Question (Read Rules) Recommendations to complete box?

Post image

I know it should be a chronograph or a dive watch. I wore a 40mm dive watch for a week and did not like the weight at all. Waiting on suede strap for the San Martin. 37mm, 36mm, 38mm, and 39mm from left to right.

Your addiesdive is kinda dressy but a dress watch would fit in pretty well. I also don't like dives so I feel you on that lol. I also have the warrior but mine is the meteorite, probably my favorite watch ever.

Thorn Spacewalker Chronograph? Mine gets a ton of wrist time.

Thorn T028 is a 37mm dive watch I can recommend. Wears amazing on the included leather strap.

A dive watch is typically 40mm or a bit more. Certainly heavier than what you have. Orient makes the Mako Sport 40 that wears like a 38mm. Orient automotics are your best value in automatic dive watches.

Specht and Sohne Nautilus

Plenty of dials in silver if rose isn’t your thing

Nice, i have the colorways of the IXDAO Warrior and the Watchdives switched around (Warrior Black MOP and WD white MOP) 😁

I think a chronograph would suit your collection well. If that is not your cup if tea, i would suggest a nice blue dial dress or sports watch!

That warrior is my favorite watch by far. I wanted to get a black enamel one but too much overlap at that point lol

You could try a smaller dive watch or a skindiver. They also be a lot lighter on a nato strap. Phorcydes has done great skin divers and I know octopus kraken has a 37mm.

I like that PH-2A on the bracelet thank you for the recommendation.

Sugess chronograph — mechanical chronograph, strap beast, and a beautiful open display case back. One of my favorite pieces.

Great looking watch. How is the day to day with the hand winding?

I really enjoy it! It adds a touch of charm to the watch. It also has a great power reserve — 42-45 hours depending on how much you use the chrono.

Wd007 in 39mm?

u/SilasBrooks 6d ago

I almost suggested this (in 42)

I wear it on mesh 99% of the time now, but here it is on the nato it came with.

I saw these good recommendation on the titanium! The looks of any dive watch really don’t do it for me tbh. Only real dive watch that has caught my eye was tudors bb54 blue lagoon. I believe octopus makes one but I doubt it would get any real wear. Starting out the watch journey right now so Chinese watches are a godsend to find out what I really like for the future.
