Watches - another OCD problem

[Chris]

You'll get used to it surprisingly quickly.  My usual watch is a manual wind, and it's just part of the routine to wind it before putting it on in the morning.  I think I've only forgotten to wind it once.

I'm ambivalent in how much sympathy to feel for you, Giles.  Yes, it sucks to break the Patek, but a JLC is one hell of a backup.  I think I could live with that one as a daily wearer.

I am going though a stage where so many things I want is coming my way and I can't possibly afford them all. Can anyone relate?

Here is one

I like that a lot Monday. Beautiful in it's simplicity. Care to share some more info?

[madmonday]

here is the link to the watch, & they have  a few of them.  i just wanted a blue faced watch that wasn't too expensive & i wouldn't mind if i destroyed it (which i tend to do)

it's really nice & a hell of a bang for the buck.  i'll try to take a few more pictures tonight.  really thinking about getting a beige face as well so i can switch them out.  got a cheapo deployment deployant buckle & a few other straps to switch out to keep me entertained  for a little bit 

corrected per G$

+1…

great watch and finally a new one for me!

[orlylow]

any recommendations for a watch in the range of 200-300? (preferably not seiko though…)

old watch strap looking like shit now, need an excuse for a new watch and not a strap... 

[Giles]

I'd go for one of these (well I did and loved it).  Yeah, I know it really is a Seiko, but you can pretend it isn't…..

Tthe Orient Mako is an astonishingly good watch for the price.
