Incoming! This is a definite grail for me. Finally found a 2006 SAR with a Jim Madrid 12hr bezel insert. The inserts are DLC-coated stainless, and rare as hen's teeth. The watch will probably need to get right in for a service, since it hasn't gotten any attention in 12 years, but I'm really looking forward to this one. An as-new 2018 GSAR will be on the chopping block once this one is sorted. Yes @Finslayer83 I will be removing the offending cyclops.

Right now I'm torn between a Seiko SKX, Scurfa Dive One and a Victorinox 241555. I already have a Citizen NY0040 but would like another dive watch.

It arrived today as scheduled. I'm impressed, "bang for your buck" this thing is tits. Ordered on Tuesday afternoon, arrived from the UK today. I like the strap so much I ordered a couple more from Toxic Natos

Just went in for one of these on Kickstarter. They have 14 different dial colors but I went with this white mother of pearl.

going to buy next? IDK
what did I just buy a min. ago? one of these Casio GW-B5600BC-1JF after seeing the G-shock thread and diving into some of the other info out there, not to mention I always wanted one of the solar / atomic pieces that have been around for some time (but i just couldn't fall in love with the display for some reason).. and after some deliberation. I went with this model, as it also has Bluetooth.. which nets me a greater range of accurate time updates, if/when the WWV signals go silent or I am out of range of any of the other signal sources. |

Just passed my ten-year anniversary at work and was given a list of awards. I chose the Fossil Q Nate Smart Watch.
Not as sexy as some of the others posted here but my options were limited and it was "free." Can anyone provide any comments? Good or bad?

This is one of those YMMV situations. You did get one at a decent price though.

@grondike its a keeper for the time being.
Wears like a SKX007 even though the LTL is a tad longer. It keeps the sub case style so has nice curves.  Attached File |
