I’ve been saving since I was 16 (now 18) for this moment, after this summer working 2 jobs I’ll be able fortunate enough to afford and purchase one of my grail pieces. However, I’m sure this community...

I love seiko and own one and I’m planning on getting a grand seiko but personally for me I gotta go Swiss first! 😂❤️

Haha, appreciate the kind words. Tbh I’ve always overlooked the broad arrow but I think I need another trip to my Omega AD to try this on instead of just looking over it. Thanks for the input, have a great day ❤️🙏🏻

That’s what’s so hard. I’m not gonna be reselling either watch, I personally want it to be the one watch collection but at the same time (at least for me) it can’t be, if that makes sense?

I’ve had a few but really these are the top contenders. I’ve got an omega planet ocean coming when I’m 21 from my dad, currently have a vintage Tudor watch and Seiko Chrono. I know it’s a pretty big jump 😂. Yea that was my kind of reasoning for the sub, even though I’m hoping by 80 I can have a weekend trip to mars 🙏🏻

I’ll be honest you’ll get haters and will turn heads if you wear it and personally I wouldn’t wear it but hey, you have a collection and your not gonna wear it 24/7. It’s a unique piece for sure and that’s the pro of it! Go for it and wear it no matter how quirky it is, I was insecure to wear a small vintage watch at first but you wear watches for you own pleasure not anyone else’s!

Hope I don’t get to much hate but Breitling. Overall don’t get the hype of most of their popular designs but I do appreciate the history of the brand. 🙏🏻

What an achievement… I would be lying if I said I wasn’t slightly envious! Bravo, stunning piece!
