        they aren't that expensive considering the legend of rolex & what you are supposed to be getting for your money.

        haven't taken the plunge yet, but here's my current love:

                    A  Seiko SNN233 , I was originally pining for another Seiko 5, but they weren't available on amazon, and I had a gift-card on amazon, so.. 🙂 Got a black zulu strap on it now, looks great!

                        I'm a big fan of the Seiko 5 watches, although the glass isn't the best. Still here's my newest (about 6 months):

                        And my oldest (about 25 years):

                        And I've just paid the pre-order deposit on this, which I'm very excited about:

                              Cheers Seul, it was the first 'proper' watch I owned (I was about 14). It's on the latest of a series of new straps, and still keeps really, really, good time. It's never been serviced either. I'm currently trying to find someone who can replace the hardex face with sapphire crystal, after which I think it will live forever!

                              You might find this article interesting:

                                I've only really just been reading up on the Dagaz watches over the past month, and I've been really impressed over all with what they're doing. Plus, I can't really afford a Rolex or Omega at the moment, and this looks more fun than the SK007. When the pre-order update hit their site last week I weakened. He's only doing 50 though, this time around, so I thought it was worth it. Bad news is, it won't be ready until about May 2012!

                                    I know! That article's why I went and got the new leather strap for my old one. It's not Alligator or anything, it's a Hirsch Duke I think, but it's very good.

                                    I tracked the watch in their article down here:

                                    http://www.chronograph.com/store/mli_viewItem.asp?idproduct=1111

                                    No affiliation to any of these sites or brands by the way, although I have bought from Chronograph and their service is excellent.

                                      Hehe I went with a Hirsch to replace my 'original' R. Weil bracelet as well… 39 € instead of 129... And the salesman says Weil uses Hirsch bands and just stamps them...  😢

                                          Been lusting after a simpler watch for a while now, so I just ordered this:

                                          Not sure if I can pull off a 37 mm watch (especially when I'm usually wearing my 46/17mm Benarus Sea Devil hockey puck) but I wanted something more understated for a change. And if it does work for me I'll probably upgrade to this

                                          Japan Domestic market only with a nicer movement than the 7s26 in the 5:s and sapphire crystal. Not too much money that either but not worth risking if the size is too small after all.

                                          So I'll give it a go and if I don't like it it's only cost me 88 € and I have a dress watch.. Not crazy about the hands on the 5 or the day/date (prefer date only) but they're not that bad. And for the price you can't complain. I've had a Seiko diver with the 7s26 movement and it was really dependable even though not the most accurate but I'm not that picky on accuracy if it's within say +/-30 seconds per day for a budget automatic watch.

                                          If I had the $$ I'd get a Rolex Datejust II (42 mm) but then again if I had that kinda money the Explorer II might be a stronger contender…

                                          AIAN HA-TO!

                                            Hi Jii - The first looks like a good solid watch and I love the second one - very classy! I alternate between big and small watches all the time. I always think the small watches are going to look/feel to small after wearing a divers watch or something similar, but I actually find them very comfortable and a nice change - especially with smart/dress shirts!

                                            M.
