Obligatory Wristwatch Thread

[98z28]

The Monta Skyquest finally shipped https://montawatch.com/products/skyquest . It's just as impressive as the Oceanking and Triumph. This is a company to keep an eye on, in my amature opinion.

They do have some QC isues to figure out, though. My Oceanking had to go back twice for dust under the crystal (arrived from the factory that way and came back after repair with a new speck). The Skyquest will have to go back for the same issue. I haven't read any reports on this in other forums, so I suspect I'm just that lucky. Monta has paid shipping and offered goodies each time (throwing in some of their $200+ straps). They are run by a team from an established company that makes high-end straps for Rolex, Everest Horology, so I suspect they'll keep iterating and get better and better. We'll see.

Seiko SNZG15, from Santa [emoji41]
I have several diver style watches, so I wanted something different, more of a field watch look and a thinner case.
This is basically a bigger version (42mm case, I think) of the super inexpensive SNK809, and still only $100ish. I think I'm going to really like it.

Christmas present to myself after a profitable year at work but a shitty year at home

21 years and still going.



Accuracy is still about -1.0 seconds per day, worn daily. This has been pretty consistent since the last service / regulation by the guy at my local dealer here in Tampa last year.

Oh, and my morale patch for 2018 lol.

Damn, that's bling for a daily.

Gotta like Rich’s style though.

I was in the Rolex store in Waikiki last night. EVERYTHING in there was geared toward a rich Chinese (my wife is Chinese, but far from rich). Gaudy colors and bezels galore. Not a single Diver/GMT/explorer/etc to be found. I was wearing a Tudor, and my wife, a Daytona. I think we had the nicest stuff in the store.

My second Ironman in 10 years; the first one still works just got paint on it lol:



This is what I wear shooting. Or going to WalMart.

In 1997 when I bought it, I had to stop and think for a second, I’ll be honest.

I priced a new one at Mayor’s here in Tampa and evidently Gold prices have gone up a bit. It’s my only jewelry, to be honest. I really do wear it almost every day. I’ve even used it Scuba diving in the Caribbean.

I *have* stopped wearing it changing the oil in the car though.
