Forwarded the Seiko deal to other half, looks like I might end up getting one soon too. I've been at a loss for what to tell her for birthday/xmas gifts that don't cost hundreds/thousands of dollars. I used to wear a watch every day for years and years but quit awhile ago when I had wrist issues. Turns out that PC games were the problem though, watches had nothing to do with it. It's been a few years now since I've known that but still haven't bothered to get another watch besides my "nice" fossil worn a few times a year... the Seiko looks good for :scrooge: pricing.

I like it especially because it's a good watch that isn't flashy.

I hate big chunky metal band watches.
I have tiny wrists too so most watches make me look like flavor flav.

That looks cool! That movement doesn't justify that price tag though. This is my daily. Image

nice looking watch, Cool idea, but it would break by brain by having to stop and process it.

:dat:

I dig the design, but not having 12 at the top makes it confusing. Certainly would be a nice accessory and not used as a time piece doe.

Honestly it's pretty easy to read.

One needle, the watch in the photo reads 5:30.
Would take a little to get used to I would imagine, especially if using it in rotation with other pieces.

5.5, 5:30.


The Porsche tach concept makes it even better. Some mahtroy managed to move the Rev limiter up 1000 rpm

On the old air-cooled 3.0's you start to get valve float around 8k rpm IIRC.

Got the seiko today, it looks quite :notbad: in person. It's small enough for my baby wrists, though I still have to wear it on the absolute smallest notch.

The clear back so you can see the gears inside was a neat surprise too. Overall 5/7 for $38.

I got some new strap-ons. Wouldn't mind a shiny leather one for playing dress-up either but these were on sale:

Stock one is definitely more rugged, but with these I can change colors in 30 seconds plus pretend that I'm a NATO soldier. :yeahok:

Nice watch breh.
Dat ish is nice... but those are like a k... :nope:

I like :mahtroy: 's color options. I kinda get the urge to buy a new watch from time to time, but :scrooge: prevails. I wonder if my SHitizen has any resale value, IIRC it was like $300 new (ex bought for me).
