That's an unbelievable price for a decently made automatic watch.


That Seiko 5 is basically a woman's watch (no offense if you own one). It's like 36mm. Very small for a man's watch. My wife has one and wears it all the time.

Nah, I don't have one and wouldn't take offense either way.

Hell, I have little girly wrists and my current 40mm watch always feels a bit big. I might consider picking one up, although, it would be hard not to want to get one of their $200 divers.

If you like smaller watches it's a good one for you then. It's thinner too. I think the actual size is 37mm. I wasn't far off.I don't like anything smaller than 40mm but that's just my own individual taste.

RIGHT! Because this circular slide rule is shite for calculating air speed, fuel etc

Listen bros, I spent years flying and the only function I needed my watch to have was another time zone, usually set on Zulu time.

that first one apparently has the "slide rule" in MPH...

The second one has a ELT?

Again, pilot watches marketed to non-pilots. Not a bad strategy, I guess.

Don't let Broke's comment turn you off to the Seiko 5. At 37mm, it is definitely not feminine. I get compliments on it all the time. For a daily beater, I think it's hard to beat.

I've always been a fan of the Seiko Turtles. I also just bought one of the re-issues, the black bezel model. It would almost be too big, but not quite.

Yeah, that's the type of watch I'd have a hard time not buying, if I ever decided to get a Seiko.

My wrist is something like 7.25" and I find my 36mm watch is the perfect size. It just depends what you like.

Because spinning that crown one whole turn is a mother fricker. I get it dude. It keeps me up at night also.

The market isn't big enough to keep a company alive with just pilots. So they market to everybody with a cool looking watch. But you can't claim the Breitling isn't or wasn't a functional watch at one point in time or even today.

Don't knock other people's shite just because you wear a girl's watch.

People knock what is out of their reach........or maybe because they have girly wrists and the Breitling would look stupid. I love Breitling and they fit my wrist well.....I, myself, have a large bone structure.

If it aint Rolex it's pretty much gay.
A Submariner or GMT are the best period.
Blancpain, IWC,Omega,Tag are great too
And in that order.
For the record I own them all and the Rolex Sub has never given me a problem. Its been on my wrist for 30 years without a hitch.

Not everyone has a baby dick and needs a 48mm watch on their wrist (no offense if you own one).

Got one. Pretty but I overspun it playing golf.
Omega said shock from vibration caused it.
Fuq man I was playing seniors clubs.
