Picked up a SARB017 and SARG011 last year. First 'real' automatic watches for me, as I decided I would stop wearing my Garmin Forerunner daily. Then of course my work started a step challenge for the year, and the watches promptly went in the drawer so I could use my smart watch to track my steps.

Can anyone recommend a good watch winder? Being able to wind both would be awesome, but otherwise I wouldn't mind swapping them out every day or something.

They are pricey but I use Orbitas

Damn @Giles , love this - bringing out the heavy! I had a Deep One back in the day but stupidly sold it to fund something else.

Sold my Oris Carl Brashear & Seiko SLA019 and bought this GS SBGH255. Just opened the box. It sits better than the SLA019 on my 7” wrist, and the Ti makes it very reasonable in weight.

Picked up a nice Pelican case for watch storage.  Standard peli case but with a custom cut interior for storing 6 x watches.  The company who sell these in the UK are called Case Farm and they sell other size cases for storing up to 10 watches in.

Nothing stopping you making your own inserts for a Peli style case, there seems to be quite a few foam options that you can cut to shape yourself.

Mother-in-law’s birthday tonight, wearing my favoritte watch.

[scarfmace]

quick question: I have the opportunity to buy an Oris ProDiver Titan Chronograph at a great price.
It has everything I'm looking for: its Ti, easy to handle when I have gloves or greasy hands, a chrono and a bezel. The only 'downside' is that its quite big because its 1000m water resistant and therefore an obvious dive watch. Since I don't dive, I worry people might think its a bit overkill to have a big watch like this on when not in the water. What do you guys think? Should I go for it or keep looking for something else?

[JDelage]

I don't think people are going to think very strongly one way or another, but you might get tired of wearing such a brick on your wrist.

I'm used to wearing GShock and Big Pilots so that shouldn't be an issue.

A great deal is never a deal if you don’t love what you’re buying.  If you love it (go for it).  If you only kind of like it, hold off and get what you want.

[scarfmace]

your right, I love it and shouldn't care what others think 

[Giles]

BOOM

This is the right answer.

For the record, I wear a stupidly large watch every day and no one has ever commented on it, so you'll probably also be fine in that regard.

[Giles]

That may be because you are in Texas, so could be carrying a multitude of things that could do damage…..

[Manticore]

The weight is probably not as big a factor anyway since it's Ti. I have a Breitling Emergency in Ti which is absolutely massive but wears very comfortably.

As you say @scarfmace , wear what you love. I'd be surprised if more than 5% of people who own dive watches even get them wet on the regular.
