OldSnafu commented on Seiko Prospex Alpinist SPB121/ SPB209 VS Hamilton Khaki Field Murph 38 ·

There is a better chance the Hamilton will be more accurate out of the box. It has a solid movement and is steeped in history. The Seiko is just an improved Seiko 5.

They make a far smaller around 39mm gmt with that same movement also. That thing is a dinner plate with hands.....wow  At the very least its a conversation piece.

Fine looking watch. Probably never see those in the North American market.

OldSnafu commented on Love these world time Casios ·

Hard to beat that one. Its an F91 on steroids.

OldSnafu commented on How durable is a mechanical watch? ·

A watch can survive a lot but longevity could be shortened because of it. The balance would be the weakest point even though it has shock settings. You can not argue with physics or gravity.
