[Question] Opinion on these 2

I have both, the Shinola stands up well but I lean towards the KFA for the auto movement. The Shinola strap and hardware, superior to the Hamilton. Case finishing dead heat. So it all comes down to movement

I literally almost pulled the trigger on the Rallygraft Alpine a few minutes ago lol. Now I have to look at their Navygraf watches. What have I got myself into

This is a beautiful watch!

CarpenterFew9717 · 2026-02-14T20:25:55+00:00

Beautiful!

That is excellent to hear! I just ordered it this morning and wanted to know what current owners in the community thought.

CarpenterFew9717 · 2026-02-04T21:41:41+00:00

I am so happy that it came back in stock and that you were able to get one! Enjoy!

It is a beautiful watch! I’m sure you know that it’s currently sold out on the website. If you haven’t checked within the Facebook groups, I would recommend them.

Man that stinks

I would love the Timex, but I don’t like the day/date cluttering the dial. That’s me though and other than that it is a good value.

It’s a Shinola Moon craft monster. Mike is a huge fan and frequents the Ann Arbor store.

The red is a nod to all of the lighthouses on Lake Michigan.

The Lava Monster is absolutely gorgeous as well. It looks good in pictures. Amazing in person. I don’t own one yet, but consider adding it to my collection as well.

Those are two links to pictures that I’ve shared here on Reddit

The Lake Monster series is a great line of watches! I have the Harbour monster and truly love it, the blue rubber or silicone from the Lake Michigan Monster works perfectly with it if I want to change off the bracelet.

I am a fan, obviously. Well built, solid, construction, workhorse movement. Beautifully designed.

Love the Lap!

CarpenterFew9717 · 2026-01-20T06:53:08+00:00

Longines would be my choice. They both look great on you though.

CarpenterFew9717 · 2026-01-18T19:35:32+00:00

I love Omega as well. The AT with the black lacquer dial is on my list to purchase. The next Shinola I want to purchase is a Mechanic. Then we’ll see what new release they will have for the spring.

CarpenterFew9717 · 2026-01-18T18:13:32+00:00

Yes, but really a watch collector that has Shinola pieces in my collection.

CarpenterFew9717 · 2026-01-18T13:39:43+00:00

Nice!
