Christmas came early. While at the American Dream mall, my amazing wife bought me my Grail Watch. The Longines Hydroconquest GMT in blue. I am so blessed.

Wearing my new Bulova Marine Star 98B467 for the first time today. - ​Movement: Automatic (Miyota Caliber 8215) with a ~42-hour power reserve - ​Case Diameter: 41 mm - Lug to Lug: 48 mm - ​Case & Bracelet: Two-tone stainless steel with yellow gold-tone ion-plated accents - ​Dial: Sunray emerald green with luminous gold-tone indices/hands and a date window at 3 o'clock - ​Bezel: Unidirectional rotating gold-tone bezel featuring a split green-and-black aluminum insert - ​Crystal: Anti-reflective sapphire crystal - ​Water Resistance: 200 meters / 20 ATM (screw-down crown and screw-back case)

My birthday is on August 3rd. My wife wants to buy me a new watch. Im looking at my first Citizen and my first green dial, but im torn between two. The Brycen or the Promaster Dive. Both are Eco Drive and both are 43mm. I like both but its close. Like a 51% - 49% close.

I have never been much of a high luxury watch lover. Not for the reason on the extreme high price, they just never appealed to me. For me a watch is a tool, a memory and a story. My one watch if I ever get it is the Longines Hydroconquest GMT with the blue dial.

Gentlemen, Following up on the newest addition to my collection that I shared recently, I’m looking to grab an additional strap to change up the vibe. The watch came on a classic gold bracelet, but I’m leaning toward a dark brown leather strap to give it a more versatile, casual look. I'd love to get the group's collective wisdom on this.
