HAGWE! (Wet enough to take cod for a walk!)

Late 60s Seiko automatic for me. I love the way that blue changes in different lights. Cheap and cheerful

Since I got my Squale back I have been alternating it with my Smiths military 36mm during the day which is the one I really want to wear.

But at the same time want to check the timing on my Squale which is now very accurate.

Hamilton PSR today

[helidoc]

Changed from one GMT to another. Bergeon tweezers arrived today, so trying out NATO on this watch for the first time in 7 years. It’s 19mm from my GS, but pretty happy with the result

Tissot Seastar 1000 chrono today - love this thing, fabulous attention-to-detail, amazing build quality and cheap as chips - no idea why I don't wear it more!



Stay safe, stay dry this weekend

HAGW everyone.

[AshUK]

Some great watches out today.
Enjoying a pint down in Southern Oregon while getting some work done on my truck - trusty old PO has come along for the ride.

[paw3001]

The SC Earth MoonSwatch arrived today!

So do these go under Omega or Swatch for the monthly statistics?

New to me and the first non-fitness/smart watch I've purchased in the last couple of years. Testing out whether I can leave the health and activity stats behind for a while!

[Matt8500]

Still love this, 42mm, titanium, rose gold hands, sandwich dial and a great movement.

[sish101]

After a crazy day caught up in the storm and its effects, nice to have a beer and peruse these Friday watches. An eclectic selection indeed.

One of my favourite watches today. A bit of modern retro style.

I did not know there was one of these on the forum. I've looked at it so. many. damn. times. and think I love it but there's something stopping me and I'm not sure what it is. It's either snobbery or the fact I've realised recently that I have a LOT of divers and not enough diversity in the collection.
How's the owning experience?

Thank.

I own a Seiko SLA039. High beat (so 36,000 bph) and W/R to 300m. I fell for the Longines Ultra Chron when I first saw it online mid 2022. It also has a high beat movement and a 300m W/R rating. It's nice to own a Japanese and a Swiss high beat diver. They are totally differeny of course.

Mine is a late 2022 model with the full kit, so the stunner of a bracelet and the rather impressive black and red Longines nato strap.

When I first saw the Longines reviews mid 2022 I thought the watch had one of Longines 262 kHz movements as the second hand is very smooth in operation. (Not in the same league as a spring drive, but impressive in its own way). I was wrong. The movement is incredible. It is the most accurate mechanical watch I own. The bezel action is up there with the best. A 43mm case so that suits me. The black textured dial, sapphire bezel insert and box sapphire crystal make it a watch with character all its own. I can only recommend it.

[jukeboxs]

David, have you ever dived with the Longines? I was very tempted by this (it looks fantastic, and the movement is very special) but was put off by the poor / lack of lume (especially on the seconds hand), and I wonder how much of an impact this is in reality (for divers - I'm not one sadly).

No, no and thrice no. Get yourself shopping for a 20mm!

Hi Andrew,

I have never used a dive watch for diving. The deepest water any of my watches ever touch is a holiday hotel swimming pool or a dip in the sea. That's about it. I always use a lower value watch if I'm ever in salt water.

Lume (or good lume) is everything to some, but a very low priority for me. It has never ever been a decision maker for me. The lume on this watch is probably better than you think.

It is a fantastic watch if like me you like a bit of modern retro design, plus it's beautifully built.

Don’t worry Tony, it was just temporary as it’s what I have for the GS. My 20mm has been shipped.

Anyway, if it’s good enough for this guy:

Good deal. I think it's just the strap model? Unsure.

Good story behind that one, of course.
