In the summer leather straps suck if there's humidity IMO. Think about a rubber strap, with a deployment buckle maybe ?
Fair enough, I’d like to dress the watch down - rubber/silicone strap - where to get accessories like that for high end watches. Rolex dealers?

Where do you guys go for leather bands ? I don’t think I want the bracelet look

Honestly, if you love a watch, you will wear it. I wear my VC Overseas literally every day and let my other watches collect dust.
Btw @troph I have the Yachtmaster Rhodium dial, it's an awesome looking watch in person.
you know, there is a captive market here if you are interested in selling that watch. you'd need to dust it off first though to get the highest price.

it's currently first or second right now in the rolex line up. I'd probably put a black silicone or leather band on it I think? saw a video on it saying it's like the 1950s subs. looking at it on a guy's wrist it looks really compact which is good.

Thanks! I still love it, but the pandemic and me working remotely has really limited my opportunities to wear it as much as I would like. I bought a solar G-shock that someone else posted here and it never leaves my wrist.
That’s actually one of my concerns - not the pandemic but style and opportunity to wear them all the time. A lot of times I’m in athletic wear - tennis, active wear like athleta or title nine skorts and tanks or kinda preppy like Lacoste polos etc. all birds, birks, tennis shoes, hair up little or no makeup and these watches will do just fine. The times I go more girlie - skinny jeans, nice tops, face on and all that jazz - which is about half the time - these watches don’t really seem to work style wise.
Dropping $4-12k on a watch I wear half the time is not in line with my lower middle class upbringing.
But in the end I really do want them so I may just have to have more than one.

Gorgeous watch.

One final comment on size. You will get used to whatever you go with. A little bigger is way better than too small. You don’t want to look like Trump and his ladies watch on the golf course. That’s not a political comment. Regardless of your R or D status, that thing is an abomination.
I don't want to look like trump for anything, but I don't want to look like a chick wearing a gargantuan men's watch either. that's the dilemma. I think anything under 40 will work on the face size. I agree about the lugs and the presentation of the glass as well as the band and thickness of the watch. I'm going to try a few on.
I don't think I can swing a seamaster aqua terra and a used rolex yacht-master but goddammit I might try.

Haha I figured you might have been into it pretty good last night.
dude I actually re-entered the light weight class two years ago when I did dry january. did it again this year and I don't even have a drink but 2-3 times a week now. so 4 of those and I'm head spinning dizzy. disclosure: numbers 3 and 4 were at home.

I used to say bumpers but then I started my sailing classes and realized only plebs call them bumpers. No wonder Bruin and 650 look down on us motorboaters so much.

Fenders out while cruising is more offensive than the no food thing. And the no food thing is pretty offensive.

Agree with the above comments regarding lug and bezel size and how "big" the watch will look. Try a few on and see what works for you. Crown and Caliber is another trusted online used watch source.
The 1st Seamaster you posted looks outstanding.
Have you considered Grand Seiko? Thin bezels and smaller sizes are available across their lineup.

I do like the blue face... here's another one or two:
not a blue face but a more feminine style that actually looks really great. I wouldn't feel like I was sacrificing anything to wear this one (though I'd still want a nautical one too):
not an aqua terra but a fantastic looking watch:
markings on the bezel don't work for me, I'd rather have a one hour dial than 24. the various styles of the GMT seamasters are great.
I really like both brands but there are more Omegas I like than the Rolexes. by a mile.

Dang I had no idea it was $65k. Yeah no way. Same ... even if I could afford it. But my budget is 20-25% of that and that’s stretching it on the high end. I’m justifying it with the idea one of my sons will want it when I die - I have law books, I’ll have the watch, next I’ll just need a Randall knife to complete the trifecta.

A sub would probably fit you quite well. They are 40 but pretty thin for today’s standards. I have small wrists and the 40/41 is perfect for me. I tried on an old tag awhile back for shits and grins that was 38 and just no way I could do it. If you think that yachtmaster is $$$, that day-date is in a whole other category.
Funny but it appears we have VERY similar taste in watches. I’ve been close to pulling the trigger on all of those except the second sea master (not my style on that one) and the day date (because that one I truly can’t swing) I always chickened out and dumped the $$ into the kids 529s because I’m boring af. But over all that time I finally found the one I’m going to buy, the Sea Dweller 116600. The last 40mm.
I didn't check the price on the day-date I just like the look for a slightly fem side of masculine dress watch (sorry if that implicates you but I think you are pretty secure dude so not too worried). think lawyer power suits, etc. because if I'm on a date no way I'm wearing a heavy watch like that.
If I go with the omega that first seamaster is just the bomb-dot-com. I'm currently trying to find budget I had for one watch to parlay into two - the omega first one (found one used) and a used yacht-master - there are some titty-bingo bitching 1999 ones that are slightly smaller but look similar to the current styles that I found. I found the wrist simulator on chrono24 and 37 mm might work ok, slightly large but not crazy.
I'm about to get into some deep trouble I think.
sea dweller 116600 is a nice watch.
yacht-master 268655 37mm - shown above - black dial, black bezel, black leather band is probably one of the sexiest watches I have ever seen. freaking $26K sexy. o_O
just doubled checked the day-date... price on request. ha!

I normally laugh my ass off at stuff like that, but every time I click on one, I feel like I’m gonna jinx the shit outa myself. Feels almost dirty. Bad karma
yeah but I highly doubt you're that kind of douche bag dude bro that goes 60 mph through a narrow passage to impress the ladies. and if you are, no thanks. lulz.

You need to go try some on before you narrow down any sizes. And be aware that due to lug styles and shapes as well as bezel design, they don't always look or wear like the size measurement implies.
I've got an email out to the local dealer, will head over there in the next week or two I'm sure.

My only issue with yachtmaster is they seem too bezel dominant. Seems disproportionate to my eye.
Chrono24.com is where I haunt. Looking submariner or GMT.
I can totally see that.

case in point, here's a women's yacht-master for sale on bob's.... nothing like the men's. you guys lose on so much when it comes to fashion but watches you win hands down.
