The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[Matt]

Update: one more Sistem 51 today with 3 more en route. I was reading a Hodinkee article from 2016 when Swatch first release Irony modes with the Sistem 51 and apparently those and subsequent models are supposed to be serviceable which is a pretty big deal. I’m not sore of plastic models are or if the Blancpain models are though. I’d love to get one of those but I don’t want to pay $400+ and I can’t be surethe ones priced well on eBay are real.

I’m still loving these…

@long_john86 Great choice! (Un)fortunately no one is the "one Seiko guy" ;). They're like guinea pigs, you cannot just have one :).

@long_john86 cool watch! I had several Seikos and they all were great even a vintage one that ran pretty well after a service. Enjoy it! It probably won't be your last one

@Matt they look so cool. Had the chance to buy a moonswatch in the verona store last year but hesitated what I now regret a little.

[Matt]

I love my mine. They’re def out there if you still want one

[FlavourFade]

Yeah we plan to go back to verona in june and maybe I will pay swatch a visit

I recently purchased my first automatic after tripping and falling down the timepiece rabbit hole listening to podcasts on my way to The One Moto show.

I picked up this Makers Knot AT-38 from another forum. The seller was awesome and gave me a great deal on it, it also came fully serviced with timegraph specs, original box and strap

Fun Watch

[Matt]

Agreed.

@MQR That's super cool, love the colours of the dial

[Matt]

Another Hodinkee model. The face is actually a very soft grey that is really nice and the font of the numbers is neat. Got this and the green Hodinkee one for a combo deal that was too good to pass up…

[Matt]

Here’s the green with a blue California dial, pink accents and lime green hands. I’m already looking at my next one of these. Love them so much.

@Matt what's amazing about the Sistem 51 is that it is the first and only mechanical watch completely manufactured with an automated production (no human hand needed!)

[Matt]

I love everything about them. I like that the inside is hermetically sealed as well so even though it may not be serviceable there shouldn’t be much need for it. And all the pieces are held together with just the center pin.

very cool Casio I saw in an old watch shop in Harajuku

[Giles]

For USD33, I'd have bought it

[Matt]

A little Swatch love today with this 90’s Scuba 200 model…

[RobeOfTheMagi]

There's always the time in the year when I don't want to wear anything other than the GOAT:

Timex today

@RobeOfTheMagi haha God Tier! Ive got a few F91W and love em. SO cheap too

[jiminstitches]

I picked up a few Sugess mechanical chronographs, These were only £150 each and I’m amazed at the quality. Realistically I’m not gonna get these serviced as it will cost more than the watch. Any one got any of these?
