    @Giles this is the one I was talking about. Granted it's insanely out of my price range — when I think of spending $8000 on something, it's usually some crazy boutique guitar or a Neumann tube microphone, but I do look at this watch and think of it as a someday goal. I love the Submariner, but there are so many aspects of Rolex that give me pause. This one has that same sort of simple / classic / timeless style to me.

      I would take a look at the Glashütte SeaQ and the SeaQ Panorama Date too......

          @Giles those are right up my alley, maybe moreso than the GS. LOVE the numbers.

            @popvulture do you play in a band, or just a guitar playing aficionado?

              @Mizmazzle I played in bands for years but it got a bit harder to wrangle people once we passed 30. After 40 even worse, so now I’m working on some solo stuff. Trying to get up the nerve to play solo acoustic shows — I didn’t mind being the singer in a band but somehow doing it up there alone is scary as hell! How bout you?

                @popvulture I used to play/sing in a band in my early twenties. It fell apart. Damn it was so fun though. Later a friend of mine and I started writing songs and she sang and I played guitar. We’d throw parties and play for friends. Nothing crazy. But that same rush of performing songs we made was super fun. Haven’t played for some time though.

                You should just go for it man!! Scary things feel so good afterwards!!

                        Another inexpensive, yet (IMO) nice-looking watch, also with sapphire crystal. Like the simple design and wear it with varying nato straps.

                          Second modded Seiko, which received as a Christmas present. Want to get a rubber strap for it. If anyone has any recommendations, I would be most grateful!

                            @tody the Ahoi was intended to be Nomos's sport or swimming watch, hence it's got a 200-metre depth rating. Monochrome has an article from 2013 on its initial release.

                            These days it's available in a 36-mm case, which shouldn't be too big for your wrist. I think that I prefer the Club Sport Neomatik, which is a shade bigger at 37 mm, but I'd need to try both on to decide.

                              @popvulture I agree with @Giles about the Glashütte Original SeaQ range. They start at about the same price as a Submariner but are much finer pieces of watchmaking. I took a look at them when they first came out and I thought that the finishing was better than the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms I compared them with.

                              I'd probably throw the basic Senator Excellence in as another suggestion, if you want something that isn't a dive watch.

                                My dad got this for me, never had a “smart” watch. Unfortunately I can’t wear it to work for security reasons since it has a built in mic. But pretty neato.

                                    Grew up reading Clive Cussler and always wanted a Doxa. This Nodus ticked that box. Should be here soon.

                                      I sold the two Steeldive watches (SD1953 and SD1975) just to get myself another homage watch without provoking the wrath of my wife to mutch.

                                      The following is a San Martin SN0121T-GA. It is a 39mm homage of the Tudor Pelagos made out of grade 2 titanium with a sapphire crystal and an Seiko NH35 movement. It also has a 6 Position Quick adjust for the bracelet and offers a very good value / money ratio.

                                      In one point it is, in my opinion, even superior to the Tudor Pelagos, because San Martin does not print the complete Harry Potter epic on it's dial.
