Canadian watch collector since my teens. Favourite brands: Omega, Longines, Tudor, Hamilton, Seiko, Bulova, Citizen. On my radar: Tissot, Mido, Sinn, Zelos
Some beautiful Grand Seiko possibilities here. Out of the two you listed, I would pick the Longines Zulu Time. Beautiful watch with some nice colour options. It is not a boring watch and will complement your current collection. I recommend the anthracite dial with green bezel. It is fairly unique and the gilt just pops on that dial. Alternatively, the blue is just gorgeous. I love seeing it out in the sunlight, just lovely shine on it. Well finished watches for a great value.
My primary GADA watch right now is the Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 with a blue dial. It's boring and somewhat plain but is reasonably sized, fairly accurate, comfortable, great movement for the price. It just works without a high cost. Still have my other watches for fun or when I want something bolder.
commented onPick 3! Which 3 would you take on a trip?·
Seiko Alpinist - Beautiful green dial with gold gilt.
Seiko Samurai - I always like blue dive watches.
Casio
For travel (I don't very often since its not required for work)
Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 - for everyday and work events.
Longines Hydroconquest blue & gold - dive watch for non-work, weekend and social activities.
Seiko 5 SRPD - Green or blue one as a beater, exercise or when I know activities could result in watch getting bumped or knocked around. Low in cost to where it can be replaced without issue. Casio g-shock is the potential alternative, but I do not have one yet and focused on the higher end for now.
commented onIs the detail, design and appearance of case back important?·
I completely agree for that level of watch. It does not have to be an exhibition caseback. Put something there (i.e. logo, text of the movement, chromometer, limited edition etc.).
