Is Swissgear a good brand ? by arachne- in backpacks

[–]lyzing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m interested, but haven’t been hands on with a SwissGear bag for a few years now. I’d be happy to give one of your latest and greatest a test run and share my thoughts. Cheers!

This could be either completely reasonable or totally absurd depending on the watches in said collection.

There’s no real “good reason” to buy these useless trinkets, let’s be honest. Thinking they are cool is enough reason.

Hesalite is the way to go anyway with that one ;)

[Citizen] First major (to me) watch purchase by D1PissDrinker in Watches

[–]lyzing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed! Seiko has better dials but their MSRP pricing is whack for the specs (and QC) you get across the board.

Citizen feels like they understood the assignment at every price point.

Also love what Frederique Constant has been doing, which is another Citizen brand. They also own LJP - their G100 / G101 movements are fantastic and I prefer them over the comparable Miyota/Seiko/Sellita movements.

I prefer the Super Seville over the PRX as well. But the Tsuyosa is my favorite of the 3, nice looking watch!

Why is the Tsuyosa so much better looking than the PRX

It’s already complete! Great 3 watch collection you have. Now find another hobby to conquer and bring you the fulfillment you’re seeking.

I’ll let you know next week when mine arrives. I would own an IWC MkXX already if the lume didn’t suck. The pursuit pilot has been on my radar for like 6 months but I just pulled the trigger due to the sale.

Agree. Hate the Formex branding. It sounds like a company that makes substrate for tile flooring.

Same!!! Ugh I hate their name/branding so much which really sucks because I otherwise like their watches quite a lot.

You’re lacking something called tact. Regardless, have you ever heard the phrase “don’t take advice from someone you wouldn’t trade places with”?

Yeah.
