You reckon correctly, sir.

Time is money and you've wasted a lot of yours trying to get service problems resolved. Doesn't sound like such a great value to me.

I'll play.

One of the most "graceful" stretches of white sand beach you'll ever lay eyes on . . .

True. My first ProTrek (actually back then Casio called the line 'Pathfinder') was battery powered and replacing them was rather expensive.

Which is one reason why, when I eventually replaced it...

There is zero charm. But there's a lot of this:



Lightweight, super comfortable and cheap, so a great watch for hiking / biking / running / camping / skiing / sky diving / kayaking down the...

I can think of watches that are more popular than I think they should be, but I can explain why they are, so no, I guess I'm not puzzled.

I used to have three Breitling models in what was formerly referred to as the "Aeromarine" range. Your SO falls into this category too. Here's what one of the top independent repair guys in the U.S....

I run hot and cold, but never to the extreme either way. I think many of us are like that.

Lot of truth to this statement:


I find that with all of my leisure interests, taking a break from...

I agree with this. I own a Marine Auto, and it's one of my favorites. I wouldn't sell it were I ever to buy a Marine Original. Despite their visual similarities, I think they're decidedly different...

Don't listen to them, Jamie. I've been here since July of 2010 and I still don't have access to the Bear Pit. /pouting.gif/

Since you mentioned Nomos, I'll suggest a more affordable alternative that resides in the same corner of the watch universe: Stowa Marine Automatic. For 1K, you can own a great watch that has the...

Good to know. I've seen several Fortis owners complain that the B-42 lug screw configuration is overly fussy with respect to strap changes, so that's why I asked.

I really like that watch and have often considered getting one. Tell me, are the lug screws as aggravating as some people claim?

Can't speak for others, but that's the way it worked for me. My own watch odyssey took me from the micro-brands (e.g. Benarus, Steinhart) through the likes of Breitling and Rolex. The more...

My current white dial models. Have owned several others in the past.

No, no, no. It's fine to broaden your horizon beyond Seiko (and you should), but don't abandon them. You'll regret it. And sooner or later, you'll find yourself coming back.

I routinely take one or two watches with croc or gator straps with me when I travel internationally from the US. It's a non-issue. When I return home, customs agents don't perform "strap checks", any...

None. Watches are horrible investments. Next question.

Ordered this Seiko 4KR3JZ strap for my Monster. I've tried several rubber straps on this watch, including an Isofrane (normally my rubber strap of choice), and haven't been completely satisfied with...

Sorry you're having to deal with this, but unfortunately high service costs are part and parcel of owning luxury watches.

This is why I sold off my Rolex and two Breitlings — I simply wasn't...
