It is, they just released a new video and I liked how this watch looked. I've been looking for a sunburst blue dive watch & I'm leaning Kamatsu 3 (I don't need another Seiko yet)

 

I'm watching this video (https://youtu.be/eM6RxWKx3Zc?si=dF-8jukAeLzdQpv) and I have no clue what watch the host is wearing.

SEIKO cement/moon. It's new but I have it as my beater because scratches on the case only makes it look better.

That DJ41 is clean!

I just learned about the navitimer today and I think it is so cool. A little busy, but the slide ruler is unique and so useful.

Great style. May I ask what line of work you're in? These all look like they mesh well with a suit.

I think that the fun part of this hobby is finding the right ones for your situation and lifestyle. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Nice situation

Smart watches are so versatile. As far as utility they can't be beat. I have a nice feeling when going more analog, so these automatics ease my mind somehow. It feels like having modern history.

With that said, smart watches can be damn cool.

If I sell this watch I need to move to Belgium 😂.

That range sounds very solid to find nice pieces that will last a long time. The price point for average enjoyers and wealthy connoisseurs are very different.

That progression must feel amazing. Do you ever see yourself going back to the 3 digit watches?

[–] Dru247@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

May I ask what the watch is?

Wise man. The watch will be there later.

 

I promise, I'm not a spy from Citizen. I'm just a curious guy who is new to the hobby. I often watch YouTube videos about watches and it's very common to see "10 AFFORDABLE WATCHES YOU MUST BUY!" or a Teddy Bulbasaur video that says "This watch is super affordable & has an entry level price point" then the watch is $595. Hell, right now I'm watching a video about Citizen & the list is saying affordable is under $1000. My limit currently is $250 for a watch. MAYBE, if I save for a bit I'll raise it to 300. (Disclaimer: I'm in Japan so $250 goes much further. I have a Seiko 5 cement for $120ish.)

I know we all come from different backgrounds and have different financial situations. "Affordable" for you may not be affordable for me. That is perfectly fine. I'm just very curious as when collections are shown in this sub, I like to Google the watch. Often times it's a multi thousand dollar watch.

Thank you all & I'm looking forward to hearing your stories.
