The Watch Thread

Bump from the dead. Hehehe. Got this last week

This one just came in...you may recognize the bracelet:





I'll probably buy another bracelet for it just like the one I have, but with a diver ratchet adjustment mechanism.

Bulova Accutron II "Snorkel" model. Really liking the smooth second hand movement; don't think I'll ever need to worry about getting a Grand Seiko Spring drive now... The lume really sucks though - absolutely the worst of any of my watches. Will probably get it relumed with actual really good lume later on.

Casio JDM 5610 work wear and a diver on a leather nato strap.

my year of watch flipping landed me a brand new, Omega seamaster planet ocean ceramic for free also got to play around with a lot of different watches for a month or two at a time















and early next week!

I don't know why I even open this thread, it's way too classy for me.

^ Wow, nice. I would've kept the Hublot lol

I got this watch 2 weeks ago but have been too lazy to take a pic. Here it is:


Seagull M201S, got it secondhand on Ebay at ~1/2 MSRP 8.9mm thick case with ST1812 movement (nearly identical to ETA2892).

I'm really glad I waited to find a used one because it's not quite worth 350-400 IMO. The face has this matte texture which I think could be a little brighter and smoother to fit the ultra minimalist style. You can also see a few tiny scratches on the bars indicating the hours if you look really closely.

That said I love how thin it is, this must be how Patek owners feel except less rich :P It's been gaining something like 12-15 seconds per day but I can't adjust it since the case back isn't held by screws. Probably gonna replace the band with a leather one although the metal bracelet seems a lot less ugly than in pictures.

Saving up for a Seiko SARB065 "Cocktail Time" next

nice watches. People use more mobile and less watches nowadays.

My two watches that have been getting the most use lately are my Suunto Vector on a woodland NATO strap & Citizen tank style

[AznKirby]

^ Hahaha badass cigar, sir.

Wore my vintage (1960's) seamaster today for the first time in a while

How thin is it?

I got a Hamilton Khaki Mechanical handwind recently and I was all ZOMGWTFBBQ it was so thin. Then I measured it with my calipers and it is 9.5mm from caseback to top of the slightly domed sapphire. I can only imagine what these <8mm watches are like...
