Some seriously childish comments...This appears to have been a thread to talk **** about T owners (they must have terrible watches?) Not sure what watches have to do with cars, but ok.
So while my intent was simply to say this is ridiculous- now Im kind of enjoying the T owners posting pics of their nice watches.
I feel like the right watch would be a Tudor Black Bay 58.
Some Rolex snobs would say it's a watch for the person who can't afford a real Rolex Sub.
Real enthusiasts will love it and appreciate it for a being a pared down, well executed, back to basics dive watch that's actually quite rare.
And most people will look at it ... and if they notice it at all, say, "Nice Rolex".

I wear something that's a bit more low profile -- a Grand Seiko Snowflake. I think watch enthusiasts know what it is, but it generally flies under the radar.

I'm also new to forum -- looking to get into my first 991.1S. Can someone confirm my this post is going through? I'd like to comment on some FS ads in the classified section. I don't think I have enough user activity to create a WTB post yet.

+1 Tudor definitely growing in the US. I have had my Black Bay for a couple of year and love it.

Seriously? What’s next, posting images of brokerage account balances?
