The GMT II bezel rotates, the Explorer II bezel does not.

Is the brand tanking or something? I had the limited edition version of the classima executive steel on my short list. Don't see it there but the regular executive at $1500 seems pretty sweet.

The Zeppelin finally came yesterday. The strap quality seems good, but it's too big. My wrist is 7.25" and it's a bit loose even on the very last notch.

Can you recommend me some brands I can look at for affordable divers (~$500)? Right now I have two Orient Makos, but one of them is broken and the other scratched up, so I'd like to upgrade.

Definitely an automatic, dial size around 40mm, if price wasn't an issue I'd get an Omega Seamaster or a Rolex Sub. I know about Longines Hydroconquest but it's a bit too expensive and I don't love the way it looks. I also know about Tissot Seastar, which I like but I already have two Tissots (although quartz, but still) so I'd rather get a different brand.

The Halios isn't bad but I don't love it either. Thanks anyway, any more brands/watches?

Looking for a weekend watch under 500. Kinda liking the Obris Morgan Pradata:

I'd like to see some similar styles before pulling the trigger. What are you into?

How accurate is jomashop estimated deliveries? The hamiltion khaki I ordered was on backorder and they said it would ship 1-2 weeks, its been 10 business days so just wondering. Not worried about anything since they havent charged credit card and whatnot, just wondering if 1-2 weeks is a generic timeframe they give on backorders.

I have to say that Blancpains that don't say Fifty Fathoms on them really lose a lot of value on the used market

Example

Thank you both, I like Steinhart more, but it's 42mm which can look to big on me depending on the case shape etc, I'll look if I can try them on in person somewhere. Also they a lot like fake Rolex, isn't this considered a bad thing?
