re: OT- Wrist Check

Have two Submariners a 16610 & 116610. Some days I prefer the classic style of the 16610 and some days I like the Maxi dial look. I have a brown leather band on the 16610. Incredibly comfortable and flexible watch.

Rolex Explorer 1 - model 214270. This may be my favorite watch though my wife has basically taken it from me. I love the look and the dial and just I really love the classic Rolex dials overall. Have to admit, the watch fits my wife's style really well and looks better on her wrist. Love that watch regardless of who wears it.

Vintage Explorer 1 model 1016. It's from the 60's. Love the watch, but rarely wear it because the dial size is so small. 35 or 36mm, I believe. Explorers wear small and it looks almost tiny on my wrist. My wife wears it sometimes, but prefers the 39mm modern one.

Panerai model PAM00632 - It's a brown face with the Panerai arrow logo near 6:00. Retrospect, I wish I would have gone for a black face, but at the time I really wanted something different.

Tag Heuer Monza Calibre 17 - Wanted a chrono that did break the bank (relatively speaking). Bought it used for a really good price. I also wanted and all black watch, it fit the bill nicely and I wear it fairly regularly.

I have a watch that I love from a small company in New Zealand called Magrette. It's a steel Moana Pacific Professional. A really nice watch for a pretty good price-point. I think it was only $600.

IWC Pilots Watch mk. XVIII Heritage - I have to admit, I never wear this watch. I like it, but regret the purchase a bit. Again, bought it used, so I got a good price, but for how much I wear it, I probably should let go of it.

I also have a couple Seiko divers watches. All nice stuff, bought them when I was first getting into watches.

It's definitely a slippery slope once you get a taste for watches!
