Let’s Talk Watches

This in 36mm will be my gift to myself when I get promoted to full.

36mm is the only way for the explorer imo. Just a perfect size.

Got a new hunting gear watch coming a
Casio Pro Trek Men's Black Dial Triple Sensor Solar Powered PRG601-1-
I really don’t know if I will keep it as I thought it was atomic update! So I will be ordering a
Citizen Eco-Drive Radio Controlled Perpetual Calendar Sapphire WR200

I dumped everything Casio after having three watches crash ( solar battery, LCD screens on 2 ) the distributor is now replacing them with a citizen chronograph, hopefully this will solve my Casio curse ( imo they are junk after 3 nib watches crash and burn in a 3 week period)

I've got a momentum that I love. Analog watch good to 200 m depth and solar so you don't have to worry about swapping batteries.

When you scratch the crystal there is a company that makes sapphire crystal replacements.

SKX007 SRPD Flat Sapphire Crystal | Crystaltimes USA | CT025

Looking to replace that OEM crystal with a Flat Sapphire Crystal? CT025 is a Flat Sapphire Crystal suitble for the SKX007 SRPD.

Its impossible to read in dusk or dark but it is a beautiful all black watch.

Take my advice from years of doing this non sense. If you can be one and done, do it. I daily wore an explorer for over 20 years then starting collecting, looking back it was stupid since I was happy with one, not sure why the bug bit me to start a collection. Stupid.

If it wasn’t for the Covid craze I would have lost 100s of thousands of dollars on watches instead of making money.

Enjoy your new watch and wear it in good health!

I didn’t see tissot mentioned at all. I’ve been looking at their prx line, any feedback on those?

It's the only big boy watch I own, and I love it. My wife and brother teamed up and got it for me for my 28 (I think) birthday, and besides my wife, daughter, and dog would be one of my top priorities in a fire.

My only critique is that the metal on the band seems "soft" and shows a lot of wear, at least on mine. I have no idea if that's common or I just wear mine too much.

Bergeon 2834-C Fiber Glass Scratch Brush Pen.​

If you want to re finish it yourself, though sometimes the scratches are better aesthetically than areas that look slightly different from attempting to remove them.
