Watches - another OCD problem

[emceeQ]

Grabbed one of my Grandfather's old watches while I was home this weekend

Been thinking about grabbing one of these for a while, and BAM it was there in the midst of his other watches.  Really liking it…

Really nice Mike, I haven't worn a watch for almost a year now but I keep staring at pictures of the Seiko Monster still….maybe soon  :-\

what seiko is that Mike? looks awesome…not too mu, just perfect!

My guess is a 007?

I'm debating (myself) buying one. I really like the rugged look, but I'm also considering getting a modded one with a different dial. Great watch all over if we are to belive the thousands of positive reviews

It's a beautiful and reliable watch there mike. Highly rated by the
WUS community…

Here's the newest rendition of it.. Sort of

@Lucifer:

That is correct.

All the guys I used to dive with swore by these watches, supposed to be super reliable.  I'm very happy I found this one…

really great these Seikos, looks nice and love this jubilee style bracelet Mike

I always liked the Seiko Divers.  I have one, but funny enough, as I am a trained watch maker, I stopped wearing watches.  Not practicing watch repair anymore, and I never got back into the habit of wearing one.  The only issue, if you even can call it that, is that those 7S26 Seiko movements cannot be wound by hand.  Its strictly automatic.  So if you are at a computer all day, you will likely need a winder to keep it running.  Otherwise, that Seiko is probably one of the best "desert Island" watches out there

Love those Grand Seikos. I have a SBGX-005 but it doesn't get much wrist time. I guess I didn't realize how similar it was to my Citizen Chronomaster before I bought it. The case is really beautiful though, probably one of the nicer ones I've owned. Off the GS track, I'm VERY excited to have this Brightz coming in next week:

Check out the R2D2….I like the Vader and Trooper too but R2 is just my style.

Trooper FTW.

Nice link, thanks for sharing.

Two things: it said the "baddies" get black ion plating.  Why is the C3PO black?  Second, the Storm Trooper is the coolest, but that's a steep price hike over a comparable Seiko.  Not sure it's that cool.

EDIT: I take that back about the price.  It's actually not bad.  I was getting my movements confused.

If you want a robot watch then forget the C3P0 and R2D2 nonsense…

The BMF had been on my list until seeing it in person. It is gigantic. Badass but gigantic. Here is my pick of the day.

[Seul]

Mmmmmmm

Citizen's answer to Grand Seiko…... THE Citizen. Only ws off 1.5 seconds last year.

[Jii]

LOVE both the Explorer and the Citizen! Sometimes I wish I had a bit smaller wrists so I would be comfortable with sub-40 mm watches….
