The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

Pretty sure it is. Def a cool little number.

Yep, that's the one.
The originals (there were a couple of regular three handers in addition to the surfboard chrono) were rated to a depth of 666 feet, so they were also called Devil Divers. I think Bulova missed out by not doing the same with the reissue and putting the 666 on the dial.

Have been a mechanical watch admirer / collector for quite some time! The NOMOS Tangente is my every day wear both in formal & casual setting!
-
Thanks @ijpx
Not too bad of a price point…. i think. Not positive of course since i can’t read the description. -
Cool thanks. Any chance you have first hand experience?
I think the worn and wound review suggests niceto look at but funtionally perhaps a little over priced. -
My new 40mm Hamilton field Khaki arrived today. Got 20% off RRP from an authorised online dealer. Colour and placement of the date window aren't for everyone. I'm swapping the strap out for a Tanner Goods pass through strap, ordered today at another super discount.
-
@Giles if you look closely, the date window slightly pushes the 3 numeral out of line with the rest of the numerals. Some watches completely remove the numeral altogether, some align it.
Lots of reviewers aren't a fan of the placement, it doesn't worry me too much as there are more positives to negatives to this watch imo.

Here the date window where it not should be, but I am very very pleased with that stunning watch:
Seiko sbex003
Dramatically over dimensioned but unexpected comfortable
Runs +5sec per day but completely independent of position… -
@Eisenherz that is a solid looking watch. Beautiful.
I swapped out my standard Hamilton nubuck strap for a Tanner Goods single pass through. I think it looks very much better. Really happy with it.
-
Thanks @Stuart.T . You Hamilton is a very classical watch. With an quite robust ETA movement.
Nice!

Nice watches gentlemen. My wife gave me a Hamilton Khaki manual as a wedding gift almost 16 years ago and it still runs like a champ. I hadnt worn it in a while but broke it out this past week. Still keeping good time too.
I’ll always have a soft spot for a MarineMaster. I owned the non-hibeat and it was a tremendous daily wearer. I still miss it. About. 5 years ago I was at a jeweler in WV and they had a used model for ~$900. Had we not bought a car the week before I would have nabbed it.

When my Hamilton Khaki failed it was the main spring. Pretty cheap repair.
-
Before the high beat I owned the spring drive
That is a spectacular watch ultra accurate but you do not hear it working only the flywheel while moving. So I decided to buy the high beat. But these are all limited versions. Soon it will come an 80 hours power reserve high beat Grand Seiko, but also limited and expensive… -
