The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

@neph93:

So she doesn’t know about the first watch yet [emoji1783]

It's always good to have a choice. Assuming you survive the inevitable moment when you have to come clean, I'm sure you will enjoy both.

@sabergirl:

Both are very nice! I’d like to see Ingrid’s choice on the pinion strap.

I wpuld too, but unfortunately the lugs on the land Turtle are 18mm and the strap is 20mm.

Thanks folks! I’m happy to have gotten into the game.

@Graeme:

And I'm sure that the Hamilton Field Watch is coming eventually.

Kind of unsure now… You may have all noticed that I tend to find a brand and develop an unhealthy, devoted relationship with it [emoji38] I may end up a Seiko Boi for life now.

@neph93 there's Grand Seiko and Credit, plus Seiko's Micro Artist Studio for you to investigate. But these belong in the Even More Intimidating Watch Thread!

In the long run, the Hamilton might have proven cheaper…

Got my first Sinn today and I’m very happy! This watch packs a punch. So many great features in a modest, understated package. This is the 556i on the H-link bracelet.

Sinn makes a goddamn wonderful watch, @seawolf  A college bud of mine purchased a version of the 556 (the 556a maybe?). Clean af!

Thank you! This is my one-watch collection. This watch can do it all The 556A is absolutely gorgeous. I’ve had tons of watches over the years, but this is my first serious watch and I’m elated.

Honestly I'd say that's a true "one and done" watch. Congrats.

[seawolf]

Thanks! I'm very pleased. It hasn't stopped me from looking at other watches, but I know this one will be with me for the long haul

I've been looking at the 556 with MOP dials. Those are nice watches.

[seawolf]

The MOP is gorgeous! And best of all, pretty widely available If you search YouTube for reviews of the 556, they're consistently rave reviews with very little negative to say. The 556i is sold out here in the States, but I was able to find one on eBay that was purchased new in July, so it's still under the two year factory warranty.

Here's a great review, if anyone is interested:

Ahh such Teutonic glory–good choice Z!

[seawolf]

Thanks @mclaincausey ! And for reference, this 38.5mm watch is on a 7.25” (185mm) wrist. It wears quite well for its small case size.

The Sinn Finanzplatzuhr is great. I walk around it since years. Sinn has beautiful watches.

[seawolf]

That is such a gorgeous watch!

The Divers 65 that I have been alternating with my Nomos Tangente!

It's a marvel. I love this watch!

I do, but surprisingly I don't have one at the moment.

[mention]the246guy [/mention] I love that watch! In fact I found a Momotaro collabo at a mall in Nashville and almost took it home with me. Nice looks and a great size, it was very tempting!
