Sometimes the old ways are the best ways

I usually don't care about the accuracy of my mechanical watches- I have my radio controlled Casio Oceanus for accuracy on my wrist and my smartphone...

Glorious Seikomatic

Last year I took a break from watch forums and media. However in the last couple of months I got the itch to try a vintage piece! This 1961 Seikomatic...

Lose the Rolex Derangement Syndrome and you'll see how stupid a game it is

Man you really maxed out your lines of credit AND emptied your savings for watches? I know we are all hobbyists here but that's really reckless.

Oh really, the white dial GMT I posted?? Might be my next watch 👀

Nice find, looks great! I've always liked the Conquest VHP line and would love to have the GMT, however 43mm is too big for me- hoping they re-release the line in smaller sizes like they have with the Spirit lineup

Lots of people saying Seiko but it has to be Casio really! Their product lines span such a large range of quality and use case that it's hard to find a more versatile brand:

  • The vintage line is highly fashionable and cheap enough for everyday wear without a care

  • G-shocks are the ultimate sports watch with many sub product lines and dozens of different features

  • Edifice are great looking and really well priced for all of the features packed into them

  • Oceanus line watches are excellent quality with some attributes such as AR coatings putting a lot of Swiss luxury watches to shame

I will never tire of 'is XYZ city safe?' posts from the privileged & perpetually terrified😂 if you're the type of person to flex online with a Patek & Porsche steering wheel shot you'll be going to the higher security flashy districts in the first place 🤣

commented on Has anyone in public ever complimented your watch? ·

A few of mine have received compliments, although this has just been over the last 6 months out of a few years collecting!

  • Maurice Lacroix Aikon - got talking to a lawyer at a party big into his Rolexes who loved the look of my humble Aikon

  • 1961 Seikomatic dress watch - client representative at work quite liked it, although he was wearing a vintage Seamaster from a similar era so probably another one of us!

  • Orient Kamasu (green dial) - friend's boyfriend liked mine so much he got into watches 😂

  • Casio A700WEMG-9AEF - had a couple of people in public compliment it reminisce over identical ones they owned as kids

What would you consider to be the most 'special' or iconic watch under 3k?

Thoughts? To me it would be the Cartier Tank. Timeless design worn by greats including Muhammad Ali, Princess Diana, JFK and many more, plus one of th...
