Whoa! They implement the small seconds perfectly. I prefer it to be located as far from the center stack as possible, and this goes right to the edge. The hand’s and indices are so precise, I love it.
I remember the satanic panic in the 80’s. The taboo nature pulls me toward buying one. I’m not a frivolous buyer these days sadly.
The indices are really cool. The unfinished applied logo is a choice. The whole bottom text is perfect. The word choice, the font. The 666 text is impossible to improve. It’s so retro cool. I’m a sucker for crosshairs for the same reason. It’s a cool watch, for sure.
If I saw someone wearing one I would assume they are probably just really into watches and/or into the mid-century aesthetic.
I like the bezel implementation on the Galbee. I prefer it be self contained rather than a design element that leads into the bracelet.
You could bite the big one before needing a major service. If you like the design, thinness, date, but fear the eventual out of pocket cost down the road, you could compromise and get the Santos. You might learn to love it.
Personally, I’d get the Galbee and put aside $20 for the inevitable service. If it’s the better watch, it’s the one I’d want to spend time with. I’d do what I could to soften the blow for future me and hopefully the handful of $20’s would help him understand.
I live in a hot and humid environment so I was looking for something breathable and waterproof. Perlon offers both in addition to it being infinitely adjustable. The only downside I can think of is that they can be thin, so a heavy watch head might feel disproportionate. Thicker perlon is available meant for sport watches fortunately.
