Watches

I like watches too, but hard to pull the trigger on too many at the moment give the spike in prices the last few years. I have an Omega Speedmaster that’s my nice watch. I’m a big space nerd and have wanted one since I was a kid, so I bought one right after I made partner at my firm.

I’ll probably bite the bullet and get a Rolex in the next couple years (leaning towards a Sub or potentially the rose gold Yachtmaster). Someday I’d like to get a vintage DayDate from my birth year just as a keepsake, but not sure I’d ever actually rock a full gold watch outside of super special occasions. I’ve also always wanted the Tudor LHD Pelagos, because it’s a quirky watch and fun. That one is relatively cheap so I might grab a nice used one if I get a wild hair.

Once I’ve “made it” and we’re pretty set financially, I think I’ll get a AP Royal Oak or Patek just to stunt.

There are a lot of great watch brands, but my long term plan is more quality over quantity and try to go for pieces that I can keep in the family and pass down eventually to my kids.

I love Omega. I’ve been rocking a replica seamaster for the last few weeks. One day I will buy a real one haha.

Some people hate them but I really like the moonswatch as well.

You should buy one of the Swatch Moonwatches. You can get the Mars one to rock on Husker game days.
 
Garmin and Avigation Big eye by longines. Also a couple vintage seikos.

My likely next two watch purchases:


The never happening in a million years dream:


Really enjoyed this Rolex Daytona last time I was In the boutique, that said they are overpriced for what they are

That Rolex is nice AF

There’s a lot of replicas of those that people try to pass as real though so be careful
Yep, I can buy the Mars one straight through Swatch. Not worth the risk to try to save a few bucks on the secondary market. Should be here in a few days. If we win the bowl game then I’m legally obligated to wear it for all future games.
