Let’s Talk Watches

[43.6N]

I saw a Sangin Professional with the polar white dial on my buddies wrist yesterday.

For a quartz GMT, it looked pretty trick. I didn’t know much an about the brand, but after talking to him about it, I would absolutely consider getting one the next time they’re available.

Not many watches have truly impressed me and justify their price in my mind.. until I saw this one in Manila

I flipped mine when the prices were high a couple years ago. I won’t ever have a watch as nice, but it wasn’t my thing. Still couldn’t pass the opportunity to buy one at retail from the ad, and now retail prices are even higher on them.

What about Longines? I've been eyeing a Hydroconquest...

Great diver at price point.

At the price point I am partial to this one. I would source a slightly used one.

I'm planning on trying out one of the grand seiko spring drive movements. The completely smooth sweep and resistance to magnetism are drawing me in. This one is +-20 secs per year.

I’ve had a couple. Really like them and movement is second to none.

They blow most autos outta the water when it comes to accuracy and their finishing is phenomenal! You will be very pleased with a grand seiko if it fits your style.

Very new and green to the whole watch thing I’ve wore a Garmin instinct for a few years but started seeing videos online of watches and kinda got the bug.

Dug out an old citizen my wife got me clear back when we were engaged 27 years ago that’d long ago stopped working.
Changed the battery and had to kinda bang it but it started working and wore it a few weeks.


I enjoyed that so picked up a Timex field style expedition and really liked it being 41mm so I’ve since picked up a Seiko 5 auto a citizen garrison eco drive. This showed up yesterday and I’m really liking it.

I know it’s Chinese but it seems like a lot of watch for the $97 I paid. On their website it’s $150. The lume on this thing is absolutely ridiculous when I hit it with a light last night before bed. Woke up for work this morning and it was still glowing dimly lol
