i just got an Orient Submariner. it got rave reviews even from Rolex Sub owners. for $127 shipped i'm loving it.

not my pic but here it is:

[nemoulette]

I too have to Orient sub and it's alright. Cons: shitty lume but especially the bracelet feels a bit cheap. A bargain otherwise, though.

Hamilton Khaki Navy GMT

Seiko Power Design Project SBPP005 Chronograph

i really like the seiko. the black on black watch really sets it off.

[wild style]

So my Archimede Pilot all of a sudden is gaining 2+ minutes per day. It used to gain about 6 seconds per day which was awesome, but 2 minutes blows. Nothing crazy happened to the watch that I could think of. Any idea what could have caused it? I've only had it for a few months.

I guess I'll have to get it regulated because it's really bothering me.

[fre-co]

That's funny, my Stowa airman, which has the same movement as yours has recently started gaining a couple of minutes per day too. I've had mine about 2 years though. Maybe the ETA movements aren't all that robust when it comes to keeping regular. I don't do anything too shocking with mine on but I ride a bike and ride a motorcycle on heavily potholed roads and it probably gets the odd jolt from having a fairly active lifestyle.

Oh shit! We may be onto something here. I've been commuting to work a lot on my motorcycle lately and have been wearing the watch. Up until recently I haven't really worn it when I rode my motorcycle. Maybe the vibrations from the bike messed something up. Weird.

[fre-co]

That is what I thought. I don't really know enough about automatic movements to make any more sense though.

I had to send mine for repair about a year and a half ago because it would occasionally stop at a certain point of the second sweep. That started to happen a little after an accident on my motorcycle.

[edmond]

ehhhh...

panerai pam05 or br chrono?

[DaBestSpoona]

I think the pam is more versatile

[Vanquish Gold]

Breitling Cockpit with Aviator Strap.

My Seiko SNK-809, a nice and classy watch that does the job. I just want to switch to leather straps and that's it.

yeah, the lume is weak. i think subs look better on bond nato straps so i'll enventually remove the bracelet. for $20-40 i could get a better bracelet too.

i'm getting a seiko diver next.

[corey]

PAM would fit your aesthetic better Ed.

[dunkin deeznuts]

liking the look of that seiko SNK-809...might be the way you shot it though cause it looks alot smaller in person....

Yea, I just wanted to focus on the face of the watch. It is a lot smaller when you zoom back.

[arlee]

that shipping price makes sense. would you want him to ship that shit uninsured? lol

[DaBestSpoona]

I've flicked through this thread but I still don't get it: why is Seiko and Citizen so popular on this forum?

People have taste, you don't. Those swatches are awful.

[arlee]

None of them, have a look at the swatch Irony collection instead:

http://store.swatch.com/irony/all

You might actually find something there that doesn't force you to immediately spend an extra $20 on an actual strap.

I've flicked through this thread but I still don't get it: why is Seiko and Citizen so popular on this forum?

i would wear any of those 3 and none of those ugly swatches you linked to.

guy: i would pick the seiko 5, as for size i think all 3 of those are 37mm

[Ande]

for around $100 price range

the seiko is well under 100 so if the citizens cost more go w/the bargain.

my wrist is small too but a 40-42mm watch fits perfect.

Breitling Cockpit close up (They don't make this cockpit watch face anymore)
