Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

Nice watch! I think it's beautiful in its simplicity. I also don't think it looks that huge on your wrist. It's not like it's an Invicta or something.

Thanks JohnnyMac!

Sea-Gull had also some other quite simple, a bit vintage look designs. I had to choose from a couple.

The ST2130 movement disassembled.

Somehow I find stuff like this very interesting! Very nice pics, amazingly small parts

Be careful, once the watch bug bites....

Good looking watch, thanks for posting pics!

Yes quartz are more accurate than automatics, even a Rolex generally cannot compete in accuracy with the cheapest quartz movements, automatic movements are just appreciated for how they work. For something with no electric power they are amazing.

That sea-gull looks beautiful! I just got this, my first nice watch, and it was a steal of a deal!!

My Casio G Shock GA100 and Gulfman.

I like!

CheapThrills, that Sea-Gull in the first post is nice! Not too big - it's good to have at least one monster watch to wear when you're in the mood.

I wore this Citizen Nighthawk (solar powered) for awhile, but it was a little too heavy for my tastes...

So this is what I EDC for now, Casio Pathfinder PAW1300g, the atomic time keeping and solar power are handy and it's very lightweight.

It's also got a Maratac S-series Zulu nylon band, very comfortable and durable. I don't think I can ever go back to a metal band again. ... plus, no hair pullers!

You can buy a Titainium Tissot for about the sameprice of the Seagull if you shop carefully.

Yes indeed. Checked out a ton of Citizens, Seikos etc. in the price range of 200-300$.

Quartz watch somehow gives me a feel of single-service or something like that.

...and most of what I checked out were not automatic.

Dad has a Omega from -65. Still working, not saying that a quartz cannot do high mileage...

BTW: SeaGull makes some movements for Tissot, Fossil, Junkers, a couple other German brands and a whole deal of others.

All in all, SeaGull makes over 25% of all movements sold in watches.

You can buy a two-tone Rolexx for less than both of them if you shop carefully.

...but who will buy a copy-rolex, when at this price you can get a Genuine Bagelsport!

Lol, what a name! Tempted to try, though. Could use a beater and they are reported working.

I was tempted, they have some fairly good reviews over on watchuseek, can't justify a seagull just yet.

I've picked up a couple of parnis, and I'm putting a little a side to buy the next chinese forum watch, really like the one I missed out on so hoping the next is just as good.

I have a shitload of watches. Here's just a few

Nice watches atbglenn, any other difference in those two Seiko5´s than looks? 8)

I was also checking that WUS "Moonie". I liked it but I never really got the idea of the moonphase in wristwatch...

The other issue is thickness of 14mm if I remember correctly. Huge clump, possibly 40mm at least in diameter also. Still, very nice especially for the price.

I used to wear a SKX007, just a cheap diver, I wore it for over 10 years, most recently on a WJ Oyster. Then one day it just felt way too heavy and thick, so now I wear a cheap Casio, nice and thin, light, accurate, has a little light in it, hahah.

Hey Glenn. Whats your opinion on the last Seiko? They are going for cheap at Amazon. I might get it.

NICE!


I'm a fan of simple, stylish watches like that, however, I'm also practical so I need digital. I just can't get used to watches again since I've went without for a few years now. That black one is slick though.

Thanks man. There's really no difference other than style. They both have the same movement, and both are water resistant to 100 meters :)

I like it alot. The only problem with most automatic watches is that they're no where near as accurate as a Quartz watch. Both of mine gain about 15 seconds a day. One thing, if you know a good Jeweler, they can be calibrated to be within a couple a seconds a day..
