This week's duo, just the time.

Going with these 2 for my tag team this week. On the right the venerable F91, on the left the equally venerable SNK807, both are fairly simple as far as watches go. The Seiko was my first mechanical watch, I have considered selling it (because it lacks any kind of timer mostly), but just thinking about that whole process makes me dread taking that course of action, so I guess it stays, look it has a mustard stain on the band! And it's such a charming watch! The Casio is... well it's the F-91, another classic watch that just piles on the charm. I always say this is the watch that makes me feel more of one with the human race, how many people are wearing on at this exact moment? How loud would the collective of hourly beeps be? I don't really want another F91, but I wouldn't say no to a slightly less military inspired Seiko along the same lines, but maybe a dive watch, those new 38mm ones look like fun!

Very nice duo! Also a bit of cleaning can probably get that mustard stain right out

I've got both of those (the Casio in orange though). The SNK was also my first automatic watch and for the past week I've been wearing it everyday. I've been amazed how well it has kept time. Been loosing less than 10 seconds a day, on average around 5 seconds.

My SRPE looses more than that.

Glad that Seiko have now started making smaller versions of the newer Seiko 5 line.

I endorse both of these iconic choices.

My SNK has seemingly really good time keeping. At the very least it keeps to within 30 seconds of the F91, of course the lack of hacking and my lack of a precise way to measure accuracy doesn't help in seeing how good time it keeps.
