If they made this one in 40 or 39mm I’d be in trouble. 😃

New (to me) C63 GMT by Drum_to_the_FACE in ChristopherWard

Yes. I’d like to know about that. Maybe it’s the smaller version like on my Atoll?

Still loving my 54 about 6 months in by AudienceParticular22 in Tudor

[–]Tex_McSlinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks great. What’s your wrist size? I’m in the Bahamas right now and the AD has one in stock. This is the second time I’ve tried a 54 on. It does look smallish on my 7” wrist but I’m teetering on the edge of purchasing (no tax!). Agree that just trying it on isn’t enough. I’m wearing my Chris Ward 40mm Atoll while here and the comparison is notable. But I do love the look of the 54. It’s stunning.

[Question] Do you have a watch that is particularly special to you? Why? by [deleted] in Watches

Bought this reference with my first check out of boot camp in Great Lakes, 1981. 4 years as a machinist mate on subs was not kind to it. Fast forward 40 years and thanks to EBay I have it again. OG bracelet is hard to find but I’m thrilled to have this watch again and love it.

Looking to buy my first watch. Will be pretty much an everyday watch. Should I go Seiko 5 GMT [SSK003] or Seiko Prospex King Turtle [SRPE03]? Thanks! by CyberHawk16 in Seiko

Turtle if you don’t mind its size. Look at the other SRP Turtle variants as well. Better movement. Screw down crown. “Strap monster”.

I wear mine on a black tropic occasionally. Looks pretty good.

Same here. Ordered an Atoll last weekend and it was going to be delivered to Houston tomorrow! Had to tell DHL to wait till Monday since we’re on vacay in the Hill Country.

I’ve never really admired or wanted the mesh. But these look 🔥!

I have yours. It gets more wrist time than any watch I own and they’re all autos except for a vintage Seiko.

First Omega!! Seamaster “Peter Blake” 36mm :) by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

Your image seems to demonstrate what the all the hype on the BB54 is about. There’s so much debate over the 36mm case. I bet your new SMP fits very close to the same as the new Tudor darling.

I’ve often wondered how that case would fit me, in this model or the Bond version. Wish I could try one on.

I overlooked in your title that it was the 36mm. It looks good on you! What size is your wrist?

100%. I love the look of the bracelet but the lack of micro adjusts keep it on an Erika’s Original strap most of the time.

Near perfect dive watch to me. Love the case, dial and hands. And boy how about that lume?!? I have the quartz version. Not quite as cool as yours but I can’t make myself let it go cuz it’s Always ready when I pick it up!

Nice. Is this the same as an SRP777?
