I see, funny that out of all those the seiko is getting the most love! Just goes to show...
What speedy do you have?
I hear lots of people rave about the Pelagos, is it really that good? (Size would be way too big for me)
I’m sure your date just would hog a lot of wrist time too!
Speaking of jubilee bracelets:
I love and adore Seiko, they’re my favorite watch brand ever. I can’t say enough awesome things about them, the only criticism I have is that their “lower end” divers like the Turtle/ Samurai sometimes have misaligned chapter rings, so it’s best to purchase in person. Macy’s has some awesome Fathers Day sales usually, you could get lucky if you have one near you… I also love JLC, they’re known as the watchmaker’s watchmaker for a reason. The movements they’ve made for Patek Philippe pieces have been awesome, and the Reverso is a classic with rich history.
The Pelagos is great, I personally love it. It doesn’t fit as large as you’d think, I have small wrists too. It’s lighter in weight than I thought it’d be, but it’s still weighted so it feels like a quality watch. Some older gents make fun of me for wearing Tudor, they say it’s for kids who don’t know any better even though I’m almost 40 lol.
I bought the Moon Watch recently new for just over $5k after taxes, I fell for the hype even though I’m well aware that the Seiko Pogue is the real moon watch and the Omega is just a marketing stunt…
Believe it or not, the Datejust receives the least wrist time out of all of them. It’s from the 80’s and I bought it for $2,100 several years ago, so it’s an old relic that I’m weary of wearing often. That’s kind of why I love just wearing the Seiko Turtle, I don’t have to worry about it since it’s a robust watch that I don’t have to worry about if I’m doing yard work, swimming in the pool, playing soccer, etc.
For anyone interested in the Seiko Turtle, I prefer the aluminum bezel models over the newer “King Turtle” models with the ceramic bezels/ cyclops day/date. For some reason the newer ones feel lighter and the bezel turning isn’t as satisfying…
