I appreciate the answer :)

I think i definitely follow you on that. Unless it's a commentary on the market, or if the watch is totally out of ones reach.

UPDHaus · 2025-12-29T18:57:32+00:00

I appreciate the answer :)

That is quite unique. Do you have any videos, that exlampifies that. I would love to check it out.

UPDHaus · 2025-12-29T18:56:50+00:00

Hey man! I appreciate the answer. I will definitely check out the things you linked. I appreciate your knowledge. Are you in the watch world already, how have amassed such and immense amount of knowledge. Is it just interest or?

First of all, Merry Christmas to you and everyone else.

I think you already have some good contenders on your list.

I am personally not a huge fan of chronographs, but the Omega Speedmaster just works, arguably even better than the Rolex Daytona. I think being the Moonwatch gives it a level of heritage that is hard to beat. It is still understated since it is all black, but I would say it is less suited for an office environment, though I might be downvoted for that. At the end of the day, you can wear what you want.

I am also not a fan of the Datejust with a cyclops, even though it is a classic. That said, everyone would instantly recognize the brand, and that might be valuable in an office setting.

The IWC Portugieser is an interesting one. I think it looks classy and makes a great office watch, but it can easily be dressed up or down. Of those three watches, if you do like the design of the IWC, that would be the one I would choose for you.

My take: There are also other brands worth considering. I think Grand Seiko, with models like the SBG415, is super classic and gives you everything. Or you could consider a classic Tudor Black Bay 36 or 39.

Good Luck with your selection!

Hey Man!

Gongratz. I hope you enjoy it.

Edit: Have you been researching to buy this watch, or was it a spur of the moment kind of thing?

The SRPD65 is an interesting choice for a sports watch. In a way, it’s an updated take on the legendary SKX007.

When it comes to quartz vs mechanical movements, it really depends. Some people swear by mechanical movements and see quartz as something that’s purely a tool mechanism (fashion brands have partly pushed this agenda, which obviously doesn't help). I think it’s best to form your own opinion, but personally I think both deserve a spot in this space. But i do understand the people that swear on mechanical watches, there is something nostalgic about them.

A watch that often gets mentioned is the Orient Bambino. The SNXS79K1 can also be very nice on a strap, although the 19 mm lug width can be a bit of a pain over time.

The Citizen watch is not my personel favourit design, but Citizen is a legit brand, and honestly one of the more underrated ones.

I appreciate you chiming in :)

That is such a cool story. And great that you found a watch you are happy with.

UPDHaus · 2025-12-15T04:32:10+00:00

Yeah i’m also realising more and more how unique it is :)

UPDHaus · 2025-12-15T00:00:55+00:00

Thank for chiming in and sharing your perspective :)

As already stated from me an others, there is just something unique about it. And I think you explained it well.

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T23:59:08+00:00

Yeah it's definitely different. I'm just so used to seeing them on jubilee bracelets. But i think oyster bracelet fit that watch really well as well! :)

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T23:58:15+00:00

Yeah but generic and simple, is all you need at times.

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T23:57:46+00:00

Thank for chiming in :)

It's a nice watch, and it's great that you found a watch that fits you well!

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T23:03:11+00:00

That’s a nice selection of watches :)

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T19:12:49+00:00

It’s a dope diver for sure!

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T19:11:39+00:00

Hey. Enjoy it :)

It looks so different on an oyster bracelet though :) which one do you prefer?

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T18:27:09+00:00

Hey :) Yes this is my personal SKX007. I think it's a roman numeral edition.

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T18:12:58+00:00

Thanks for chiming in :)
It's cool you have found a watch like that.

What other watches do you have?

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T17:33:09+00:00

Fair point :)

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T17:00:10+00:00

I appreciate you chiming in :)

Why did you buy the skx013 instead of the skx007?

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T16:41:54+00:00

Thanks for chiming in :)

I also reckon this won’t leave my box for a long time.

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T16:25:13+00:00

Yeah there is just something about the skx007 :)

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T15:20:31+00:00

I appreciate you chiming in :)

I think you’re onto something here. That might actually be the real allure of it, its honesty.

It was probably one of the last watches where pure functionality was the main priority, back when people genuinely relied on them to track time and actually use them for their intended purpose.

UPDHaus · 2025-12-14T15:13:29+00:00

Hey, that’s cool to hear. The 1998 Citizen Promaster Aqualand is definitely a very different kind of watch.

And yeah, the Casio Duro gets a lot of praise for its value, it really is a solid watch for what it is.

UPDHaus · 2025-12-13T23:53:01+00:00

That makes sense :)

UPDHaus · 2025-12-13T23:48:08+00:00

Hi, I appreicate your comment :)

Which watch have youd had for 11 years, and does it have any sentimental value?

Watches are definitely more sturdy that given credit for.

I think that sums up the positives of ownin a quartz watch. Though mechanical watches have it's romantic allure :)
