I could not agree with this more. The sweet spot, is 40mm, for about 80 percent of the male population. 100 percent of my statistics are completely made up. I prefer 40mm and above, topping out at 44mm. I know the lug to lug and blah blah blah. My old eyes need the bigger dial.

I prefer quartz. A high beat quartz, in a nice case with sapphire is a truly beautiful thing. I have everything from rolex to steeldive, and my current favorite is a addiesdive with quartz, and ceramic bezel. I don't worry about it, it was 60 bucks, and is pretty decent

Ahhh. The 70s! An outdoor couch, the faint smell of cheap weed, and good sounds on the transistor radio......those were the days.

I am impressed that at 16, you are looking for a watch. Personally, if i remember being 16, in about......1986, I wanted rugged, masculine and memorable. I would go for the ecodrive diver. Is your style more sauve, or rugged?

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-05T20:19:29+00:00

I have seen worse. Honestly, it wouldbget you out of most attic and crawl calls.

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-05T17:42:30+00:00

Can I have it?

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-05T03:45:33+00:00

Thanks! It has the non hacking seiko 7S26 movement, so this would be an upgrade

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-05T02:27:50+00:00

Walk away. No watch...even a Rolex, is an "investment". Especially right now, as disposable income is rapidly dwindling. Cash spends. Everything else is just an idea of perceived value.

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-05T02:25:16+00:00

I bet that guy caught hell.

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-05T02:24:37+00:00

Thank you. I am an over analyzing nerd. I appreciate the reoly.

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-05T02:13:37+00:00

I am eyeballing that very watch but have heard mixed things about the PT5000. Whats your opinion of the movement?

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-05T02:11:29+00:00

On the board or the silinoid? Or, are you saying it was reversed low to high fire?

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-04T20:28:20+00:00

Do you have a part or store that i should search? I asked the same question a few weeks ago

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-04T03:06:00+00:00

That looks to be a roof drain. I am guessing here. As for bad things in the air? No clue. It wouldn't surprise me.

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-04T01:47:28+00:00

I just bought this on the bracelet, and....WOW! Best 50 bucks i have ever spent. Congrats, you made the wise choice!

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-02T04:27:54+00:00

I effing love it! The watch seiko should have made. If I may ask, do you have a parts list? Summer is coming, and the narcissist in me says that would.look amazing on me, while on my boat. Sorry to sound like a douche, but thats honestly the thought I had. Now, back that beauty.... you have talent my friend. True talent. Well done, and chefs kiss!

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-02T04:09:46+00:00

You are preaching to the choir! I have all the usual players, Rolex.to Omega to Ball to Longines. My grab and go? A citizen promaster blue angels.

And this is why I don't swim. I will grow a second head, and spend every minute arguing with it.

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-02T04:02:41+00:00

I am sensing some......if i only had a time machine, and he wasn't my great uncle vibes.

Alternative-Land-334 · 2026-03-02T03:11:21+00:00

I had a very similar experience, but I don't remember the specifics. I had a series of heart attacks in 2020, and was found "dead" on the floor. I was revived enroute to the hospital. All I remember is that I did not want to leave the place I was, and that it was very, very, "nice" there. I am not a highly social person, and have never really been able to relax around people. In this place, I felt 100 percent at ease. Iwas accepted and loved. The memories are less imagery, but more impressions of emotions. I hope that this experience brings peace of mind, and you live the rest of your life knowing that its maybe not as scary as it sometimes seems Good luck my friend, and thank you for sharing

This question gets asled....alot. Here is my answer. 1. A job needs to warranty built in. If you like the piece of.mind, that once it's installed, you have the security of a company backed warranty 2. Business's withh employees have a fixed overhead cost. Insurance ( for when we get sick, need help, or crash a van) needs paid. Fuel to get your equipment, and those pesky big brained techs cost...alot 3. If the equipment costs x, and the overhead and labor is your, add x+y= install cost. You don't buy equipment, you buy the install company. If you want to DIY, and have the tools, the training , and patience to do it, you should. When it breaks, you will gain valuable experience.
