What watch do you wear?

I had a browse in a jewellery shop today, looking at various Seiko's. I have to say that the SSC819 Speedtimer in silver and black looked every bit as good as my Speedmaster and a little bit more modern. I didn't get to feel it and I'm sure my Speedy must feel higher quality in the hand. But if I didn't have my Speedy I would really be quite tempted by this watch, especially at the price.

SSC819 | Seiko Watch Corporation

Seiko is one of the few fully integrated watch manufactures. We design and develop our own movements using leading-edge technology.

I’m definitely biased as a Speedy owner, but to me the Seiko just doesn’t have elegance of the Speedy. It looks a bit too cumbersome for me.

Every time I look at the speedy dial I think what a fantastic and timeless design it is.

Can’t deny that the Seiko will be fantastic for the money though.

Merry Christmas to all my fellow watch enthusiasts

I've been weak, once again, and so I'm continuing in my 2022 "micro brand watches craving" for my Christmas present.

Here's a quick preview I took before wrapping it up and putting it under the Christmas tree.

Just a hint, and again continuing in my micro brand touring of the world, she is Swedish this time

Brand and model I know not. But like it I do.

EDIT: Tuseno Shellback? If so, then love it. Black or blue?

Yep, Looks like a Tuseno, something I was eyeing up not to long ago! I had a Blue one sat in the basket..

Does look excellent vfm as well!

I just caved in with a Tissot PRX80 in blue, just on sale for £408 at the moment, I've stayed well clear of watches, but will give the Tissot a go as its so good vfm, and see if I start on the slippery slope of collecting or if I miss a smartwatch too much..

It is indeed a Tusenö Shellback, in black, congratulations you guys are pros

New Spinnaker Azure with Sinn styled lugs in for review.

I like the cool "summer watch" vibe but seems pretty expensive for what you actually get, specs wise

Bro in law and fam were over today and he showed me his new watch, not seen these in the flesh and pictures don't do the dial justice.

Same movement as my baby Tuna, so that's what it looks like...

Nice dial indeed.

Lovely. I also really like it on the red strap.
