Any watch lovers here????

Well, in visiting Mega Donki in Shabuya, I saw some Seiko’s I liked. I started with the Seiko 5 GMT auto in Green, almost went with a maroon Prospex sub, but settled on the Batman-ish SBSC017 GMT auto. I figured the watch would go well at work but not be in your face like my coworker rocking a Hublot.

 

That's a sharp watch.

Bought my old man a glock skeleton watch for father's day, it's very well built imo

 

I am on the cusp of pre-ordering a Sinn U15 as a work watch, I just have not been able to pull the trigger yet lol.

 

I've got a Sinn and it's become one of my favorite watches. Simple, classy and durable as hell.

I say go for it.

 

On a pilot forum there is a guy near ATL with a Speedmaster Pro 2572.50, full boxes, papers, links, asking $3750. It ahs some normal wear for a ~25yo watch and a chipped Hesalite crystal. But seems decent. I think its a little much, but I'm cheap. If anyone is interested I can PM link and pics.

 

I've been looking around to see what was interesting and maybe a Tag F1 or an older IWC aquatimer.

but. . . I need a new iphoner and I want a new Nikkor 200-500mm lens.

 

Some stupid sales on Breitlings going on and I'm trying to decide if I'm enough of a sorta sleazy chucklehead to pull one off.

 

Oh shit I have had my eye on a Breitling or two, where you seeing the sales?

 

Meh. About the only Breiting i would buy is something like this....SuperOcean and I even prefer the Vintage ones myself..

Jomas is the most recent.

 

I dig their Top Time's.

 

For me, the Breitling Vintage 3 register top-time is much more appealing than 99% of Rolex Daytonas.
Link or Link
or if you want Gold or Panda

 

Yeah I totally would run one of those!

 

I have had my eye on a green faced Navitimer on a bracelet for a while now, I have just not decided to pull the trigger

Uh... bit too spendy for me but love the green dial.

 

In SXM again, multiple Grand Seikos on my wrist to look at.... passing again

 

I equate Breitling to aviation watches and if you’re in aviation, I think it’s a solid choice. At least that’s my brand perception.

On my flight back to the US I sat next to a pilot dead heading or on reserve and he was rocking a gold Rolex sub and I chuckled in my mind that if anyone should have a GMT or pilot watch, it would be a pilot running international routes. However his watch definitely had wear and tear as an everyday tool watch so a sub makes sense.

 

Some of the Grand Seikos I saw looked awesome, but in the $10k range, just not sure I would go GS vs a Tudor GMT. I also saw a mid-tier King Seiko line which I had not seen before.

 

King Seiko is a re-introduction. Solid stuff.
They were a line in mid-60s.
