To me it wears comfortable. Initially I thought will be top heavy but surprisingly the bracelet Is able to balance it well.

thanks for your sharing. Picked mine today

If looking at seamaster, should consider the new bond 60th anniversary edition.

I will go for the pelagos. I’m waiting to see if it ever get release in a green colourway 🤣

I prefer the No time to die edition rather than the 60th anniversary edition. Either way, then we are venturing towards 10k-20k price range already. The options are then on another level.

I intend to wear it as a daily driver/ GADA watch. I don't think I can overcome the mental hurdle of wearing a 20k watch on my hand. Maybe till I reach monthly salary of 40k.

I am also inching towards Pelagos....but it is very similar to my current SPB143 (lume at 3).
And if going for Pelagos, should I go for version 1 OG ETA?

In that case, better remove the 2 grand Seiko from your shortlist as they are in the 10k-20k range 🙂
