Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

atbglenn, thats a very smart TAG is that, really like it :sunglasses:

Coming from you, the master watch collector, I say thanks. The Tag is very important to me because it marks an important time in my life. Being still young and my best friend getting married. BTW, all of us who went to the wedding are from New York. We all flew out to Las Vagas and stayed at the Mirage Hotel for a week. We all had the best time of our lives.

BTW…

The Superengineer linked above is also available in Aliexpress for 18.89EUR

That sounds amazing and no doubt adds to the occasion when you wear that special watch. Its not just the design/colour, but how kind of discrete it is for a TAG, as a package it makes for a very nice piece.

Me, well i am amateur at best, only have a hand full and seem to have stopped. I thought to have a watch for every day is enough(for a week that is, not a year! )I think i am content at 7 as i have not looked for a while. What may push me one day would be another seiko atlas like

You may laugh but I think I have just recently started to separatelly save to different account for Grand Seiko :expressionless:

:sunglasses: good luck with the saving, pics when you get there please :+1:

Speaking of old watches indeed, Glenn. I had to replace both batteries on mine (one for the digital display, another for the analog bands). Cost a pretty penny, but certainly worth it.

The 5028’s band is stainless, yes, but it has the problem of smell regardless: the links have a system that I’ve never seen, presumably for easy removal and placement, and they’re full of nooks and crannies on the inside where dead skin builds up with constant use. And lemme tell ya, it’s NOT easy to clean them.

I’m gonna let it soak on some soap-and-detergent solution tonight then scrub the entire band with an old toothbrush. Maybe it’ll do.

Care to share the model ? spring drive ?

My favorite is the SBGJ017 high beat automatic GMT

Got a 20mm nylon watch band for my Timex Expedition Crono from this eBay seller for $1.42 each. The quality is excellent, especially for the price. They come in 18mm as well. They’re available 4 different colors. I purchased 3 in brown, black, and green.

Simple and no-nonsense. I loved it :laughing:

aliexpress has nylon straps like this for as low as 70cents and they are actually decent.

that one looks nice, too.

the 70c ones don’t have the sewed-on leather feature.

here are a bunch of them

Not sure yet but not chrono, or a black dialed one. May not be over 40mm in size.
“Snow flake” looks very nice but I´m not really sure. No sure even if a new or used one but I think I still have plenty of time to think it :wink:

Some nice timepieces here.
I have always worn a watch, since my father gave his Seiko auto diver when I went into the Army in the early 80’s. I fell incapacitated in the middle of a 2 week field exercise, and it mysteriously disappeared in the medivac process.
My most recent acquisition:
Spinnaker Spence, 42mm, NH36, PVD case, Matte OD green dial, and 3mm thick water resistance treated leather band, along with a NATO strap. I took off the buckle and added a dual deployment clasp, because the strap is so thick & stiff.

Jack, I’m a simple, no-nonsense kind of guy. Saving money anyway I can is in my blood ever since I retired. BTW, so far I love it too. Time will tell if it lasts.

I received a Tritium watch I will be reviewing soon…a Carnival with day/date functions. Took it to Canada for a nice visit to the Rocky Mountains. Very impressed with it so far…kind of a new favorite…

I just received this $199 Tisell 40mm Pilot Type A watch from S. Korea. This is a very nice watch for the price. Miyota 9015, slighty domed sapphire with AR coating, heat threated blue hands and nice brushed SS 316L case. If you guys looking for a budget pilot type watch, this is the one to have. The accuracy is amazing on mine = +0.5s after a day.

Harry, super nice looking watch! Totally my style! Is it manual wind, auto, or quartz?

It’s an auto with high beat 28,800BPH, manual winding and hacking. The movement is Miyota 9015.

Nice! can you post where you got it from?

Sure.
