No Rolex in Stock - What else are you shopping?
I love my Explorer but travel a lot and would like a second time zone. Dealers don't have GMT's. I can wait a few years, buy for way over MSRP, or get something else.
I bought a Grand Seiko quartz GMT after looking at a lot of watches. GS quartz is well done and tuned to +- 5 sec a year. It takes a lot to pull this off so it's interesting tech and high workmanship, also a lot less cost. Maybe it's safer to wear in some of the places I go. It does the job although anything other than my Explorer is a let down. Maybe someday I'll buy a GMT, maybe not. What's everyone else doing? Is Rolex losing you? |

I waited about five weeks and scooped up an Explorer II. But I was a week away from a Tudor GMT

I wouldn’t say Rolex is losing me, but I’ve certainly been exploring other brands. In the past year, I picked up an IWC Mark XVIII and blue Cartier Santos.

Got a new Omega Seamaster instead of waiting/paying over for a Submariner.
Happy with the decision so far. Sent from my SM-A530F using Tapatalk |

Grand Seiko has had my attention for something a bit dressier, maybe even quartz.

My AD and friend who is also a WIS and collector himself came up with this last week. A 16710 that they sold new in 2004. Yes, its mine now.

Grand seiko. Contemplating a PAM 422. But strongly considering moving into PM.

Nothing watch wise. Maybe the omega seamaster 42 ceramic white dial black bezel when it drops in November

A couple Panerai + Omega Speedmaster. My Rolex collection is pretty solid anyway.

Just because Rolex has some shortages doesn't mean you have to go elsewhere. Here are this years pickups:

Definately a good time to grab a Panerai. I think the market will eventually turn up for the brand too.
