Re: Tissot’s new Seastar Wilson WNBA Powermatic 80
On the plus side, it costs only about 15% the cost of the NBA version.

Re: 4-20: Spicoli has a new watch
I was in Chicago this week for work and was amazed at the amount of pot being smoked openly in the street.
This isn't something I'm used to seeing where I'm from.
My internal jury is still out whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. I guess time will tell.

Re: 39mm Doxa...huh?
I agree. As someone with fairly slim wrists, I think the 300T wears fine. It is a diving watch. If I wanted to wear a dress watch, I would. I find it more interesting that Doxa chose to expand their model line-up "downmarket", adding a model between the Sub 200 and the Sub 300T. I suspect this model...

Re: Any fisherman out there?
this popped up for me today and it seems appropriate on this thread. Screenshot 2024-04-01 121252.png I’ve heard of that before, especially with the tuna fishermen around me. They use the drone for spotting fish. Tuna will swim near the surface and can be seen using spotting planes, and now drones....

Re: Doxa now at Topper.
Not to keep bumping a thread that some random person necro-bumped, but it is interesting that Topper is adding an extra year of warranty to the watch. I know Doxa is stingy with selling parts, so my guess is a warranty repair sent to Topper in year 3 would likely have to be sent back to Doxa for pai...

Re: Fifty Fathoms now in 42mm
I’ve always thought this watch looked best on a strap, so the lack of a bracelet isn’t a big deal to me.
This price means owning one is just one winning lottery ticket away for me.

Striper fisherman here. I’ve been fishing off the coast of Cape Cod MA and southern New Hampshire pretty much all my life.

Re: New Mido Ocean Star GMT Special Edition
Nearly perfect.
I just don’t understand why the 24 hour bezel and the 24 hour scale on the chapter ring. I would much rather have the chapter ring 24 hour scale and a divers timing bezel.

I’ve seen some interesting use cases for mixed reality headsets (VR + real world), but they were all industrial or task-based in nature. For example, using these types of googles to help someone accomplish a complex task. I’m not really seeing the home-use benefit of these right now, and especially ...

Re: A New MKII/Tornek-Rayville Offering
I like my Stingray Keroman with the acrylic bezel and domed sapphire crystal. It has a vintage feel, without the worry of an actual vintage watch.
That said, it scratched my Mk II itch. For the same $1K price point, I think my new Certina DS PH1000 is a better value. As always YMMV.

Re: Which Seiko should I keep in my collection
I agree with keeping the SKX007. You could a nice bracelet from Uncle Seiko and have a classy looking dive watch. Alternatively, SKX007 prices have been going crazy, so you could potentially make the most by selling the SKX. If you need to raise funds, the SKX is probably the best one to put on the ...

Re: Interesting read
I agree HRV’s are a gimmick to 99% of watch owners, but at least it is a gimmick with some theoretical potential use as opposed to the Omega rocket. I don’t mind having an HRV on an established watch brand’s design (such as Doxa or Certina). I am a bit hesitant when I see an HRV on a low cost micro ...

Re: Arnold busted for not paying watch taxes
FWIW, when researching a bit more about what happened to Arnold, I found this old article from Fratello: https://www.fratellowatches.com/beware- ... ches/#gref
Lesson learned for me: when traveling internationally, bring only 1 watch. I'll save my watch roll for local GTG's.

Re: Arnold busted for not paying watch taxes
This is a situation I really don’t understand. As I read the article, it sounds like Arnold brought a watch he already owned to Germany (where he would eventually donate the watch to an Austrian charity auction). I’m trying to understand the tax implications to Germany on this. If I (a US citizen) w...

Re: Price Check?
I got my 300T brand new from Joma for $1,414.
I figure used, but relatively new and mint condition, around that price is reasonable (otherwise just buy from Joma at their next sale).
On edit, I just noticed this was the LE. That will probably command a premium.
