Watches - another OCD problem

[Chiba J.]

^^ The SBDX001 is an awesome watch, and it's the one I've been referring to as the MM300. For some reason it doesn't have an affectionate nickname like seiko's other divers, but it seems that the most common appellation is MM300. I'm trying to decide between that and the tuna. Actually my plan was to get the tuna first and the MM300 later, but now I'm very tempted to go for the new limited edition version of the MM300, the SBDX012, which will be produced in a limited edition run of 1000 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Seiko diver. It is pretty much the same as the standard MM300, but has gold details and highly scratch resistant diashield coating.

Oh i like this @Chiba J. and at that price point def worth considering an automatic, nothing against quartz though. what do you think?

[Chiba J.]

Hey D, I'd like to have both I think the SBDX012 and the SBBN017 would make a great pair. The former, with the gold accents, is a fairly dressy automatic and the latter is a rough and tough quartz tool watch.

Wow nice good choices to go for certainly

Switched to the oem woven nato, really cool look and feel. Quality strap

[Qinhan]

Looks great D and I bet it is super comfortable.

[Chiba J.]

Really like that strap.

There's a video of how Tudor make their fabric straps.

And a review of the Black Bay, which I stumbled across whilst trying to find the above.

I (finally) decided to go with this cheap workhorse…

For 155 €, you get:

• a Japan made watch
• with a sapphire dial
• and a titanium bracelet
• Japanese quartz mvt that runs on light (no battery needed!)
• 5 year warranty

I dare you to find better value for money… Granted: you might find a less dull looking watch for the money but I'll be saving for a nice dress watch anyhow...

[Snowy]

Sounds like you've done your research well Seul. Am sure the beater will least till you've got you dress watch. What dress watch you looking @?

[Chiba J.]

Very nice. Got a model number?

The Japan made Citizen and Seikos always punch high for the price. Sometimes they look dull in pics, but on the wrist you can pick up all of the subtleties that only natural light can define. The Citizen Chronomaster looks like something from JC Penny… Until you see it in person! Mind blowingly beautiful. So nicely done Seul! As for a higher end dress watch, go for a Nomos!

These are the specs: http://www.nywatchstore.com/aw124057l.html

As for dress watch: first Seiko SARB065, in the long run I want an Omega Aqua Terra, blue dial, 41.5mm…

Good taste Mr Seul. I almost forgot to post the watch my wife bought me for Christmas. It is a Nomos New York Sundial. You set the date on the outer ring and allow the sun to shine on the aperture which projects onto the inner ring which shows the time. Be it a little unconventional but pretty neat!

Interesting, how accurate is it?  Nomos always does cool stuff.
