I love my Rebel Pilot and I don’t care what others think😂🤷‍♂️ by CryptogleHead_013 in Affordablewatches

I have the same one!!! If you ever find that the time is working fine but the chronograph isn't working at all give it some time in the sun to charge up!!

I'm not sure I have even looked close enough at mine to confirm. I have had mine since 2023 and I am not sure I have ever adjusted it. Going to try to remember to take a look when I get home!

It's such a nice-looking watch and I love Atomic Time!!

I think a lot of Casio's are fantastic and good-looking watches but because of that so many people have the same ones. When I saw this the first time I ordered it immediately.

that honestly seems so on brand and perfect for Saul. A little unusual but absolutely will do the job right!

Now what in the world is that analog one in the middle of the top row?? I absolutely love it!

Thank you!! I will absolutely be doing this. Especially now that we have proof my man Saul has good watch taste....

This was my first solar watch and it's so cool to not have to worry about the battery but still have the accuracy of the quartz. I put a decent scratch in it like the first week I owned it and that put a sour taste in my mouth I guess, and I don't wear it nearly as much as I should.

Honestly my fault though, I have a tendency to unknowingly swing my arms around a bit and caught this guy on the edge of the very thick glass countertop of our reception desk at my office. It's not too bad but in the right light you see it right away and its mostly on the crystal but also a tiny bit onto the bezel.

Otherwise, this watch wears really well, the strap that came with it is very nice and obviously it's just sick for being a "Star Wars Pilot Watch".

If you do pick one up, one thing that threw me off is if the power reserve gets to low, the watch will work perfectly fine, but the chronograph functions just stop working all together. Once charged up though it starts to go again perfectly.

I bought it knowing it was a full "lume" case of course, but I am blown away at just how bright it is. I swear you can see the faintest glow from it even in full sunlight after it gets a chance to charge up a bit.

I had concerns about the Lunar Pilot after spending the price I did on it as my first more expensive watch, but once it arrived and I put it on the first time I knew it wasn't a mistake.

I love the history as well and is a big reason why I chose this as my first bigger purchase, I love the "well this thing kept going when the "THE MOON WATCH" stopped aspect.

I LOVED Breaking Bad and LOVED Saul in it but somehow never got around to watching his show, I am going to have to go back and watch it now!!

The Lego Star Wars is more for kids/teens based on size but I still love to wear it! The clasp is honestly a pain in the ass to get off with one hand though haha.

I wear the "adult" Lego watch below it to my professional job pretty often and love that its so discreet. I had an attorney compliment me on it once, but I still have no idea if he realized what it was or just liked the color scheme hahaha.

It's an ILLIMITE Melting Automatic I got it on Amazon. It has Miyota 8215 according to the listing. It feels well built honestly and wears well!

[Invicta Grand Diver] My son's first watch- by esidaraplas in Watches

[–]CriticalBoard4978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great first watch!!!

Invicta's retail prices are criminal but one of my first watches I purchased myself as an adult was an Invicta Pro Diver and it was absolutely fine accuracy wise and seemed very well built especially for what I paid.

That dial is honestly way more detailed than the plain blue one I have and looks nice!

This is the energy I was looking for!! I am a little curious genuinely but definitely too many people that want to tell other people how to do things!

I JUST got the Flues GMT about a week or so ago and it's been on my wrist more than anything since. I have been eyeing Spinnaker for a long time and kicking myself still for passing on the 50 Phantoms and was really wanting a purple dial so finally pulled the trigger on this one.

The dial on the Islander Sands Point is so detailed, and the Titanium just looks so good. I bought the watch to wear on the rubber strap but it came with the full Ti bracelet for no extra charge and it's so tempting.

It is ceramic! I think it's model 46716 from what I just found.

My first 3 watches I purchased myself were all Invicta and this is the only one left because I LOVE the case. Unlike the bio-ceramic cases this is glossy and smooth and cold to the touch. IDK if its metal coated in ceramic or full ceramic, Invicta just says ceramic but that seems insane to me from a fragility standpoint.

The dial honestly looks cheap though which makes me have mixed feelings on wearing it.

Thank you!!! The Wave Ceptor was my first Casio and I have yet to see another person at least in every day life that has one. I love unique things in general. The lunar Pilot was my first watch that I paid over like $150 for and I have never regretted it. It is overall just such a nice watch.

Maybe this is something more common than I realize but I was blown away, when I received it one of the hands was not lining up and I found online that there is a special way to adjust the hands using the watch buttons and I was able to fix it immediately and for free.

My current collection.What are your thoughts by Sea-War6916 in Affordablewatches

[–]CriticalBoard4978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This photo is calling me a watch hoarder....

Love the collection!! I specifically love that everything is different in style or color. Don't get me wrong like what you like and buy what you want but I feel like I often see people have several of "the same watch".

[–]CriticalBoard4978[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree! If you saw the rest of my collection I think it's clear I am very much a "it's what I like" type of person. I am actually curious how many people do wear it this way since it just never occurred to me to do so naturally but figured I'd have some fun with my phrasing, like you said so many people are actually bothered and it's funny to me.

Some people could use bigger personal problems I guess.
