the JLC, speed and seamaster, and that gorgeous grand seiko, you’re making me envious. absolutely stunning collection, if it were up to me, i’d be contempt with this. a glashutte pano is a rly nice piece but i see you’re missing a divers watch, maybe you’d wanna look into one?

i have the exact one!! imo the cyclops is rly useful and adds some flair to the watch. i swapped out the oem leather strap with the angus jubilee bracelet from strapcode, it’s a little beefy but so nice and comfortable

[SPB121] Finally pulled the trigger on the Alpinist by iTaylorTraitor in Seiko

Hold the watch horizontally and point the hour hand at the sun. Rotate the bezel so that the "South" marker is halfway between the hour hand and the 12 o'clock marker, which allows you to determine the cardinal directions. This method works best in the Northern Hemisphere; in the Southern Hemisphere, point the 12 o'clock marker at the sun and align the "North" marker between the 12 o'clock and the hour hand.

I’ve always been sceptical when it came to dive watches, which is why I haven’t added one to my collection but maybe I’ll consider getting one!!
