Wilkey Pretty classic size, wears well. Larger than a typical 5, which is a good thing imho. They generally wear just a touch on the small side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginseng Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Brilliant. BTW, if you like Seiko, Orient is having a 40% off Sale right now. Just picked up a Mako II for under $200 delivered! Wilkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good buy, rubber wrists It's not just that the dial is a crisp. clean, legible design. It is so multidimensional. There are at least four planes including the dial itself and the marker channel and Arabic numerals. The real trick is that they pull it off without it looking too cartoony. There is one reservation I have with this watch, though. Every component carries the appropriate weight and solidity for a flieger. It's not a brick like a 43 mm diver. Every component except the clasp. It is inexplicably flimsy. Clearly stamped out of steel that is too thin gauge for a watch of this caliber, if there's even a little looseness on the wrist, the band clinks against the clasp body issuing a tinny sound. Unforgivable in a nearly thousand dollar watch. I will probably have to apply a small patch of tape or a silicone dot to the underside of the clasp to prevent this.

Outsourced movement in their earlier watches. Really listing after it, but can't justify owning that and Rolex explorer II. Too much $ would be tied up in two watches with the same functionality.

Ginseng Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Casio G-Shock GWM 5610-1. So comfy, a throwback to 30 years ago for me. The automatic clock signal time setting is a nice convenience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seamaster gmt just doesn't do it for me and I have no need for a helium escape as on the planet ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianbeaver Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 If you guys see my my previous posts, I love a nice watch. I wore my fanciest watch in a pool on a business trip with mr beaver earlier this month in Hawaii. The crystal got all steamy. To the company it has gone and it is going to cost equal to a box of stogies to fix. Moved to the next watch posted but needed new battery, so I thought. Nope. Needs some kind of repair. Shite! Wearing an Apple black thing given to all on our recent biz trip. Driving me nuts. Tells me to stand, walk, breathe, looks goofy and needs power plug in all night. Cannot give it away or stamp it with my foot in frustration, since must must wear it at any company event to show my appreciation and match mr beaver's men's model that night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
