, or Not to Flip?
Hi TRFers. I'm in the midst of a quandary, and I'm hoping for some solid advice:I've had my Sub 114060 for almost a year now, and while I have been fully enjoying my time with it, lately I find myself craving something a bit more unique. Ive always been drawn to the BLNR, and I'm on the list for one at a local AD, which I've been told should be available with in the next 2-3 months. Thing is adding it in addition to my 114060 is definitely not an option. I would have to trade the Sub, plus cash to make the switch. I just don't know if I'd regret it down the road. Arguments for: date/gmt function, I love the unique black/blue bezel, I've grown to like the pcl's so much that I think I actually prefer them to the bcl's, although the glidelock is great I dont use it much (and never change it more than 5mm), I've tried the BLNR on once before and preferred the fit/case dimensions to the Sub, its more unique...and probably the main reason (although I told myself when I got the Sub that I

2nd Watch Dilemma.......
So I bought my first luxury timepiece back in September 2017 and although I love my Submariner 116610LN, I have been craving a second luxury time piece ever since. I have slim wrists so anything over 40mm is a no go, my budget realistically is around 3,000 to 4,000. I'm looking for something a bit more dressy. So I have short listed it to these 3 and do not know which one to go for, love them all equally. Wrist shots and any other suggestions welcome:- 1- Omega Speedmaster First Omega in Space 39.7mm - Reference 311.32.40.30.01.001- ?3,520 RRP.2- Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36mm - Reference 116000 - ?3,950 RRP. 3- Grand Seiko Automatic 37mm- Reference SBGR251 - ?3,700 RRP.

Black Roman Jubilee Dial
Thoughts on this dial please?Are they popular? Is it true that in addition to the Fluted bezel being White Gold that the Roman numerals are as well?Thanks for y'alls advice. Thinking of purchasing one locally.
