Ha ha...I feel you on that. 44 is about my max too, although I have an Omega Ploprof so it kind of busts that up although the lug to lug size isn't too bad. I have the 87 and an 05 I had DLC'd to look like the 195. If I could go back I would give the 00 the DLC treatment. I love a no date dial. I have the bad habit of doing minor customizing on some of mine (the two PAMs and removed the cyclops off a new red/anniversary Sea Dweller). I really want an Omega Speedmaster Mitsukoshi.....will go the modded route as they are much much less expensive and made with OEM parts anyway.

Was hoping Rolex would have done that new Ti Yachty as a no date, like the prototype, but non dice. Maybe next year they will. Otherwise...i might get one and remove the cyclops (not a fan).

The last person that made a comment about the price of my watch drove a 75k truck. My watch has doubled in value since then, pretty sure his truck has gone down in value.

I wear some chunky watches but nothing quite like the 47mm Submersibles. The Ploprof sits find on my wrist. I was too lazy to take of picture of them but they are in this pic of my divers with HEVs.* The DSSD is pretty chunky too.




*technically the PO Goodplanet isn't a diver but it has a manual HEV

I really hope the new PO eliminates the HEV. At least for the GMT models. It's ridiculous to have one in something that's not even supposed to be a dive watch.

Was going to start a thread but saw this one and figured you baws would have an answer. Inherited this watch recently but have no idea what im actually working with here.

Yep...very similar taste. Very very nice collection. I own or owned 3 of the exact same watches. Sold the DSSD to get a red/anniversary sea dweller. After 10+ years of owning DSSD, my OCD couldn't take the "original escape etc" around the dial. Would be the perfect watch for me with just that brushed steel ring and no script. LOve the size and technology. I even looked into having someone remove the script. Apparently it is laser engraved so...No dice...no one reputable would touch it. Decided to go back to a SD for a few reasons. Most of which...The 5-digit SD was my first "nice" watch in 2003 and the one that kicked off the madness. The modern red SD is about the perfect watch for me. Proportions are about perfect on it I think.

Love that 116600! That will be a "modern" one that collectors chase one day. I almost dumped the DSSD for that one when it came out.

Ploprof is a beast...it messes with my OCD/brain for a week or so until my brain gets used to the crown being on the other side. The case work (polished beveled edges and corners of the case/shape, side of bezel, caseback, etc.) & bracelet on it are about the nicest I've seen on a sports watch. Always wear it fishing or when on boats. OEM PAM bracelet is pretty legit too.

Tudor is starting to really put out some nice stuff. That fixed bar-lugged, blue-dialed diver that won the award last year is pretty cool. Kind of reminiscent of the military Sub. Also love the pelagos with the red text, chronos, and that one that looks like the Rolex 1655 (wish Rolex would remake that one..I'd sign up for it).

As a manlet about 60% of that picture is way too big for my wrist I'll stick with my BB58 or my Garmin

I did get picked for the newest Halios Seaforth release, but it hasn't been built yet. Patiently waiting on Jason to get the dials in.

For those of us with jealousy at home…

In the most vague way possible what kind of desk job has supported that watch collection?
