My Hamilton Khaki Field Expedition

Got the Khaki Field Expedition a couple of days ago, and I'm loving it. I like the build quality, crown action and the overall accuracy (+3s). I order...

SW 200 vs ETA 2824 - Is Sellita inferior?

I've 3 watches with SW 200 movement, including one from Oris; and 1 with ETA 2824. I feel that ETA is superior in terms of accuracy among other things...

This is bloody lovely. Wish I could import this over here. 

commented on Power Reserve Overrated? ·

I have a couple of swiss-made with 28800 bph and 21600bph. The latter with 80-hour power reserve. I like watching the seconds-sweep of the former. Both are excellent watches, but as rightly said, I really don't prioritize power reserve over movement accuracy, design aesthetics and build quality. I've a really well-built flieger with a horrendous Miyota 8315 movement - gains 12 secs everyday and doesn't really give 60-hours. 

So, I think 'selling' power-reserve is like asking someone to buy a BMW because it has an excellent 10-CD changer player with Bose speakers. 

commented on SEIKO is the only brand with UNLIMITED 'limited' edition watches. Agree? ·

"..our world would be a whole lot less interesting without them." Spot on. My only point is, if they're limited, let them be truly limited, else call them 'special' or 'commemorative' editions, etc. I'd still buy a watch if I wanted to truly get it, irrespective of whether it's limited, special or unlimited; like for example, the Seiko Cocktail time in RED! :)

Exactly, my point. Why even call these limited editions (and price them higher) when you're making thousands of copies. Just leave it at that.

This is a stunner ❤❤💯 and is within the $1500 range. Exploring others in this segment to add to my collection, soon.

Thanks for your point of view. This does make sense. I’d not wear my expensive mechanical watches, if at all I chose to wear them on my motorcycle rides. I’ll alternate between the gshock and tissot gentleman.

Sacrilege. Without reading the title, the thought that flashed in my mind when I looked at the image was this 'A new Tissot Gentleman? I like the font weight!' But no, it's a Tudor :)

SEIKO is the only brand with UNLIMITED 'limited' edition watches. Agree?

If you 'disagree', please provide the other brands that are doing this. The recent limited edition series that I've been seeing from Seiko are in the 8000, 11,000 ranges. A truly unlimited would be '5...

What type of lume do you like?

I'm fascinated with watch lumes. In fact, I bought a Laco Aachen just for the bloody glorious lume in it. However, I recently saw a Marathon with Tritium and I kinda like it for the subtlety and persi...
