Watches - another OCD problem

@Chris:

Orange.

Hardlex is Seiko's proprietary version of mineral crystal.  It's supposedly a bit harder, but I don't have any personal experience with it.

IME Hardlex is a (little) bit more resilient than generic mineral.

Orange it is. Cheers lads.

It'll go great with me avatar…

And ordered… My brother's paying me 100 € for the Weil as well, so this is a cheap purchase

Post pics when you got them.

I like the look of the orange so much I ordered this today.

Might consider getting a maratac strap or leather strap later on.

Thanks Chris. This was helpful. I'm used to sapphire so I hope I don't crack this fucker within a week…

I think I've seen this one mentioned in here before but fairly cheap. I like a lot though

I wore my Riki auto yesterday. Simple, accurate, and keeps my attention as well as any of my watches. And btw, thanks a lot Ben now I think I'm going to sell my PAM 380 to get that Grand Seiko….

Well, even if you do, one of the nice things about Seiko is that parts are generally dirt cheap, and virtually any watch seller/repair shop can swap out a crystal in no time.

In fact, you could probably find someone who will put a sapphire crystal it for you.  They're not that expensive, really.

Bam - that's something I didn't think of!.. I'll ask my local store!..

No 25 will be with me on Tuesday….

Damn G - that's a fine looking watch right there… I forgot to look at the one you were wearing when you were here... Didn't wanna bother you... Next time just take it of at the loo and forget putting it back on will ya?..

I've never liked square/rectangular watches, but the Reverso is the exception to that rule.  Beautiful, classic watch.

Nice details of watch manufacturing;

Giles, very interesting watch. Looks smaller on you than I expected. Really unique and detailed looking face. How's it lume? (in a few days, obviously)
