      @Graeme yeah the dress up think bothers me about wearing a double rider jacket since I don’t ride but with watches for some reason it doesn’t. Probably because desk divers are much more common than actual divers sporting diver watches.

      Think it, be it.

            For me: that

            Especially if they’re both Spring Drive

              THAT is manual wind.

              They are effectively the same price in Japan.....

                That as well and I've looked at it numerous times. Simple and elegant.

                      Omiwatari for the win 🙂

                      Ranking them would be 1) Omiwatari 2) 37 mm 3) 40mm

                          The latter for me. I like the case size, the feel of a GS manual winder, and the dial is lovely. I still regret not getting the pink dialed version similar to this watch ON SALE in St Maarten. I dont let my wife forget about it either 😂

                            The thing that kills the first one is the reserve indicator. I can’t see it belonging on a dress watch.

                              The spring drive, blue hand and dial of the Omiwatari are what make it the winner in my eyes. No date, no power reserve and a hand that is smooth as can be!

                              “This” has my favorite case shape. But I’m sure the Omiwatari also has beautiful lines and polishing when seen in person.

                              And the bracelet on the Omiwatari is nice. I’m a bracelet guy though.

                                      The 3rd one for sure. Spring drive and a clean elegant dial in a 38.5mm timeless case size. No brainer

                                        THAT: I have one of those small manual wound GS, and I love it to bits. It's fun to wind every morning, it's beautiful and clean, with no text or subdials, and you can wear it up or down. As a side note, GS sells a super fancy bead of rice bracelet that fits them beautifully. That one has a nice dial too.

                                        I had a spring drive; it did nothing for me. I realize it is a very innovative movement, but it's just not that interesting to me (although the dial of that 3rd GS is lovely).

                                        Edit: that's the bead of rice bracelet (on yet another version of the 37mm manual watch). It can be hard to find at times, and it's not cheap.

                                          I like the 37 mm manual wind best, closely followed by the 38.5 mm Spring Drive.

                                          But I'd want to try both on to see how they sit on the wrist. You might feel, for example, that the 40 mm sits better than the others, or the 38.5 mm is much prettier in the metal.

                                            I'm currently tempted by the 37mm.
