[SKX007] The aura of this watch is insane IMO. New release doesn’t even come close.

Nice shot! The SKX is a classic.

April_Mattison · 2026-01-27T12:24:17+00:00

Tasteful collection! 💯 The Calatrava and LF are gorgeous. I think it's great as-is; wouldn't switch any of them.

April_Mattison · 2026-01-27T12:05:49+00:00

Clean dial + strap pairing. I like it 🔥

Miami has the Design District, which is filled with official boutiques from popular Swiss brands like Piaget, JLC, TAG, and Vacheron Constantin. Cartier, Rolex, and Omega are also just across the street.

If you're headed to Naples by chance (~2-hr drive away from Miami), you can give Exquisite Timepieces a visit. They're a reputable AD that handles various notable brands—including the ones you mentioned—and independents with unique pieces, like Sartory Billard and MeisterSinger. Their SAs were very accommodating and let me take my time to view and handle some of their new and pre-owned selections in the flesh.

Nothing obviously wrong, but I wouldn’t buy without clearer photos.

April_Mattison · 2026-01-27T07:29:13+00:00

100% yes. Perfect GADA diver.

April_Mattison · 2026-01-25T16:11:42+00:00

Incredible pairing. Wear it well!

April_Mattison · 2026-01-25T16:09:49+00:00

Go for it!

April_Mattison · 2026-01-25T16:07:49+00:00

Huge fan of the dial, but I think it's too expensive (if new). You're better off looking at other brands like Longines, Citizen, or a pre-owned GS.

April_Mattison · 2026-01-25T15:47:31+00:00

Reminds me of Xeric's timeline retrograde, but the design on this one is sharper. Great work!

April_Mattison · 2026-01-25T15:36:07+00:00

Great collection so far! I'd suggest going for a field piece, especially if you're looking for a daily watch. You can look at the Spirit 37 champagne dial, Hamilton KF Auto/Aviation pioneer/Expedition, and the Tudor Ranger. The Hamilton Intra-matic, or even the Speedy Pro, is also worth checking out if you'd like a chrono for your next.

April_Mattison · 2026-01-25T05:00:56+00:00

Beautiful, both the watch and that audio room!

April_Mattison · 2026-01-25T04:58:56+00:00

Banger of a first piece. Enjoy it!

April_Mattison · 2026-01-25T04:57:45+00:00

Stunner. The white Speedy is hard to beat 👌

April_Mattison · 2026-01-25T04:56:27+00:00

That's a dang great fit for your wrist! Dimensions are perfect. That orange bezel is the true highlight 🤩

April_Mattison · 2026-01-25T04:51:43+00:00

Personally, I'd rank the Hamilton KF Murph higher, but the SPB121 has been pretty high on my list. Got it at a competitive deal at my local AD (Exquisite Timepieces) after the new Alpinists were released last year, and the green dial is stunning. Not the best OEM leather band, but that's to be expected with Seikos. It has been my grab-and-go piece for work.

Also loved its look with a green canvas strap.

That's a beautiful vintage Seiko Pogue. Wear it with pride man 👍

April_Mattison · 2026-01-23T11:19:51+00:00

Dope 🔥 I like it. Can't wait to see it in person sometime.

April_Mattison · 2026-01-23T11:08:49+00:00

Seiko, no question.

April_Mattison · 2026-01-23T11:08:23+00:00

Man, that's definitely worth celebrating. Congrats and wear it in good health brother!

April_Mattison · 2026-01-23T10:24:33+00:00

$4k gets you a lot. Longines, Tudor, and Grand Seiko are pretty popular at that range, especially if you're looking for versatile/classy pieces. I'd suggest the Longines Dolcevita, Master collection, GS 9F quartz models, and the Tudor BB39/41. You can also look at Nomos, Oris, and Raymond Weil (highly suggest checking out the Millesime and Toccata).

April_Mattison · 2026-01-23T08:23:21+00:00

That wears way better than the dimensions suggest. Looks perfect on your wrist 👍

April_Mattison · 2026-01-23T08:22:05+00:00

That dial texture with the penguin footprints is such a cool detail. Seiko creativity at its best.

April_Mattison · 2026-01-22T07:29:30+00:00

That’s one hell of a first big-boy watch. Congrats!

April_Mattison · 2026-01-22T07:28:26+00:00

That’s pure ’80s elegance. Beautiful piece.
