What brand of watch do you wear? [Merged]

[bloowolf]

if son is a pisay,
they have a sea urchin commemorative watch.
it costs an arm and a leg, but what the heck.

No, he’s not. He just came from a regular school. I am just scouting for a nice grad gift for him. Nothing fancy, though. I still have Med school expenses to prepare for.

imho skx007 > sea urchin

the strapcode oyster bracelet is a must upgrade for the skx007. if the skx007 is too big, there’s the midsize skx013.

true. Itong nakaraan na xmas season, the skx007 & the skx009 were flying off the shelves at pricey dept stores pa. I'd always chance upon buyers whenever i dropped by & window shopped at sm or robinson's or even at landmark.

Nothing wrong w/ that naman. I guess it's just a testament to how good & how functional a watch they really are

I Have to agree on the skx007 > sea urchin thing.

I was actually had this line of thought last month (but i favored & had the the pepsi state of mind). Pero nauwi ako sa pre-loved skx 033. [emoji4]

The 003 looks better than the 009 in my view, w/ the applied & chrome like garnishing on the indices. Iyon nga lang it's not a true diver but i don't dive pa naman so i can live w/ that.

The discontinued white faced sea urchin is a heckuva looker though

I actually bought a Seiko Sea Urchin on a SS bracelet 2 years ago then had it modded by putting in a sapphire crystal and changing the bezel. Between the SKX007 and the Turtle, I'd probably go for the Turtle since it has the more modern caliber.

[bloowolf]

The skx & the sea urchin aren’t really that big. My Orient now is 44mm compared to the Seikos which are 42mm & it looks just right since my son & I have big hands (his is long while mine is wide) & he is 6 ft tall. He also likes diver type watches. IMO, big faced watches with a large second hand are more handy & more of a tool than jewelry or accessory. One thing I don’t like about Seikos though, is that every Juan has it & my non-conformist nature plays a big role in my choices. That is why I like Orients. I am not closing my mind, though. Matagal pa graduation.

Haha! How I wish! I couldn't even change a bracelet to a leather strap...much less resize one. I had a trusted watchmaker do it for me.

I have the bracelet adjustment set from JW Horological Gallery. For watches like say Tissot, Seiko I can do a strap change/bracelet adjustment fairly easily. But other watches have really stiff spring bars and much tighter tolerance/clearance.. I'm afraid to scratch the lugs if I slip.

Thanks for the compliments, bro! Would you say the watch below is an attractive dress watch? I saw it in Washington recently but different color dial...

in my opinion,
pang-plaid.
hindi pang-barong.
heh heh.

but then, i suppose ok lang.
most of us are not fashion snobs naman, e.
plastic-shod g-shock lang siguro ang no-no sa barong o 'merkana.

Hi doc! I wear my g-shock airman when I'm doing field work! Tough as nails.

i like it bro. its dial w/ the mixture of arabic numerals/numbers and roman numerals is quirky enough not to be too formal for a dress watch. the suede strap also lessens the stiff formality dress watches seem to have - for me anyway - making it pretty versatile.

btw, aside from the striking orange second hand, another beauty and unique feature of this particular model is that it sports a roman numeral typography of IV and not the usual IIII representation w/c watches and clocks traditionally use.

i say go for it bro.

just to add, the german made nomos brand isn't common among folks around these parts so that'll definitely add to the novelty

[dr. d]

IV = roman four.

IIII = clock four.

Wow. It looks so elegant!

Jut's watch that caught my eye is also an Orient. This watch of yours did the same for me

How come I don't see a lot of Orients in this thread? Seems like they make beautiful watches (from my non watch enthusiast POV :p)
