overview for BlastShell

[Recommendation Request] This is my 4 watch collection. I love rotating these throughout the week! Getting bored lately though. Which would you remove and what would you replace it with? in c/watches@style.land

You need a white face Grand Seiko, like the SLGH005 white birch, hibeat. Get a few leather straps too.

[Hamilton Khaki Field Auto] I get the hype in c/watches@style.land

Being new-ish to the hobby, this is the nicest watch I currently own. Pretty lucky too, it runs +3 seconds a day. The only thing I wish were better is the lume.

[BB 58 925] Screw down crown keeps turning in c/watches@style.land

RED FLAG. If you’re going to buy a luxury watch, you really have to do your due diligence. Buying on eBay from a seller I presume is from a different country than you’re from brings with it a lot of risks. I’d take the refund and try again.

Excellent watch. I’ve been looking at the 38mm version of this. I always wondered, how durable are the bezels? I’d probably fidget with it until the cows come home lol

Do you wear the watch regularly?

[Question] Watch recommendations for earth tones? in c/watches@style.land

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

You say whether you’re looking for casual, dress, etc. But the Seiko Cocktail Time series has a number of earth toned versions available if you want to do the dress watch route.

[SOTC] Can we talk about my watches, please? in c/watches@style.land

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

Is the dial linen on the Omega? That’s a class watch right there. The rest of the collection is superb too.

[SeikoSRPD59] Not sure why other watchmakers don't look at Seiko, and think "we need good lume like them!" Am I crazy? in c/watches@style.land

The only criticism I have with my Khaki Auto is the lume. You’d think for a field watch the lume would be at least a little better.
