A decade ago one John link Mayer called the 5513 one of his "best buys" in vintage Rolex for under 8000. link Since then the market has gone up and back down like a Mayer guitar riff which has even made me feel like it might be a "best buy" again relatively speaking as always.

Grand Seiko makes many GMTs but they are largely either less than the Tudor thanks to being quartz or more like the Spring Drive SBGE201.

One of the most interesting G-Shocks of the year is the MTG-B2000PH "Blue Phoenix." True confession I managed to annoy a couple of folks at HODINKEE by repeatedly link and mistakenly calling it "Blue Peacock" in meetings but link c'mon look at this thing. You could link forgive a man for making a mistake.
And then they started link biting. All that fussing link about and link the solution turned out to be not thinking about how to do it and instead just doing it. We pulled up a couple of sheepshead some croakers a white trout and even lost a few big ones most likely a redfish.
