Decently Priced Field Watch

[bri]

What happened to it?

I left mine in a drawer for six months and it took a long time for it to come back to life, but it still works fine. I've had it for close to five years now.

It will not set time. And is stuck on another time zone and a bunch of other weird problems. I would have to pull it out and look, I have been meaning to send it in and will. I have a Seiko self winding that is about 10 years old and working great, but it is huge. The citizen barfed at about 5. Have also read that it could be the battery in the evidence.

Edit.... If I remember it was odd too. Was coming back from other side of planet and trying to go back it wigged out and could not set time right and it has sat now for about a year.... I like the watch, but they are not bullet proof.

The Seiko self winders are but as I said MONSTER.

For me a beater needs a strong case and the best crystal possible.

My Seiko is sapphire. Great been hammered and is still awesome. Same to the krkrysternon Sturling. Don't remember the Eco drive. It has some scratches.

Good enough to share a Flipper with my Ducky.

It's a pretty sweet watch.

You guys are sooooooo fucking boring. For Cthulhu's sake, get off the watches and post something interesting!

Just for you; the Rolex that I want isn't even one of the sexy ones.

Other than watches, weather/climate, neighbours, politics we all had discussed. And they are the listed as the most boring topics.

Finally broke down and read the first post of this thread.
Casio G-Shock with a NATO/Milspec/Tacticool band for about 10 years now.

This is for you. Some day I will get the G4 edition DII to match the colour of the jacket and the G-shock Watch.

Walter - Shouldn't you be outside looking for black helicopters, drones, and robots?

 

[kennith]

There is a surprising amount of G Shock love around. I haven't had one in a very long time, so I don't remember what the big deal is.

I'm wearing my extra tight tinfoil.

I wouldn't call it love. I just wanted a durable watch to help me preserve this:

 

[fishEH]

I don't LOVE mine. It serves its function well, though. I can wear it at work and if something happens to it I won't flip my shit.

I think those look good with a leather strap. I really want an older Explorer II though. I'm pretty sure my fiancée would leave me if I spent $5k on a watch.

some people might see this as a win win situation

That Explorer deserves the Oyster bracelet.

 

[stu454]

That Explorer deserves the Oyster bracelet.

I'd probably go either Oyster or NATO.

I'd probably go either Oyster or NATO.

If you want to go all goofy with straps, get a Panerai.

The Explorer deserves an Oyster.
