The Watch Thread - Part 15

[jonleelk]

budget can be mid or high 100+ but dont mind 200+ if really worth the extra top up. thanks will keep a look out in skx007

what you mean by jubilee for < $300? got promo now for seiko series?

Jubilee is the type of bracelet shown in the picture. SKX007 comes in either rubber strap (will be cheaper) or jubilee bracelet (shown in my previous picture).

Eg $287 here.

Are you going to start a watch hobby or just trying to get a proper watch? If latter, then just get a tag heuer f1 quartz or something - smart, well known, affordable and look good in officewear

Think a Seiko Diver will be good. Buy one with metal bracelet as it looks more formal than a rubber strap. A good one should be under $300 (eg Seiko 5 - SNZF17J and the evergreen - SKX007K)

OK, as earlier post, imo get a tag heuer quartz then or maybe even a longines quartz. Skip all automactic/mechanical watches, it will be a chore to a non watch hobbyist

Skx is a nice chooce for automatic but u can consider orient mako or ray, seiko 7s26 movement is a hit and miss thing, so far orient watchs seems to have better regulation than seiko, better accuracy out of the box. But this might anger people, tag and longines are overhype watches not worth, most or all using eta movements. U just buying the swiss made stamp. For quartz u can get the seiko 5 or the orient classic which is very value for money. For history, u might want to google on quartz crisis on how seiko crush the swiss makers.

From the video. I feel the watch pricing is good and can easily change the strap to get different feel.

What you think of the watch?

The ORIENT SK Crystal Reissue. Love the unique case shape and vintage vibes of this automatic watch. The gold hands and markers really stand out against the deep blue dial. The crown at the 4 o'clock position controls an internal rotating bezel.
