Obligatory Wristwatch Thread

[perlslacker]

I've had a ton of cheap watches over the years and most of them kept decent time. They usually got retired because they got to looking really bad and the crystal was all scarred up. Ironically, the two "good" watches I've owned both died very soon after I got them and they both needed annual repairs until I got tired of paying to keep them going when a Timex worked until it looked terrible.

It depends on what you mean by "good." Lots of watches at entry-level "good" watch prices are crap, like MVMT. Seiko and Citizen should have quartz watches that look good and take a beating while not costing too much.

The No Time to Die Omega was posted yesterday. Titanium case, faux aged look, and $9,200 with bracelet. I don't hate it at all. I really dug the last one, but being closer to an existing model, the '57, it was a little more meh.

Omega does fauxtina very well, though it's not necessarily my thing.

I don't like NATO straps and I'm not a fan of that bracelet though I think it's appropriate to the (effectively faux) military vintage of the watch. Points for the military marking arrow above the 6 o'clock minute index

Having superluminova on the bezel is nice.

It's a new watch that looks like an old watch that never was, to paraphrase a prominent Youtuber of watches.

I like it but I won't buy one.

I'll add that this is the first Seamaster I've seen where the skeleton sword hands didn't immediately turn me off.

I like the aged look, I enjoy when companies add this to their existing models. I don't like that it's 42mm. They couldn't make it 43 or 44?

That's the new design used in the, I believe 2018, line of Diver 300s.

I kinda like them.

You can see mine on post #1890 of this thread for comparison.

That's more their Planet Ocean line.

I think the 42mm size works right for what it is and is meant to be, as I find the proportions of tha dial and hands work well with that size. They do have a Seamaster Diver 300 chronograph sub-line in 44mm that you may like more.

Thanks for the link!

Planet Ocean is nice, but it wears super weird.

I think it's that they're thick but with narrow lug to lug space. Kinda like it's big but it's small at the same time.

Still, I'm going to take a hard look at the planet Ocean GMT, the black and white. You can't beat trying it on the wrist to find out if it's for you.
