31 years. Seiko diver that I purchased on my honeymoon.

So far it's solid. Not a "slippery" material in this strap whatsoever. Note that this is day 1 for me and the watch head is very slim and light (9F quartz 37mm).

I have my dad's version of the same watch on jubilee style bracelet. Makes me think of him and smile each time I pick it up.

commented on What are everyone's thoughts towards Quartz · 1 year ago

I have a mix of automatics and quartz. Loving the 9F in the blue dial Grand Seiko that just arrived this week. So, I am in a bit of a honeymoon phase and a little biased. That said, the near vintage (25-30 years old) watches I own are all quartz. Seikos and Tag Heuers. They all wear like tanks and keep great time.

Put one of them on and look down at it. Both are awesome. Don't go shopping for another...

Both are awesome. Go with the heart.

commented on The Seiko Seitona SSC813 is a great watch but rather expensive for what you're getting. · 1 year ago

I really like it, but it's on the pricey side. As a lower cost alternative I bought a JDM Seiko Spirit SBTR027 from Sakura. Bracelet is not great, but absolutely love everything else about it. About $160 shipped. Hardlex and non solar are small drawbacks. But mecha quartz movement is a plus.
