It’s very comfortable, it’s got a super slim face and a nice leather band

Seiko is a good next step. I’d also maybe look into something like a Hamilton, or one of the <$1k microbrands.

That was my idea go seiko or orient and get a nice diver…kamasu is pretty

[–] dplafoll@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Good call. The Kamasu is one of the best entry-level mechanical divers out there. I have the Mako II and really like it, so I’d definitely recommend an upgraded model with a better movement and a sapphire crystal.

Citizen BM8180-03E , bonus points for adding a leather strap.

Apparently I didn’t write enough in the post so here; the Bulova was a gift from my uncle and the first watch I owned. I’ve been told it was made sometime in the 30’s and the the band that it’s on was made by my uncle who’s a leather worker. I bought the two Casio’s somewhat recently and the royale is by far the watch I wear the most often. The Fossil was a gift from my girlfriend and one I like to wear when I dress up a little nicer.

I’d recommend an Orient

What’s your budget? I’d go with something that has a dark colored dial and a bezel maybe that can GADA
