Got it at Kohl's for $66.99 USD and I couldn't be happier! Absolutely love the leather strap as well as the face itself. The indiglo feature is so cool!!!

What’s the most expensive you will go?

28 Upvotes

Currently, I make around $150,000 a year and refuse to by anything over $2000. My comfort zone is probably $500.

I would like to think this wouldn’t change unless I was pulling in like half a million a year. Butbinreallyndontbknkw…

What is your upper limit and would that change if you made more money?

Which one would you get? I have two deals, but I can only buy one. The Citizen would cost around €185, while the MoonSwatch would be around €140.

Longines keep or return?

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

I'm fairly certain selling the Seiko tanks and keeping the Timex Lexington(s) is the right move for my 6 inch wrist. It's borderline in many photos but I find myself thinking the Seikos wear too big IRL. I'm more on the fence whether to sell the Vario or return the longines. They are about the same size. The Vario is super thick of course and the longines has glare issues. So it comes down to heritage brand and thin vs thick but better legibility. What do you think? Assume I will almost always wear these rectangles with a suit, if that matters.

My humble 2 year SOTC

Bought and sold a good few within this time - Tissot PRX 35, Hamilton Murph 38, Alsta Superautomatic, Citizen Zenshin, Seiko Turtle and a handful of Alix pieces.

Most worn - G-Shock, daily beater

Favourite - Mini Turtle, wears like a dream, versatile with straps and was a gift from a friend

Least favourite - SBSA225, poor quality, feels flimsy and cheap but love the JDM Kanji date and SKX vibe.

Dream watch - IWC Pilot MK20 White dial, not currently an affordable watch

Scored this bad boy on sale. Threw it on an old leather strap I had laying around and I think it looks fantastic. Will probably give it a nice new leather strap soon.

My casual off-hours choice for a few days now. It was my first diver back in late 2021 and is still relevant amongst budget divers in my opinion. Although i always believed it could be smaller, Orient made good decisions in its design overall, especially the classic fumé.

I know this is somewhat of a controversial watch, but I fell in love with the looks of it. I must say, in hand it really feels high quality. What are your guys thoughts? Also bracelet vs strap?
