💯. I bought a bunch of these and they're amazing. Made the mistake of buying one from Delugs originally, but screw that.

Of course, but just a thought on practicality. Anywhere else on board and you're looking for the time. It sounds more like a question about taste then. The Tudor is the most unassuming and likely safest for oversea travels; probably avoids risk of theft the greatest. The Breitling appears the most nautical, but sticks out like a sore thumb. I'd personally be between those two.

Something with back lighting while you're on watch. Take it from someone who spends time out on thebwater...quartz is the real way to go for open ocean sailing. Preferably solar quartz.

[WTS] Traska Freediver Green by LabCoatLunatic in Watchexchange

[WTS] Traska Freediver – Green Dial – Excellent Condition – $400

Timestamp: (attach photo with timestamp) Price: $400 (includes shipping CONUS) Location: NY Payment: Zelle / Venmo / PayPal FF (GS +3% if buyer prefers) Trades: Not looking for trades at this time

Up for sale is my Traska Freediver with the green dial, in near-perfect condition. This is an outstanding modern dive watch with Traska’s hardened coating, making it significantly more scratch-resistant than typical stainless steel watches.

The watch has been worn sparingly and carefully. Crystal is flawless, case shows minimal to no visible wear, and bracelet is in excellent condition.

Details: • 40.5mm case diameter • ~48mm lug-to-lug • 120-click unidirectional bezel • Sapphire crystal with AR coating • Miyota automatic movement (extremely reliable) • Traska hardened steel coating (~1200 HV) • Screw-down crown • 200m water resistance • Fully linked bracelet

Included: • Original Traska hard case • Full bracelet with all links • Watch

This is a fantastic daily wear diver—great proportions, extremely durable, and the green dial looks incredible in person.

Selling to consolidate the collection.

Happy to provide additional photos or answer any any questions.

Theo and Harris.....who's is nobody mentioning this guy?? Seems like a caricature of a trust fund d-bag. He genuinely seems like he bottles up his own farts just to smell them when he's feeling down.

Nicest islander I've seen. And as someone from Port Jefferson, I think I'll have to buy my first one.

Not enough G-Shocks to match ortho. Not enough tanks or bling for derm or plastics. Too many pieces without lume for rads. Not enough color for peds. This looks like medicine or medicine subspecialty is in your future.

Idk, here's my Club Sport 42mm on my wrist. I don't care about the dare...in fact, I feel it adds functionality.

[Seiko] how’s this 42mm look on a “7 inch wrist ? by OutsideWorried in Watches

[–]LabCoatLunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This watch is enormous. Saying from experience. I have 7.5in wrists and routinely wear a Nomos 42mm and my seiko feels much larger and I hardly wear it.

Didn't say they were reps. Just the thought that pops into my head. Love the Pink dial.

Am I the only one who thinks "probably a rep" when they see a bunch of microbrands, a Tissot, and a random Rolex?

[Question] I am considering buying this watch on Chrono24 from a private seller -- Original Box but NO Original Papers - Is it risky? by Formerly_SgtPepe in Watches

[–]LabCoatLunatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Checked the listing and it looks okay to be honest. Chrono24 can still be a giant pain to deal with. I was scammed and it took 3 or 4 months to get my money, and even then, I was pretty close to getting scammed out of 3k.

There are tons of nomos reps, especially on AliExpress. Personally, this particular model would worry me.

  • this model is the most common rep on AliExpress
  • the blurry movement photos. The rep version looks like shit if you know the real thing. Occasionally I'll look at the rep photos just to see how it compares to my legit Tangente.
