What watch do you wear?

Very nice!!

I wear my standard moonswatch quite often. It's a great daily wear
I ditched the standard strap, however, for a textured colour matched silicone version.

I'm going to get a new strap for it soon. I've flipped it around in the mean time, a lot more comfortable.

Fancied trying a 62mas so decided on the new 2024 version , is it worth £1380 , definitely not.
It looks fantastic but are seiko no longer the king of cheap and good , a decade ago £200 quid would get you a good watch but now those watches are creeping closer and above 1k.
I think orient are now going to take over the cheaper end of the market.(thats the jap market , not the chinese market)
A bonus though is the date is not on a slant as they normally are at that position ,(gilt numbers instead of white would have been better) although a no date would have been awesome.

I got my Glacier/Blue Birch 62MAS for about half price. It's a lovely thing, and at that price felt like decent value. At RRP? No thanks.

I love Seiko, you could even say I'm a fanboy, but they don't represent decent value compared to some other brands, and especially microbrands. For example I picked up a Wise Adamascus GMT recently, and that's a whole other universe of bang for buck. High beat GMT, 904L stainless, Sapphire everywhere, jewel-like finishing, and.... the bezel lines up.

I finally managed to get one of these. I originally bought one back in 2000 when I was at college as there was one in the window of the local sports shop and I saved up to buy it as I loved the look of it, but it ended up going missing (most likely stolen). I have been wanting to get another for years, but when they crop up from time to time on ebay, they are usually in bad shape and often missing the strap. It cost double what I paid 25 years ago

. I'm not sure why but people seem to collect them.

I've got a slightly less colourful version I was about to chuck out!
