I have a cheap Chinese junk one that works like a champ. The watches that aren’t in rotation are on the winder. The watches that are in rotation are wound daily. I set those watches every few days to the second. It my watch ritual.

Yes, each one is individually hand aged. No two are alike. There are 3 levels of aging available. This example is a Level 2. Level 3 would have some of the lume missing on the hands. They come in 3 sizes in both A and B configuration. An original WWII example would have been 55mm (vs 45mm...

LACO DORTMUND ERBSTÜCK https://www.laco-watches.com/en/watches/pilot-watch-original/pilot-watch-dortmund-erbstueck-45mm-handwinding

Just because I like to start shit.

@BeeMaa is becoming a watch pimp........:unsure:

Excellent choice. It’s a perfect size, accurate, durable, great lume, works well with all strap styles, and understated. They are supposed to be discontinued in this current state. They are a steal at the gray market prices.

Swarovski Z8i 1.7-13.3x42 Leupold VX-6HD 2-12X42 CDS-ZL2 ILLUM. FIREDOT DUPLEX Both offer turret options allowing you to set elevation for loads. The Swarovski is the better of the two in glass, ease of turret set up and customization. (I own and use both) You can also use something like a...

Aftermarket NDC https://ndcstraps.com/en-us/products/original-ndc-strap Their is also. https://erikasoriginals.com/ This style can be found on Ali Express for less than $2.00 a strap, but they aren’t quite the same quality and will have to be cut and shortened for people under 7.25” wrists...

Justify is such an ugly word.

Do it!

That combo always looks nice.

The new Tudor BB41 White gives off a 16800 Sub vibe.

No, no real difference at all……:unsure:

It’s a good little watch. It’s running +2 per, on the time graph. That’s a $1.72 Ali Express strap. It came with a quality single pass nato and Ti Bracelet. I have less than $100 in the whole thing. A steal. It‘s going to stay in the rotation.

You can't go wrong with this. Wear it to Africa. Bring a second. Give both away, just because.

You found your watch. We've crossed the 'need' Rubicon a long time ago in this thread.

The two watches, I currently wear the most, are the Railmaster and Tudor LHD Pelagos. They have classic styling. Are at a price point I don’t mind getting ‘use wear’ from. They are the right weight and size for my wrist. Work with 99% of what I wear. They can easily change their look with...

Both are easy, depending on your willingness to price at or slightly below market value. just like rules their are brands you pay top dollar for and they hold their value well or appreciate in value. In mid to upper range watches, there is always ‘drive off the lot’ depreciation when...

Here, let me help you spend some money. $3250ish street price gray market / $4800ish AD w/discount / $5,700 AD NIB Great luxury tool watch. Perfect size. Not too flashy. Great LUME. Strap monster. Omega Railmaster Seamaster Reference 220.10.40.20.01.001 Between lugs 20 mm Lug‑to‑lug...

The best ones are currently north of $1500.

I've seen the bezel part on anyone who works on a dive boat. I've seen more Seiko watches than anything else on the few professional divers I knew (very few). They all had expensive watches that they blew their checks on, though.

I wear a watch for nostalgia now or a simple bottom timer.

I meant to say that and the statements are exclusive of each other. What I’m about to say assumes the watch is functioning correctly and its features are set correctly. When they pressure test a watch, it’s in a chamber sitting and a vacuum applies pressure. When swimming the forces from...

Movement or your arm swimming or diving into water, can cause more pressure on the crown stem seal than 5 ATM. Any watch, with a screw down crown rate to 150+ feet, should not have this issue.

Boderry Voyager Ti field watch (Ali Express sale ends 3/28) $128.00 Ti band $88.00 NATO strap No matter where you’re at in watches, this is a STEAL at this price. Beat it up, give it as gifts to trackers/guides w/their tips. Buy multiples and stack deep, this is an amazing field watch for the...

Some if you may get this…..some will not

That is an amazing case back.

Yep, the price was too good on steel. This iteration is supposed to be discontinued. It’s one of the overlooked gems in the Omega collection, IMHO. The 8806 METAS, at this price, is a steal. 40mm is the perfect size for this type watch. It’s weight is balanced and feels solid on the wrist...
