what watch do you wear?

pimpdriver · 21-04-09, 09:04 PM

I have always had a thing for chunky watches, and I just bought one of these:

Seiko SKX781 "Orange Monster".

I like it, it is really high quality and is not too big. And the price isn't too bad either (about £150 or so).

What watch do you wear?

Cheers

Steve

My day wear is a Seiko kinetic but I do own an old Seiko Bell Matic watch similar to the one in the picture below. It called a bell matic because it has a clockwork alarm mechanism and rings like a little alarm clock when set. It was my late Dad's watch and to me it's priceless and about the only real possession of his that I have. It still works though it does lose a little time and is now put away for safe keeping. No doubt it will be passed onto my son.

I looked at Kinetics, but the styling is a bit "curvy" for me.

Seikos are great - decent quality and decent price.

got a 9 year old casio g shock that the wife bought me, a rolex submariner ( shit timekeeper) and a citizen eco drive which is a right lump of a thing

My Kinetics is very early model understated and slim, silver numerals and a blue face. I don't go much on the chunky look tbh

Lovely bit of kit, the clasp is a work of art.

I also have a Seiko Kinetic Dive Watch. I have an Eco-drive solar faced diver with an add on stainless band as well but the mineral crystal is really scratched up. Both watches keep excellent time, need no maintainence, and came with long warranties. Rolex's as pretty as they are share non of these qualities. They also cost 10x as much. Oddly they hold there value though. Vintage Sub-Mariner get crazy money.

I really like my Seiko Diver. Less than $300 US on sale.
