Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.
My AD has already received one of the New 2024 Tudor Black Bay 41mm Monochrome watches. I had an opportunity to experience it on wrist. She said she expects to receive only two. Making a comparison to my 14060 below, it’s a watch that can give the Submariner a run.- Grangerous

There’s another saying, “Buy Once. Cry Once.” If you want it, get it. If you need to save then save for it. If it takes a couple years to acquire something you really want, you deserve to have it. Its far better than wasting money on a substitution that may never replace what you truly...- Grangerous

Yes. Exactly. And if you have kids, they’ll build fond memories and remember “Dad’s Watch.” It’ll be something they’ll cherish.- Grangerous

There’s a saying, “Buy Nice or Buy Twice.” It holds true. If you want a Harley Davidson but buy something else, you’ll eventually sell that to obtain what you’ve wanted all along. How many watch boxes are full of pricey homage and lower tier watches, bemoaning the cost of the Blancpain...- Grangerous

Rolex is increasing production to 1.3 million watches. It may still not meet worldwide demand.- Grangerous

The Longines Spirit Zulu 39 is real stunner. They also offer a Titanium version, Time Only. But the line is essentially GMT and sized at 42mm. Beautiful watches. For anyone interested in Longines, they offer lot of watch value.- Grangerous

It’s amazing how our personalities align with each hobby. I was confiding to Briar lee, offline,that those of us interested in horology find personal niches that brings us joy. I find something I like and I don’t stray far. In other words; Burley. I’ll share what I recently related to...- Grangerous

Rolex today has out-priced themselves from the enjoyment of their intended use. They are capable “tool” watches but, due to the extravagant cost, are painfully uncomfortable to use as tools. The fear of theft or damage prohibits enjoyment. Now Tudor, on the other hand, is producing the Rolex...- Grangerous

The Pelagos is my latest watch and the healthiest. Watchmaker told me it’s at a 326 and keeping +4 seconds. It’s almost comically light being my first Titanium watch. I like the sheen of the gray metal. Almost forget its on my wrist. It’s a solid choice and encourage you to obtain and enjoy...- Grangerous

Picking up a new Tudor Ranger 39 tomorrow. That will round out my Tudor collection… until after Watches and Wonders. These things make my PAD seem like a bottle cap collection. Wrist shot to follow.- Grangerous
