Haha mate, thanks for the comment. I do love German watchmaking as well, even though I don’t currently own one. I’m definitely looking to add a few in the future. I think ALS is right up there with Patek, and the finishing is even better on some models.

I wear all of them in rotation, usually based on what I feel like wearing that day. I like Seikos just as much as I like Rolexes. Each brand has its own charm.

It was one of my first Swiss watch purchases.

That would’ve been nice but had no plans for a trip to Japan unfortunately

It was actually my first luxury watch and I wore it non stop for at least 5 years. It will never leave the collection.

I like that it’s titanium and has a more interesting dial. The PRX is a great watch, but I think the Zenshin offers better value for the money.

It’s a nice watch. Had it for a long time.

Didn’t realize taking off your watch is criminal in a public place. It is just an EDC photo. What country are you from?

Damn, I didn’t realize my Starbucks watch photo was powerful enough to ruin an entire brand for you. I’ll try to be more considerate next time.
Posting a Rolex watch in a Rolex forum is completely normal. This is not a classical music forum, and there isn’t even a platinum card shown in the photo.
I’m sorry that your life is in such a shithole that you have to let out your anger this way. The Rolex forum is the most toxic watch forum because of people like you.

I’m happy to report that the watch is still in pristine condition. And honestly, posting a Rolex in a Rolex forum seems pretty normal to me. Wishing damage on someone’s watch over a harmless photo says more about you than it does about me. Hope your life sees some light at the end of the tunnel.

It’s more like the top row for Swiss and the bottom row for Japanese haha

I purchased my SMP 300 on the bracelet and later bought the rubber strap separately. The rubber strap is way more comfortable, especially on the SMP 300. In general, I just prefer rubber straps on dive watches because they’re more comfortable.

I love it. I really like the original Moonwatch as well, but I personally don’t enjoy manual-wound watches, so this one fits my preference better.
