Seiko Sumo. I kept thinking it’d be cool to have a 44mm watch as a skinnier guy. I saved up for months to buy it. After a few wears, I decided it was way too big and went back to 38-40mm watches. Now it just sits in my watch case

I’ve gotten my SKX009 serviced once. Never got the SNZF17 serviced. Both still running perfect.

As some have said, almost any watch can be a “lifetime watch”.

I have a couple $200 Seikos that are 20 years old which I’ve worn the heck out of. Still ticking away. Still wear them today, even after getting into “luxury” watches.

Get it from a reputable brand, get something you like the look of, and wear it lots.

She does leave her diamonds and luxury items behind when we travel to her home country several times a year. It’s insured, but I’d rather not go through that whole dance.

Also.. this gives me an excuse for a new watch 😁

Wow I have a lot of reading to do. Thanks for this! The Traska is definitely near the top of the list now

WOW. This is definitely at the top of the list as well

Doesn’t have to be new, but looking for a GMT function

I have an SPB143, but I’m on the hunt for a GMT. Obviously because it’s too hard to look at my phone to get the time back home 😁

“Happy wife, happy life”, or something like that

In all seriousness, she’s from Latin America, so we do go down there multiple times a year. She’s seen it all — people getting mugged over any luxury item. She doesn’t bring her designer purses and even switches her wallet whenever we go visit. And as a visible foreigner to their country, I already stick out like a sore thumb to begin with.

So paranoia? Maybe. Can’t blame her. She knows her country better than me.

But hey, this gives me a reason to get another watch!

I would get this in a heartbeat if it were a tad smaller all around!

The longines is up there for me. The BB pro is way too thick for my taste

$20-$20k The one I wear the most is $1500
