Good price, no?

Yep. Same price as they are from Japan but you're not paying imports. Good deal.

@regal stupid condition for $740. I was expecting the worst but as always, Japanese seller condition ratings are on the conservative side. Hardly looks like it’s been worn. No box or papers and only one spare link when adjusted to me wrist size, but who cares.

It’s a beaut. Grats.

Is the pube under the crystal?

(Lovely watch, I'm slowly starting to like a few GS models)

It’s a bit poo brown but it’s the cheapest I’ve seen them

Timex definitely on a winner.

Nice. Saw this too, but £190? lol >>>>>

£50 nice, not £200

That would make it worth more, eh?

@edscoble it’s not really timex though is it. It’s a worn and sound limited edition that will probably sell out very soon if not already.

Very nice!

Went to see the 🐘

That really is a lovely watch.

Imagine buying a sub with a big ol’ cyclops, when you can have a no date. So much nicer.

You prefer this or the explorer?

Pretty even rotation tbh - probably wearing this 4/7 but it still has that new feeling.

I’ve only worn these two or Garmin in last 3months. Considering what to do with IWC pilot tbh but will keep Portugueiser as it offers something different

Whipsnade, right? Could’ve dropped by for a cuppa!

I have the no date sub but the GMT has the cyclops and I don't get the hate. Have you spent much time wearing Rolex?

None. I’m not hating at all. I’d happily own a no date sub variant and my attainable grail is easily a 1675/16710.

A date and cyclops makes a lot of sense on a GMT when it’s designed for globe trotting. Just not on a sub IMO.

Yeah makes sense on all accounts. I’ve been wearing a dorky Coros this week as I bought it for running and as ugly as it is, it’s very convenient.

Correct! Got a membership for daughters birthday so think it will be a fairly regular occurrence

I'm going to have to agree with you since that's the decision I made 15 years ago and I've been happy with it. 😁

The cyclops can seem like more of a thing when you look at pictures of the watch, it doesn't make much impression on me when I'm wearing it.

Very nice 👌 looks so good

100% this, it only triggers me in pics.

@Tenderloin We did a couple of years of membership as we’re only 15 minutes away and were up there at least twice a week. Soft play is decent and once they can balance bike/scooter you can jog laps. You bet there are Strava segments at the zoo folks. Get the car pass if you haven’t already and wrap up warm.

That was a bargain, save that seller! Congrats.
