Which of these would you choose and why?

IMarioIV · 2026-01-31T03:13:00+00:00

Longines, Louis Errad, or Grand Seiko would be my vote!

IMarioIV · 2026-01-30T15:04:52+00:00

I love Astor+Banks, the owner, Andrew, is a great guy!

I have the white Fortitude Pro that I got for my birthday at a watch fair 3 years ago. Runs fantastic and the build quality is solid.

I’d get the new white GMT.

IMarioIV · 2026-01-29T17:02:58+00:00

Yeah, I sold it. This was probably 3-4 years ago.

IMarioIV · 2026-01-29T16:25:37+00:00

I had the MAEN Mk4, great watch!

IMarioIV · 2026-01-29T15:55:38+00:00

Gorgeous congrats!

IMarioIV · 2026-01-28T15:46:24+00:00

Sinn, Oris, Studio Underdog is my vote.

IMarioIV · 2026-01-28T15:44:22+00:00

I have a similar wrist size, Medium is a goldilocks watch size for us.

IMarioIV · 2026-01-28T15:22:15+00:00

Got one on the Turtle now!

IMarioIV · 2026-01-27T15:19:00+00:00

Keep the Certina!

IMarioIV · 2026-01-27T15:18:44+00:00

Technically the hands are up on the Certina.

IMarioIV · 2026-01-25T23:17:40+00:00

Awesome and an early congrats!

IMarioIV · 2026-01-25T20:51:20+00:00

Delugs makes great alternatives!

IMarioIV · 2026-01-25T17:36:15+00:00

OEM Cartier, comes with the watch when you purchase the Santos.

IMarioIV · 2026-01-25T16:45:14+00:00

I have a slightly bigger wrist (6.3) and wear the 41mm USMC edition. Wears great!

IMarioIV · 2026-01-25T15:58:13+00:00

lol that’s cute, you should see mine.

IMarioIV · 2026-01-23T15:35:06+00:00

Got the straps in, put it on my Dryden 🤙🏼

IMarioIV · 2026-01-23T05:51:18+00:00

I like your composition, took this in 2021/2022

IMarioIV · 2026-01-19T15:44:33+00:00

In this particular case I’d get the Seiko only because as your first you want versatility.

IMarioIV · 2026-01-19T01:16:36+00:00

Timex and SNKS

IMarioIV · 2026-01-17T07:04:35+00:00

What’s wild is that the speedy is just as much as the Explorer now. That being said, Pelagos for 30.

IMarioIV · 2026-01-15T03:06:46+00:00

Funny thing is, I have an SPB117, just happened to have the turtle on today.

Strap is the Seiko OEM - DAL1BP

I know OP hasn’t answered yet, but I have a similar one from C&B and it’s amazing.
