Love the intricate detail in the Moritz' dials. Hate the bands.
have wanted to buy a decent watch for a while. as i posted previously i wanted a no date rolex sub; however it'd be a huge faux pas to wear to work and i want something i can wear everyday.
never really considered seiko before but i really like this watch, the black seiko sumo. anyone got any thoughts on it? think it's a similar aesthetic to the sub without being seen as a rolex ripoff. also pretty reasonably priced around $500-600.
Why is it a huge faux pas?
haters gonna hate.i work in a (relatively) junior role in professional services where clients are paying time-based fees.
to be in a meeting with a paying client wearing a $9-10k watch isn't a good look.
also not a good look in front of your own boss.
I was worried about the price of the yacht club but after taking the plunge I have never regretted it.
Interesting since the seiko discussion on this page.good call kfc1
I've decided I want to learn to make a watch
I have done a bit of googling on the idea and think it may be feasible but am not overly sure.
Will it be prohibitively expensive? I don't want to need to buy thousands of dollars worth of equipment just to make a handful of watches for family and friends. I expect there will be some sort of equipment to buy but I'd like to keep it to under $500, plus then the cost of parts, and then obviously the time required to learn and build one... Am I going to go through loads of parts (and $$) before I successfully make my first watch. I have no idea whether $500 is even in the ball park of what I'm going to need.
I have good motor skills and hand eye co-ordination, but thanks to years of tearing up the weekend I don't have the steadiest of hands. This might be an issue.

After seeing that one in the post you're replying to, I asked my wife to buy me one for Christmas, it's gorgeous.
I can dream. One day.

How do people feel about the apple watch? Oh one hand I had a Garmin vivosmart that gave me smart notifications and I loved it - so I think I'd enjoy the apple watch.
On the other hand I have a regular watch which needs everyday wear for the battery. It's also redundant to not wear a smartwatch everyday with reminders and whatnot.
So I kind of feel like I can never have a smartwatch haha. Apple should look into making like a smartband. Something that enables both to be worn simultaneously. Or maybe I'll get the apple watch and face the screen on my wrist so it looks like a band, Anyone else interested by the concept of the apple watch but annoyed they can't get it? Or have both and have made it work?
