Maybe a Casio Duro

[question] What is your loudest ticking watch? (alien.top)
 

I know this is strange, but I prefer loud watches that I can occasionally hear audibly in quiet environments. I find that it’s kind of calming or grounding for me for some reason. One of my cheapest watches (Orient Bambino V2) has gotten tons of wrist time for me, just because I like how it sounds.

What are your loudest tickers?

[Recommendation] Looking for a field-ish watch in the 2k and under range. Good lume, 100m water resistance or more, ~38mm diameter, and can be dressed up in a pinch. (alien.top)
 

I’m starting to realize the 2k and under price range is a strange place for watches, and can’t exactly find what I’m looking for. As of now, the Sinn 556i RS is essentially what I’m looking at, it’s just maybe a little too bland. Maybe pictures don’t do it justice. Anyways, in a perfect world, I would go for an Aquaterra or maybe a BB36. I just want to gauge what all is out there and see if I’m more or less stuck with the Sinn.

[Sinn 556] owners, do you own the standard or the RS? I have some questions. (alien.top)
 

I cannot decide if I like the RS or the simplicity of the white. Is the seconds hand lumed on the non RS? Do you have any regret for choosing one over the other? I’m close to pulling the trigger, but not being able to handle the watch in person is really keeping me on the fence between the two.

[Grail] what is your grail watch and how likely are you to get it? in c/watches@style.land
[–] TurtleTruths@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Either a Seamaster 300 or Tudor BB58. Neither of which I’ll ever be able to justifiably afford in my lifetime. My realistic grail is just a Sinn 556i RS.

[Question] What is the appeal of Sinn? in c/watches@style.land

It’s a simple, versatile, German built brick shithouse. Top tier movement? Yep. Water resistant? Yep. Legibility? Yep. Wear it at work? Yep. Wear it rock climbing? Yep. Wear it to a wedding? Yep. Wear it banging your mother? Absolutely. There’s not a single occasion where the watch is out of place.
