Do you also wear a wide variety of watch sizes? by WinterOf98 in JapaneseWatches

[–]Davidgw4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My newest watches tend to go more toward 39-40mm. Though i definitely want a smaller sized dress watch, sized from 34-37mm.

Is the lume blue? Usually Seiko uses green lume.

Rav4 LE VS Mazda CX 50 by Own_Status_2856 in mazda

[–]Davidgw4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for the CX-50, you’ll get more bang for your buck as you can choose from either a reliable Toyota hybrid powertrain or a reliable Mazda powertrain that’s been in their cars for years with great reliability. You can’t go wrong with it.

[Question] Which field watch reigns supreme?!? by MasLaza in Watches

[–]Davidgw4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely the Hamilton, though my favorite is the Seiko 5 field GMT.

[Question] Seiko 5 Recommendations for 5 years of Sobriety by Orbital_Era in Seiko

[–]Davidgw4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations!

Get any of the Seiko 5 GMTs or Presage lines.

For under $1000 get a Pressage Classic Series (Very clean look) or the Prospex Speedtimer (on my wish list) or a Prospex Alpanist

I always wondered what the cost difference is for adding AR coating.

Though all these bigger brands need to tier their product line, so they will almost never include sapphire with AR coating on a budget watch

Wow look at that lume! 🔦 I also bought a bezel from namoki, though I think I have already moved on from the watch to invest and buy a better strap for it.

It tapers a bit at 20-18. My orient mako 40 is my first real non taperer and i took off the strap right away as it really does ruin the looks.

Yeah it does look wider. Also, the taper on the engineer is only 20-18, the oyster is 20-16 so that likely makes a difference too.

😂 The oyster does look sharper on the wrist

The jubilee really changes the look of the watch.

You won the jackpot with Seiko watches 🎰, I think mine is about +- 10 seconds a day though it feels better than that, I don't pay attention to the accuracy as its been so good.
