I'm seeing quite a few aquanauts in the market now. Quite tempted.. Anyone got suggestions?

New or used?...

 

[cyrenic]

even the miyota + sapphire +.... you pay you get

the cheap chinese movement (which i was responding to) is cheap for a reason.

Yeah I guess so.

I'm quite happy with my Tisell (Sea Gull movement ) though, the movement is performing really very well. Of course whether that will be the case 5 years down the road, let you know when we get there.

Just let it be. It won't be the last time you stain it. Like scratches, stains on straps give character.

Not easy to find 21 mm. You are better off squeezing a 22 mm or make do with 20 mm.

Gnomon has some. Check their web site before going down.

Seiko SARB series and Orient Bambino is a good start. Don't worry about metal bracelet or leather band, the bracelet can be removed and a leather band can easily cost below $50.

 

[AyuReady]

Beside the seiko and orient

Can also check out Hamilton and Tissot, might be able to squeeze them in too with $800

But I think most will recommend the seiko sarb65 cocktail time for its unique dial and good overall proposition

You saw the GS "clasp not flushing" photo?

What are your thoughts?
