    Polywatch

    good stuff @Matt, tested it today on an old Citizen with a terrible scratch, almost not visible anymore afterwards

          @endo not sure what's available in your area but long ago I had a watchmaker replace a hardlex crystal with a sapphire one for 90$us. Depending on how much you like the watch it could be worth it. I may have gotten lucky since many people wanted this done on this particular watch so there was a couple of people who did this at the time.

          I dig that black and blue citizen though.

                      Great thread! Before I read all 7000 posts I would like to share my little collection. Nothing fancy. I was once saving up for a Speedy but did not see the point in the end... Maybe one day.

                      The Hamilton has recently been sold and there are a couple of casios also...

                        Nodus arrived this week. Really impressed.
                        Ordered an orange camo band for it a month ago.
                        Band arrived first. Put it on my old daily for the last 20+ years.
                        Now I have combo options as both are 20mm lug to lug.

                          Seiko Willard for the win. 🙂 I like that colorway, but would be dead if I buy another Willard anytime soon.

                            @Cole yeah!! It is my favourite watch for sure. But the movement had to be replaced already. I was lucky that I still had warranty.

                              Went from Forerunner 965 to Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar, mostly because I needed the battery life for ultramarathons.
                              Thought it would be hard to go back to Mips screen after Amoled but actually feeling like I prefer this. It's big but comfortable on, and so far I'm enjoying it. Broke it in with a weekend of muddy back to back trail runs totalling 50k.

                                      This 1960s Enicar Sherpa Date is a watch I do not wear too often anymore but I still love the beautiful simple and reduced design.

                                        This watch is probably quite well known - a Seiko SKX009 with the modest but persistent 7S26 movement. I think it's hard to argue with the design and build quality of the former 200$ watch.
