I agree!

I have a Seamaster GMT, a Speedmaster, a few Swiss Armys, and a few G-shocks.

There are several watch forums where you can find good deals on nice watches.

Seiko 5 sports automatic! Just picked mine up off Amazon last week (well, got it for Father's Day).

Already modified the band with the band referenced in this review:

http://wornandwound.com/2011/09/02/r...diver-in-blue/

Pics of mine.. They kinda suck off my cell phone, but you get the idea.









Edit - Here's a couple from the pro review:

I probably should have gotten the black band, but I dig the orange.

I'm a Nixon man. I have the Capitol, the Sentry, the Corporal SS and my favorite, the Banks all black. Also have a vestal that I put in the rotation occasionally.

Yeah vestal. That's all I wear. Pick them up for real cheap when they have their warehouse sales. Most of their watches are around $80-100 at the sales.

watches...



This ZR-3 was $150 though. Were going for over $300

There are a few requirements for my watches because, like you, I need an accurate somewhat durable watch:

1. It must be accurate enough. That is, atomic watch rules obviously. But, it must meet COSC requirements at the very least for automatic watches (main one being -4/+6 seconds per day)...and I always want "+" side of deviation because it is easier to re-adjust if your watch runs fast (vs. running slow).

2. Scratch resistant crystal. This is a MUST for me. I am anal and I hate scratches on the glass. (Yes, I know that you can buff out the older acrylic stuff...but I have no time for that.) I want my glass to be crystal clear all day and all of its life. So, this means that I like sapphire crystal for my watch glass. My Seiko has "Sapphlex" crystal which is part sapphire and part regular acrylic to be both scratch resistant AND more resistant to drops because it does not crack as easily as pure sapphire. Unfortunately, Seiko does not make Sapphlex anymore on their newer watches.

3. MUST have a date! My watch is the sole reminder of what date it is...i am getting too damn old to remember today's date!

So, with my requirements above, here is my tiny collection (if you can even call it that!):


I switch bands depending on my mood. And this is what I mean by glowing in the dark:


This is my wife's watch:


And this is my baby...the one I replace my Omega (see below) with:

Used to love Omega and actually had two versions of their Coaxial escapement...but both failed on me! Here is a pic of my last Omega AFTER returning from servicing (for same problem): ("sticky date" wheel)

Excellent watches all around! I was in my own little world of 4 or 5 watch companies until I posted this thread. Thanks to you guys I am ready to wreck my checking account now.
I've been set on a chrono for my next watch, so that narrows it down a bit. This will probably be my second Wenger:

I'll play, I have a couple more additions but I don't feel like taking more pics.



My favorite, sapphire crystal, tritium tubes, auto movement:

Nice Matt! There's something about watches and guns that just go hand in hand.

Not sure if anyone has come across a similar looking watch from a different manufacturer, but I figured it was worth some off topic ramblings....
MtnT4R,
I can't speak for the Luminox model you have listed there but I wore the Luminox below at work and off work for 15 years. It took it's fair share of beatings and to this day it's still working like a champ. The tritium vials aren't as bright as the day it was new but still plenty bright to see at night.

The watch you're looking at looks great! If you keep going back to it then I say go for it. The three Luminox watches I have, have been flawless.

I've had this one for over 10 years. It's been subjected to conditions most people will never subject a watch to, yet works flawlessly. The original band held up fine, too - I just liked this one better.
