I'll take delivery of a Seiko SPB087 PADI Diver this coming Monday.

I'm surprised you wear something so inexpensive

Thanks I guess. A couple recent life experiences have given me the opportunity to review my values. Part of this is right-sizing myself with the world around me and the people I value the most.

With that said, anybody here want to buy a low mileage F458 Speciale?

This morning one of my friends asked why I don’t answer text messages promptly... “I know you have an iWatch...”

...yeah, but I don’t wear it. I only wear pajamas. Or less.

Still, the iWatch is cool. With BeerGoggels on, it looks like a Reverso.

F458 Speciale
That is a beautiful car. I once considered a 246 Dino, but did not have the patience, or something.

I think I might rather have the watch than the car

I can hardly find the time to ride the toys I have.

Still, beauty, eh?

Such a fine piece of automotive art would be wasted on one such as myself.

So as to not get another Seiko Automatic for my other friend's son, what is a cheap but ok automatic watch you'd recommend?

Orient?

Tissot or Hamilton. You can get one of their automatics for less than $500 and they are both proper watches.

Too pricey. I need something in the $200 range for a 13 year old. I have no relationship with him but his dad has been my buddy for like 25 years.

Orient. In house, exclusive movements. Quality pieces.

I just sent my 2018 Sea Dweller in for service, it was running 8+ second slow per day. Really hoping RSD Dallas has their shit together and gets my favorite watch back to me in under two months.

I ordered an Orient 200m automatic dive-style watch with Blue face (it's the kid's favorite color). Should be a decent banger for a 13 year old.

My good lady friend bought herself a Tudor several years ago for $4000 CAD and it's likely worth more than that now but it has diamonds and she keeps it in a security box and is not sure when to wear it. I told her it's an great brand and choice and she should wear it

Anyone a fan of green accents? This is a new model from Grand Seiko. Pretty sure it comes with both the bracelet and this stylish looking strap.

fan of the (old) green Seiko alpinist? NO

The Orient dive watch I got is surprisingly solidly built. I think my friend's son will like it.
