The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[pechelman]

@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.

Glad it worked out!

Smells like fish and keeps shit time but I’ll be damned if this isn’t my favorite…

[endo]

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.

@Nik bloody hell, you could eat your dinner off that!

My Brown metal Casioak, great watch for £100!

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.

[RobeOfTheMagi]

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.

@RobeOfTheMagi classic!

[RobeOfTheMagi]

Good old times when they could be had for 150-200$ new :).

@RobeOfTheMagi Love these Casioaks! Such amazing value
