Vacation?
The last 2 years i had a vacation with 3 watches to SF which were more then enough. Earlier this year i did 2 (these) and was very content. Looking to go back home for time away again (SF) and realizing i can do 2 watches. Definitely more memories added. It was a struggle last year figuring out what to bring lol but this time itll be much easier. This will be the second time no diver goes qith me ... wow.

I've been very interested in Formex product. Specs and build quality are there. How do you like yours?
Yeah, no need to bring a diver to SF unless you’re willing to brave the 50 degree F water temps. Those are good choices. Also, as a Bay Area resident, best to have quiet luxury than to let people know you’re a target.

A solid watch i want to wear. Swiss Watch Company. Has the sellita 200-1 i believe, titanium case, 41.5x10(?)x22. Comes with a nylon velcro strap thats very practical and stays in place. Magnetic and shock resistance, nothing on par with omega but does its job. I love pilot watches. Only drawback is the crown can be a mild irritation to operate. Stiff to pull out sometimes, small for my fingers but not impossible to use. Not a deal breaker imo. Im not a lume junkie but it has plenty. Easy to read and a strap monster.
Im born and raised from San Francisco. Last time i was home i brought the tsaobaltimore Nodus and Formex. Wore the formex and nodus the most. And i am use to Karl the fog lol.

If i had the funds to purchase another i would. Though not titanium its very light. Keeps very good time even though not the cosc version, love the blue lume, bracelet feels great on wrist. The straps are quality though youll have to get the clasp separately. But very easy to use when needed. Ive had it for 3 years and plan to have it for a long time from now.

I really like the Bunker. Maybe I’m vain, but I couldn’t get past the goofy name. Designed and produced in Switzerland but based and sold in the USA? Probably my own hang up but I found it weird. Yours is super sharp!
That is a nice 2 watch collection

I like the bunker too and "might" add that one day but no rush. The names really don't bug me. I proudly say hyper g is the name of this watch lol. But it has everything i need it to do and stay in the collection.

I have a 43mm Formex Essence. The watch is the definition of a GADA. Strap changes are easy as well. Just buy one, although that Christopher Ward Twelve is calling to me.

This is one I’ll have to consider. Great design (obviously derived from IWC).

Iwc pilot watches have long been among my favorite models. Even though im sure their worth the money, my wallet doesnt agree with my want lol. But this is a good watch and i figure since it can handle ny retail job its pretty darn durable and well made.
