I got the Oystersteel, no date. Personally, I liked the more symmetrical look without the date window.

Yeah it was weird, one dealer told me like 2 years wait and couldn’t be bothered to entertain any of my questions.
The other dealer was super friendly and she asked when I was looking to get it and I said maybe like 6-12 months, wasn’t really sure on the timing. Went there on 9/9 and put my name down for one, got the call today that they had one for me. Definitely surprised me!

Some dealer have connections and seem to get stuff quicker , I had mine service at a Rolex technician he was able to have a turn around in 30 days. The local dealer turn around was 3-6 months .

Wish they made these in a 42 or 44. Most of the simpler watches and dress stuff is just a little too small for me

I can't wear anything smaller than 38. Ends up looking dainty on my 7 inch wrist (178 mm). I won't go bigger than 42. I think my sweet spot is 40 but my newest watch is a 38 which has that dressier look to it.

I posted about this earlier. For the first three seasons of Magnum PI he wore an Chronosport Sea Quartz before switching over to a Pepsi Rolex.
The original owners have created a new brand called Momentum that has a watch called the Sea Quartz. So being a fan of the show I ordered one since the specs are good sapphire crystal, 300 m Water resistance, etc.
Never ordered a micro brand watch or a watch with a tropic strap but got this in today (with a free Hawaiian Shirt as well lol)
Here’s presumably a Magnum PI picture of the OG watch
42 mm but wears smaller on my wrist than my other dive watches (plastic still on)

I don't think I'll ever get a dive watch at the rate I'm going. I definitely prefer dress watches. I need to take a pic of my new Citizen watch that I picked up while in Japan. I saw a lot of cool vintage watches there but also a ton of Rolexes. It's like a Rolex warehouse in that country.
Where's the Hawaiian shirt pic?

That is the actual shirt so consider that the pic! And he’s wearing that watch.
