Incoming. I've always wanted to try one of these out, and just found one on WUS for a good price. I don't currently have a 'field watch' and the Hamilton Murph 38mm is still a bit out of my price range.  Titanium, perpetual calendar, syncs with JJY app.

I have Seiko field watches and now need a dive watch in my collection. Looking at a Turtle or King Turtle.

Other than the cyclops over the day/date, I really like this one. I had Duarte at NEWW swap the crystal for one without cyclops.

Nice. I'm sort of digging the cyclops on the King Turtles, so it'll be staying. I'm looking at the SRPE03 and getting a black band. Also saw some listings for the SEA limited edition SRPH41K1 in all black that caught my eye.

The wife and I have three watches on order currently.  Which will come in first will probably be a Seamaster Aqua Terra.  Steel on a blue rubber strap, with gray dial and blue hands and indices.  We also have a Lady Date and an Air King on order, but we’re anticipating another 6+ months to go on those.

I will be stopping by my AD next week and intend to inquire about either a stainless GMT Master II on a jubilee or a Daytona. Leaning heavily towards the Daytona as I do not have an automatic chrono.

Incoming. New Marathon steel-cased Navigator.

Link Posted: 4/12/2023 1:33:30 PM EST
[#19]
I like Marathon a lot.  I picked up a GSAR on a SS bracelet a couple years ago and it's been great.  

End of March I threw in the towel on playing the Rolex AD game and just went grey.  Walked in, bought the watch I wanted, walked out.  That was a Polar Explorer II 216570, which was an unworn leftover.    The current model is the 226570 for which I had been on a mythical waiting list.  Should be called time-wasting list.  

Anyway, since the current 32xx movements are prone to amplitude problems, I was kinda glad I didn't "get the call".   Rolex has no fix.    It would have pissed me off to have spent $10K or more only to have the timekeeping to fall of dramatically after a year or so. But I digress.  

Next up I'm thinking the GMT Master II.  I'm kinda favoring the 116710LN (all black bezel). I almost walked out with it a few weeks back.  So next will be that or a 126710BLNR (Batman) on jubilee.  We shall see, but no more AD circle jerk for me.

I picked up a nice barely used on this year for $650 off WUS. Runs great. I did send it to Durarte for bezel alignment because of my OCD but its perfect now.

I have everything that i have a perceived need for and then some but judging from what i've been looking at the most here lately (and admiring on here )  -- my next watch will be one or the other of 2 watches that the board has had numerous comments about --  A Seamaster, and probably a 300 series --- or a Pelagos.

This was my most recent purchase just for laughs: $49 from Amazon.

I have had it for a month and so far keeps time well - surprising.

Have a Rdunae R2X on the way for a summer/vacation watch. Faithful homage to the 6105-8110. Crown placement is perfect at 3:45'ish, as is the 19mm lug width. I've had the Heimdallr and Steeldive Willards and they were just a little off to my eye with the 4:15 crown. Hoping this will scratch the itch.  Was $115 shipped from Ali with all the summer coupons.

Yup, I was really torn between the two.  Spencer Klein did a couple videos on the -8000 and he was impressed. That's high praise.

Edit:

I canceled the Willard and ordered the Slim Turtle. It has definitely grown on me.

Rdunae didn't work out. Crystal gasket was all kinked and looked bad, so I sent it back. I also decided that I have too many dive watches anyway, so I have this coming:

The sine qua non of the basic Seiko auto dive during their golden age, say about 1975 to 1990,
Was essentially offering a Submariner substitute in a cushion case with both day and date complications and a 4 o’clock crown at a fraction of the price when auto divers were still the go to tool watch.

The 6217 didn’t really fill this roll.
The first model 6105 gave us the crown and near cushion case.
The sense one model 6105 the full , although asymmetric cushion case,
And the 6306/6309 brought the whole package together.


But,
All that aside, the first model 6105 is an absolutely gorgeous design.
