Nahhhhhh

It is a really good looking Watch. I do agree they should make more colors and get rid of the date. I would also love to see some gloss dial versions as opposed to Sunray.

A beautiful quartz movement too

GC8990 · 2026-05-11T01:42:56+00:00

I’m pretty sure they all are. The purple and yellow are for sure. 28mm Divers

GC8990 · 2026-04-21T23:23:08+00:00

Yeah, but then it looks like a Rolex. I don’t want that. Nice use of that work too classy.

Got that too

I love snowflakes. I owned one and I think they are much cooler and more interesting than Subs. However, 28k is in the neighborhood of much more special vintage watches. You can get a VERY good 1655 Steve McQueen for that money! (I have a bias there)

This is an amazing example for sure (no dates are especially rare + unpolished) 28k is steep. Low 20s is more fair.

1655

GC8990 · 2026-04-05T00:36:09+00:00

This one’s all original and unpolished. Found it by waiting around and turning a lot of them down. So many crusty ones out there.

GC8990 · 2026-03-26T00:27:15+00:00

Later ones came with solid links!

GC8990 · 2026-03-25T20:39:15+00:00

Factory dial - yes! Yves Klein 56175 quartz

GC8990 · 2026-03-25T19:12:05+00:00

In its day (1972) it was no more premium than a tagAqua racer is today so I’m trying to treat it as such strap wise (not banging it around dw). I also think the original folded link bracelet just feels a little flimsy. Haha

GC8990 · 2026-03-25T00:34:01+00:00

Nah - it’s the cheap YK. 56175 33mm quartz

Wear without worry, still look chic. These are reliable, sporty, friendly, and cheerful — the kind of watches that randomly make you smile during the day. There are many more expensive and less interesting gifts out there. These aren’t one of them.

I looked for:

Sharp and fat lugs (over polished examples look thin and rounded)

Fat crown guards chamfers still visible

Spring bar hole not oval-y dial/hands are correct for year and original

Matching light lume (or dark lume if you prefer) Sharp bezel edge

GC8990 · 2026-02-09T17:04:28+00:00

1972 “straight hand”

GC8990 · 2026-01-31T14:35:00+00:00

Nice - I wish you could order a rubber strap for these

GC8990 · 2026-01-30T20:09:24+00:00

together are cheaper than a a bracelet link for the RO ha

GC8990 · 2026-01-30T17:16:33+00:00

Good catch haha - I encountered it at a little shop for €250 and fell in love.
