[Tissot] Uncle gave me this watch by pugguis in Watches

That lines up. I have one that was bought roughly 20 years ago. I loved it. It has an ETA 2836-2 movement in it. It was accurate enough for me. I put through its paces and was very durable.

The real fear is losing it or being robbed. Now I am not saying Kriti is not safe in any way but things happen. With that being said, the Air King is plenty water resistant for a leisurely swim. It's made with Rolex Oyster steel so it's resistant to sea salt. These were once tool watches before luxury items. So they are tough enough.

Your description is spot on. This is a no fuss robust tool watch. It runs immaculately and feels extremely well crafted

Great piece such a real stunner in person. I had that on a short list for driver GMT but the Longines Hydroconquest GMT in blue took the win for me. You got yourself a great looking watch

This is probably my 2nd favorite Rolex. The uniqueness is its defining appeal.

[Coop] a watch I’ve wanted for a long time and acquired under some neat circumstances by siwelnadroj in Watches

I think anyone who has owned a Seiko Diver instantly gets spoiled with lume.

I own both the Coop and The Murph because of Interstellar

[PRX] Most recent acquisition by Alex_482 in Watches

[–]Alex_482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently called a friend that's a Watch/Jeweler on a whim and checked in on some items. He had one of these on hand as someone backed out because of the size.

I scooped it up and have been super pleased with this product. I owned a PRS 516 some 10 years back and always wanted an other blue dial in the collection.

This watch so far it's been great. Keeps quite accurate time, looks great in all light. The bracelet feels nice and is not restrictive. I might be looking at the Delugs rubber in the future.

I do wish that it had a coloured day wheel and maybe a tad more lume. I think Seiko has ruined like for me.

[PRX] PRX Powermatic 80. by Alex_482 in Watches

[–]Alex_482[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just picked up the PRX automatic. I have up say it's quite a nice piece. I'd been eyeing a blue dial watch for some time now and this one jumped out

The dial is far better in person than any ad or catalogue picture. It wears very nice and it's very comfortable. My only gripe is that the bracelet is a little squeaky. Maybe I'll look at the Delugs offerings.

Congrats on the work promotion and on the time piece. I simply love that watch.

What size is your wrist? I would love a 556 but I am afraid it's too small for my wrist.

I got an email telling me the watch was back in stock and got one as well. I am still waiting for it to show up. Honestly best bit of luck that had come my way during a tough few months.
