Ha I assure you it’s nothing special. It’s an A4 that’s turning 7 in a few months. She’s the first and only car I’ve ever bought and I love her almost as much as my watch. Especially the brown interior

The Black Bay Chrono just doesn’t work for me. I like the Hanhart a lot more, but would lose the bund straps on both

I like my watches snug

I believe cushion works, maybe even tonneau

As the title says, I dropped my Pilot Pioneer from about waist height onto asphalt and dinged the crystal real good at 3 o’clock. I don’t really mind that because I think bruises match the military aesthetic anyway, but I was worried about the movement. I’ve been tracking it for the last few days and it is coming in at +3s/day. I’ve heard people brag about the accuracy on their Hamiltons but mine never really achieved anything better than just inside spec (+/- 12-15s per day). I guess all it took was a force to knock it into COSC standards.

Pictured here on a whiskey shell cordovan strap which I think is a terrific combo.

Who actually cares about accuracy? Especially in a sub-$2000 mechanical movement? Seiko movements are durable, can last a long time without servicing, and are fully in house.

Accuracy and movement decoration is where they take a backseat to the Swiss at entry level luxury and below. Two things I really don’t care about.

They’ve got as much history as anyone and their dials and designs are where they shine. Two things I actually really care about.
