I’ve got a blue DJ41 126300 on oyster, a sub 114060, an early 2000s Tag 2000 series quartz and an Apple Watch 3.


If prices come down to MRSP or preferably just below I’ll try to acquire a Pepsi SS, a chrono such as moonwatch sapphire sandwich or if things get really shitty, a ceramic Daytona white. Dream atm is a bluesy which I’d probably trade the sub no date for plus cash and I’d really like a current explorer ii polar. Greedy I know...

This is assuming my job is safe and we all come through the other side.

Good luck to all and say safe!

Over time I stumbled into the perfect 3-pack. Perfect size, perfect useful complications, different looks and different feels.. I wouldn’t trade these for anything

That’s an interesting mix. How do you like the Ball and how does it compare to the Rolexes?

You’re right! That is a very diverse set. I saw an exp ii polar in the metal recently and liked it way more than I thought.

I have a SubC and blk ss SkyD. I would like to round out my trio with a DaytonaC someday. How heavy is that RG SkyD? The SS SkyD is heavy enough. Add PM and... whew

Nice combo! Careful with that polar. The Explorer II is so darn legible and easy to read, they can become addicting.

The rose gold is about 250 grams. Almost double the SS weight. Personally I enjoy the heft.

That’s exactly what I noticed about the exp II! I was told it was because the cyclops was 2.5x. I also liked how it wore on my wrist. It was an older 5 digit one so I really like the proportions.

Dang that is heavy! Obviously we all get use to it but... that’s heavy!

The second LV is NOS. Flame away. Yes I have a watch that I don't wear.

Rolex Explorer 24/7. Thats it. Once I get used to one watch, I hate switching.

So technically the second LV is not in your rotation.

Triple wrist? Do you find it difficult to type?

I like the 50 fathoms.

I was the same. SubC for about 10 years and then my interest was renewed. I discovered this forum after I purchased my SkyD and never looked back.

Sorry to be slow to answer; I really like the Ball a lot! Love its lume. It's not as accurate as my Rolex watches but it's comfortable and substantial. It looks really good as well. Here's a couple of lume shots.

Very cool! I really like the 2 color lume.

On a separate note, there are sooooo many good watches out there as I learn more and more. I’ve also realize that I will never be a prodigious consumer of watches which I guess it’s a good thing for my wallet and home. I’m more of a curator and so limit myself to just pieces that really speak to me.

I absolutely do not begrudge anyone who loves to buy because I selfishly get to indulge in their passion and get enjoyment checking out all these cool watches like your Ball.

Thanks for sharing!

Current rotation for me is probably my Tin Tin Speedmaster, No Date Sub, and my Timex Marlin Automatic Snoopy :)

Need to get better at daily rotations now that I'm home and in less of a rush to get out the door. I can actually take the time to wind/set something that I haven't worn in a few days.

Mostly this wannabe Daytona because it's super comfortable. It was supposed to be my beater watch or my watch for traveling undercover in sketchy places.

It makes for a great stay-at-home watch!

Thanks!! I really like the lume of the watch but in practice the color different isn't at obvious to my eye as to the camera. So you get an understanding regarding larger collections. I went from 21 watches to three a little over a year ago. That is how I ended up with my current collection. Also, I just got a new piece today (see below). There's nothing wrong with having a smaller collection. I'm actually back up to six watches. Still much better that 21.
