Out in Montenegro at the moment, decided to leave my daily Omega Seamaster at home and take the Tudor out instead.



Bit annoyed managed to put a knock into the metal work either in the sea or pool but oh well.



Popper down to Porto Montenegro today which is a big harbour for superyachts etc. Rolex have a place down there. They let me try on a Submariner and also a GMT BLNR but have a big waiting list like everywhere else. Surprisingly they were more interested in looking at my Tudor GMT, none of them had seen it in the flesh before. Got a coffee and water out of them so was glad to oblige.

Well?? Is the other half going to love you forever?? Is Montenegro living up to your, or her, expectations???

Yeh it's beautiful, traffic can be a bit of a nightmare though! Off speedboating in a minute.

Only one choice for today; 21st birthday present from my folks.




Its 20 years ago today they gave it me. Still looks good and works well. Has been serviced twice in 20 years (once when my dad managed to snap the winding stem and crown off!) and keeps good time.

I still have the original bracelet but it has stretched and the retaining pins between the links keep falling out.

That looks great. Reminds me of some of the JLC designs.

That is lovely. I saw an IWC Portugeiser for sale on Reddit recently that's very similar in style. The Tissot certainly looks great for the price difference!

Indeed. The JLC is clearly an "homage" wink

Cheers, the dial is lovely in bright light. I didn't like the bracelet it came in so popped it onto a Geckota blue leather strap and it's much nicer.


bazza.

Had my Tudor GMT out in the pool/sea as well lume is good on it. Probably a better lume than my Seamaster 300.

I agree. Love my 300m. My first mechanical watch.

Yep, Steinharts are amazing value.

They actually hold their value well here in DE.

I’d like to add a few more, maybe the all black Ocean One with MOP dial.

I also bought my fiancé the Pink Ocean 39 and it’s such a good looking watch. She loves it.

But then I’d also like to save for an IWC Top Gun in black.
