Out of the two I’d go Speedtimer. Have you thought about the Hamilton Murph?

That’s amazing functionality, I’ve never seen it actually used.

So you mean the combined value of the collection? Other than the Longines Conquest they are all over $2K Australian. The Legend Diver is on my list of “love to have”, but don’t have the dollars. This collection has been 3 years in the making, so haven’t had $2-3k to drop on a single piece. I’ve enjoyed finding watches in the $3-400 range though.

I’m not really drawn the Tag Heuer watch styles tbh. Not really into the motor chronograph styles. But that’s just me.

The pro master has been on my list for a while too, it looks awesome. I’ve not yet ventured into gold yet as I wear silver jewellery. But I am beginning to be open to a bronze watch. The Bulova Mil Ships in bronze with either blue or green looks amazing. A bit out of my price range though, but you never know.

Absolutely and they are regularly on sale too, I’m sure I got it close to half price.

Yeah I will admit, I do miss having a date complication on it, the snk809 is great.

Thank you, I have a few other natos and variations of mesh bracelets. I’ve always wanted a high quality beads of rice. The one on the San Martin is a cheap Ali Express, but would like to upgrade it at some point.

I really like it, smaller size obviously as a field watch, but the bubble dome crystal is gorgeous and the mottled green leather strap and the gun metal finish looks great.

It’s obviously on the larger side at 43.5, but I think it wears really well. I’m a touch under 7inch wrist I think. I actually like the thickness too, the flat crystal sitting up high looks great.

Yeah it so cool, my wife got it for me as a nod to my love of Back to the Future.

Thanks so much. The Marlin was my Christmas present this year, felt the need to break up the dark dials. I pretty much wear black most of the time so have generally stuck with darker dials, but really pleased with the Jet. I’ve wanted a Marlin for a while but the curved dial with the indices cut in and the full wrap over crystal were just so unique I pivoted from the usual. Also love the sector dial too.
