I was hoping for a meteorite dial with gold hands and indinces 😅it still looks great though!

Local luxury jewelers and small online businesses are the best imo.

Tough call! I guess go with your wardrobe? If you’re rocking outdoorsy clothes or swim regularly, get the Seiko. Otherwise, I think the orient will suit daily life better.

Orient is very competitive coming in under $250 (and older models will be under 200). Citizen would be my number 2, and Seiko is third mostly because of their slowly diminishing presence under $500. They have a couple models, but newer versions are appearing at around $500-$700 ☹️

9.5/10! I think everything is great, but I’d actually drop the nomos instead of the brew.

Great purchase! Mido really hit it out of the park with the ocean star tribute in blue 🔥

Mine was also noisy. Made me consider picking up the quartz version in the future.
