Cheap, small, Chinese traveller

I know, I know - Chinese homage quartz… Hear me out! Lately I started to wear a lot of “military” colors - dark green, brown, etc. Also, I prefer to t...

Your opinion about the seconde/seconde collaborations?

In general, I really like seconde/seconde and his fun and unorthodox approach to design. The issue, for me, is that since becoming more recognizable e...

Yema Urban Traveller - strap options?

Hey everyone, I recently got gifted the watch by my wonderful wife and I love it. For me, the design is more appealing than PRX or The Twelve. The bra...

Pretty standard stuff - 1 during the workdays, often 2 on the weekends.

The maximum for me is 3 - G-shock for some chores in the morning, a daily for coffee/brunch, and something dressy for dinner. This happens very rarely.

$70 for an impulse buy is pretty sweet 🤣But to avoid hoarding I have a rule - I only allow myself to get one “not so special” watch a year.

Around October each year I’m teaching a marketing course and after every season I use part of the money to get a watch to commemorate it. Sometimes it’s a Timex, sometimes it’s something more expensive depending on my other priorities. For next season I’m planning on getting a Nezumi GMT like yours but on a rubber.

Combined with my birthday (when my wife and friends may get me a watch) or other special occasions, the limit per year is around three watches. Which is not that bad 🤣

I totally agree. From what I saw the San Martin is better overall and I was torn between the two options. The Addiesdive is smaller which give it a retro vibe that I like and my wrist is tiny so it works.

I’m not from the US so I’m not sure if this will work for you:

After your comment I won’t go to sleep dumb 🤣

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, I compare it to a Seiko 5 that I own and the overall quality isn’t that much different.

Seiko deserves every dollar that they are getting since their movements are fueling so many micro brands, but the built quality can be better in my opinion.

I believe that it’s a homage to Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36 126000. It has the same size - 36 mm - and big lugs, so if you squint and look from a distance… 🤣
