What watch do you wear?

It seems the votes are swaying towards the Seiko! I really like both, the Orient perhaps wins it for fitment but the dial on the Presage is unreal when it catches the sun.

I think the Seiko looks better and fits better as a dress watch personally.

I also think the Orient is a little on the verge of too big on the wrist. The Seiko also looks a little more modern yet classy. The Orient is leaning the classic OLD vibe more.

The Seiko Presage all day long, it's stunning and I want one

Just ordered an Oceanus Manta OCW-S7000RA-2AJF.

If you'd told me just a month ago that I'd spend nearly 1k on a Casio watch I would have poked you in the eye!

Will post pics when it gets here.

I got a couple of Rolex watches one works the other I found in a river while treasure hunting.

Recently got this. 1966/7 Chronostop. Still has the orignal crystal as well.

Rolex Explorer.

It's needing a service and was quoted £1200 by the official Rolex store recently. I don't think so. Found an authorised service centre place that will service it for just over half that.

Damn that strap is wild, never seen anything like it! Enjoy.

Don't hate me but when I saw this I had to see what it was like in person.

No water resistance, not an automatic and a blatant clone of the Max Bill but I just had to know what it is like for £20.

Surprisingly good!

No hate here, that's genuinely great looking watch. £20 for a mech? What is it exactly?

It's a Chinese Seagull movement, but I can't even find one for less than £20 for the movement itself and they sell this complete watch shipped for £20.

Child labour means their hands are small enough to do the movement work

I wonder if the 'jewels' are coloured plastic?

Speaking of the Max Bill, I really don't wear mine enough.

There's a subtlety to their class. They just have all the portions just right.

A standard Casio, but I've overclocked it to 5GHz and strapped a custom copper water block to it. It tells the time in the future, but my wrist is freezing.
