Hi everybody! Sorry if I screw anything up here, I made an account so I could ask for your advice on what watch to buy for my nephew. He has a very small collection of watches, and has liked watches before in my price range, so I think I can surprise him without hurting my wallet too bad-- if...

Which should I get, a seiko 5 (SRPD71) or a Glycine combat sub (GL0083)? From my own perspective the main reason i’d get a glycine in perhaps better build quality? but mainly for the movement. In contrast I like the seiko for the glass back and the mesh strap. The price difference im looking at...

Hi everyone, I have got £200-£300 to spend on a watch. I have had a look at some watches but don't really know what I'm looking for. I'd rather buy a watch from a renowned watch brand rather than a high street fashion brand (Hugo Boss, Tommy Hilfiger etc.) From the watches I've seen, I like...

Hi Everyone! With the thousands of watches out there, my checklist sounds simple enough, but when it comes down to it, the options surprisingly start to dwindle. 1) Must be under 40 MM. No exceptions. 2) Must have a black or blue dial with nothing more than an hour, minute, second hand...

I know there are loads of these recommendation threads on the forum, and I've been perusing them for the past week or two, but am still finding myself a bit lost for options. A bit of context / backstory: My wife and I have a tradition of buying eachother watches for our birthdays - it cuts out...

Hey all, I've been looking at the Serica Commando for a while. Really cool setup with the bonklip. However, I just don't want to spend that much on one ($600+). I came across the Seiko SCXP155 today, and it's really similar--particularly the dial layout with the "crosshair" hash marks and arabic...

Hello everyone! Seeing as how my last post had so much activity, I was hoping we can have another! I have been wracking my brain trying to think of what to add as the third piece of my collection. I am obviously minimalistic, having only two watches right now, but would like a third more "GADA"...

I'm recently smitten by the Seiko Presage 'Castle in the Sky'. Its colors and lettering evoke a pleasant vintage/fantasy aesthetic that I would like to see more of. What watches have a similar aesthetic?

Hello, I know i have a very modest collection compared to a lot of you guys but I am starting to expand my collection and got rid of a couple fashion watches (I got these when I was a student). I am looking to get two watches in the future: A nice dress watch and a nice sporty blue watch...

I haven't made a significant watch purchase in a while and I'm starting to get interested again. I've been thinking I'd like my next purchase to be a step up from what I currently have (see below). I like textured dials and I like blue. My ideal size is 36mm - 38mm but I'm willing to go up to...

Just bought a panarai from Chris. Extremely easy guy to work with. My watch was in great condition and I plan on doing more business with him in the future.

Hi, can anyone recommend a bracelet for seiko sportura ssf007 gps solar watch? The movement number is 8x22. The original seems to be over $200. I need a seiko bracelet that would fit this watch at a reasonable price. It is 22mm lug. Any suggestion is appreciated. thanks

Hi everyone I hope some of you can help me with my doubts. I want to make a birthday gift to my husband, he's becoming a watch enthusiast (but still without a watch). He has small wrist, so I am looking a 38.5 mm or 35 mm. My budget can go until $ 2000. After two days of deep searching in...
