That's all great, guys, and I also have something to add to a watch thread.

 

BUT........what happened to the 100+ page thread, with the same name, that we had going for a couple of years??

My Seiko, came out at the beggining of 2010.

 

Got it a really good deal through a freind that owns a jeweler shop.

I have a Rolex Submariner and two-tone Datejust, classics both. As well as a Tissot Seastar 1000 with the blue face, and a Porsche Design Titanium Chronometer.

 

For work, I would wear the Submariner and the Seastar, as their SS cases/bracelets would put up with the abuse.

 

I recently went to the Dark Side and got into Invicta automatics (Citizen 21-jewel movement) as work watches. I won't buy a quartz watch, and for under $100 each, these Invictas do the job. The first is a 6032 ($80), the 2nd is a 9210 ($69), both from Amazon. When they eventually need service, they will be used as target practice!!

Never been much for expensive watches, as I've always been too hard on them. The only watch I currently wear is this: http://www.casio.com/resource/images/xlarge/gw9200-1_xlarge.jpg

Casio G-Shock GW9200-1 Riseman.

 

I bought it for the mountains of Afghanistan and under all conditions, from firefights to vehicle repair to extreme temperatures, it has worked flawlessly.

 

It's got an altimeter, barometer, therometer, it's solar powered and has atomic timekeeping. Bad ass watch, just not fancy. I will own a Tag Heuer someday.

It took the jeweler about an hour to get my Breitling to fit right...one link on this side, one link on that, put back one link over here. Now it fits perfect. No slop, balance is great. Super comfy. My only real issue is it doesn't fit under all my dress shirt cuffs. It's a hair too tall, but I can deal with this. The cuff is tight. See photo.

had the same thing done with my speedypro. All the watchman did was remove one like from one side of the band and ad a link and a half to to the other. its fit great ever since.

 

Nixon 51-30

i love that watch so much, but its so heavy i feel like a deep sea diver. the new one with the wearing enamel? hot.

i used to have a Bertucci A2T in that exact color. field watches are great.
