Any wristwatch enthusiasts here?

My Vostok Europe Big Z model watch is now only one USPS sorting facility away and I might get it tomorrow.

Very excited to get this watch. Bought it from across the pond so shipping has taken a day or ten so far.

Right on! New watch days are great days!

My Hamilton is supposed to be here Tuesday, but I also got a Seiko GMT in orange which I'm excited for as well and that arrives on Monday. I like the idea of an automatic watch with a complication that allows me to track MST and EST at the same time.

Not a watch collector but I like them.
I wear a Rolex Datejust, silver and gold jubilee. I bought it about 32 yrs ago, and it was a few years used at the time. Now it's worth more than I paid for it. Nothing like wearing a Rolex for 32 yrs, all the while making money on it. I might upgrade in the future, to a newer one, not sure.

You really can't go wrong with a Rolex! They are the 52 Topps Mantle of watches.

It arrived!!! The seller didn't advertise the autograph was included. I am guessing they didn't know it was in the case. You have to remove the top layer to get to it. Luckily I knew where the factory put them. This is #173/500 made.

The only bad thing is I hate these type of straps. I will have custom python straps made and use one of my Rolex clasps.

That's a sharp looking watch, congrats! Love the auto as well.

If it were me I'd be eyeing either a nato strap, or mostly likely a rubber strap with that watch. This would be my personal pick, but with a gold buckle.
