Re: MARINE NATIONALE DIVERS WATCH STRAPS € 45,00

I think Jason Heaton is into these right now. Cool idea but I'll stick to Toxic, too.

No cock ring? Terry's out, then.

Oh God, I think I f--ked up...

I had a minor service performed at Tourney Costa Mesa today. While waiting for my watch, I made the mistake of looking at the newly-stocked line of Nomos watches. Now, I'd seen them casually in the metal at the huge duty-free in Munich, and I was impressed. But today I tried on the Ahoi, the Club, e...

Re: Scratching that Seiko itch... part tva.

My Instagram feed handle is mattjmcd_gmt. My -775 is all over that. I like mine a lot. It's been unusually accurate for an unregulated watch... mine runs about 5sec fast per day on the wrist. IMO it's an enormous step up from an SKX, for not a lot of money. I think at this point, if you like Seiko, ...

Re: SRP77x Poll

I love mine so far. Better bracelet vs SKX. Wears well for a 44-45mm watch, more like 42mm on my wrist. Mine is actually pretty accurate, too.

Re: SRP77x Poll

And I will have all four versions at some point. Best damn seiko around. My original early 80s 6309 has never been serviced, and keeps great time, and starts up with a simple shake as it did day 1. Mine did too, but I wouldn't take it in the ocean. I took every one of the ones I owned into the wate...

SRP777 or -775 seem hot right now. But I agree with the "buy an SKX" suggestion.

I've owned most all mentioned here... 116600 or 216570 black. Might as well wait for Basel to see what pops-up. Lol! The Basel angle HAS been on my mind.

Zing!!!

As to seeing them all... yes, I have, but not all together in one viewing. I'm sure that'd be helpful. I've worn the Sub, but not the others. I have a dinky 6.5" wrist. Maybe a tiny bit larger, but small in any case.
