I almost feel bad for Trafford, the match-up is really tough. I personally voted SU because of their designs.

I admit I didn't know Makina but their designs are more interesting IMHO.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with anything over 500 $ for actual diving. I went with a Seiko Prospex and I think it's brilliant as a "tool" watch, while also being still good value for money and nothing too expensive that if for some reason you scratch it you'd be too annoyed. Just my two cents!

I was tempted, I also set a timer but I couldn't decide between watermelon and desert sky plus honestly I think the price is a bit steep for a "fun" piece.

Classic Seagull!

Extremely happy with my Laco Aachen. Ticks a lot of boxes without breaking the bank!

Perfect gift and great for traveling!
