What watch do you wear?

Seiko 5 came back from repair today. They included a little certificate booklet that had a water resistance chart which I thought was interesting on what they deem usable:
Put the leather strap on it too but I don't think it's as comfortable on this watch as the nylon one that comes with it so will revert back. Looks nicer though :/

Hey Guys,
Can someone spec me a watch?
I love some of these on here but well out of my price range.. much like this one!:
http://www.omegawatches.com/fileadmin/images/watches/soldier-detail/22258000-20.png
Im looking at about £200.. I realise for the above I need to put another 0 on the end and then double it but still!
Any ideas guys??

If you're after something similar visually, maybe check out Seiko if you can't move from your budget?

I read it on watch site recently but for the life if me can't find the link any more that a modified Orient can be Helium safe, anyone heard about this?

Won this 1900 Omega Grand Prix pocket watch last night. Now I just need to work out how to pay for it. Damn German!

Scrap that, just managed to pay for it. Stupid ebay. Get in for me though!
Still need to sort payment for the 4 above, but I will hopefully have the start of a nice little collection once I get them refurbished!

I like it! Under certain light the 5 Emblem looks like the Superman logo 
reliability should be fine, what I often do with strap watches is take the original strap off and use it on an aftermarket one
The standard monaco is nothing special but at 40% off it should hold a good percentage of it's value

I'll take a tag at 40% off! Pass on the love...
40% off is pretty good but not out of the question, 25% is available just by asking

I have a delivery!!!!
Return of the...Mako
Noticeable differences to the normal Mako? There's a blueish tinge when moving around the glass, this is the AR coating and lastly obviously the upgraded blue lume
Seiko is being sold!
Watch lovers....
Does everybody pay for a specialist to change the battery or is there a good maintenance kit you can get?
Currently two of my watch's need a new battery and for 'some reason' one of them will cost £18 to change, the other is £9.
Just thinking if I could do it myself I could save a lot of money.
Cheers

^^^Man jewellery. Gotta have it
New leather strap:
Where from? That would look lovely on my Citizen.
Arrived this morning. Very pleased with it.
I like that. Looking to purchase one in the near future and I see it's the made in Japan model.
Can I ask where you bought it from? I'd seen it on Creationwatches but it's now sold out.

I go to a little shop on Fleet Street who do repairs for Ernest Jones but far cheaper. With any quality watch, doing it yourself would likely damage the back and you're unlikely to get the same "seal" on the watch that a specialist will get.
