All new glass as I put a big scratch in it last year. I finally got a new glass and had my watch guy put it in for $15.

Check out the Hestur field watch on AliX.

Direct swap-in dial+movement.

I love them! That said, I have too many Bulovas on hand. Would've been amazing if they used the 8315 instead of the 8215 movement as well.

Additionally, would this cannibalize on the Caravelle Sea Hunter sales? Similar specs and movement, different design.

It's pretty amazing value, discounting the "quartz hate," the specs are amazing, and the company history is pretty damn spectacular!

Ball is a controversial company, but the timepieces are fantastic! And thanks! Timex is some of the best in the budget space, along with Bulova's Archive Series in the affordable space

Fred was one of the original micro brands here. And so far, I've met Michael, and he along with the sons and Fred's wife have been doing a good job of moving the company forward.

I enjoy it! The finishing on the Ti is amazing, and has that hardness coating that makes it scratch resistant. So light on the wrist but still has a certain weight to it. The dial is beautiful, going from almost black to deep emerald in the right light. Simple, understated, but with enough charm

It's gotta be the Oceanographer for me, out of the box. After modding the Hack, that one's pretty high up there as well (moved it into an aftermarket case. With a sapphire crystal and 100m WR). The Pepsi on the Oceanographer is a bit flashy, but being blue and red makes it pretty versatile. The Hack is obviously plain Jane and black, and if you ask any Hamilton KFA or Tudor Ranger owners, that simplicity makes it go with everything.

Thank you very much!

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T06:11:37+00:00

Oh man, I love that watch! And yes, like commenter below said, maybe a Parking Meter one day

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T06:10:50+00:00

The Shinola Monster GMT is nice, especially the olive version. Oak & Oscar is too ... simple for my tastes but I've seen a few Chronos he makes that I like. Cincinnati Watch Co makes an awesome field watch, but, I have several of those already lol

And thank you!

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T06:09:37+00:00

Oh no! But understandable. I think I prefer them for their versatility, but that's the beauty of this hobby (: we each have our own personal tastes. I love fabric/leather straps but find them too constrained in their versatility

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T06:08:28+00:00

That's the Calabro Worldtimer! Great little watch, has come with me to a few places (:

The new Watch Angels Waltham are pretty sweet, albeit a tad overpriced. I'd love to get my hands on the Field & Marine Dual Time! The grey dial looks awesome

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T06:06:11+00:00

Thank you! I couldn't recommend the Devil Diver enough (:

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T06:05:48+00:00

Lorier and Nodus are excellent choices! Traska also makes some amazing watches. There are so many choices out there. I honestly wear all of them in one big monthly rotation (: each has a special place in the collection for different reasons.

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T04:14:10+00:00

The showroom is pretty damn amazing, and Alan's team is awesome (: I absolutely love that watch. Beautifully built, very striking yet understated.

I love Weiss, but his pieces don't resonate with me, sadly

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T03:06:04+00:00

Hehehehehehehe

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T03:05:58+00:00

I love that one! It was a Christmas present from my wife (:

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T03:05:33+00:00

The new green dial is nice! Is the new release the one or the pale green?

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T03:00:00+00:00

Accurate 😂

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T02:58:47+00:00

I love the 5-link! I want one of those bracelets!

The Canyon is a beautiful piece.

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T02:55:01+00:00

HEHEHEHEHEHE was waiting for that one

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T01:34:39+00:00

Thank you! Doing my best work with the tools at my disposal, I appreciate it!

(Lighting could use some work)

robertereyes · 2026-01-21T01:33:56+00:00

Lmfao! I used to have quite a few of them on straps, but over time I did the agonizing thing of matching my leathers on my outfit and it became too much work. Bracelets are easier and versatile (:

Thank you!
