I’ve tried to like the Tudor sports watches but every time I can’t bring myself to buy one. I won’t but a watch without a date complication and all of the Tudors with a date are too chonky for me. I’m also not crazy about the snowflake hands. I’m sticking with Rolex and Breitling for sports/professional watches but I really like the looks of the 1926 41mm on a bracelet. At only 9.3mm thick, it gives off sleek vintage vibes but with modern durability. Now, I just need to decide between the black and the white dial.

Zenith Elite Ultra Thin. Lots of variants, including no date. $1500 and up and its a high end watch. I love my Zenith (not an Elite Ultra Thin). Attached File |

On the wrist as I sit around here shitposting. https://i.postimg.cc/7ZwHjq9j/IMG-4585.jpg The P39 is awesome. I like it more and more every time I wear it. I have a hankering for an FXD now. Just debating on regular FXD or the GMT. |
