For me it's always been 100% analog. (HATE digi tachs too)


This one's still pumping along after 35 years...

Oooh Suunto's are nice Seikos too, especially the retro quartz LC ones :)
I've always wanted a Suunto but they they don't really pull at my heartstrings. Doesn't mean I won't jump at one at the right price.

Here's what I've been wearing daily for the last 2 years:

Super stealthy and unassuming until you take a closer look.

The back has the best part:

The band and bezel is much more comfy and pliable than your average g shock as well.
Definitely takes a person who appreciates things beyond looks to appreciate this one.

One of my latest additions that Im planning to throw in the rotation:

this is my problem, i love the watch but ive never seen it cheaper than 250.
spending that much on a mostly plastic watch even though i know its sturdy is what keeps me from getting one

That was me before I actually got the chance to see and mess with one in person; there's a lot of tech inside.
The price is reasonable especially considering it has a lot of features that much pricer master g shock's have.

I know this isn't the thread for this, but more people will probably see it here so...

The Heavy Pedal has all of their kits on sale today for 35% off, if you use the coupon code "420". Free shipping for orders over $50.

I have two of their kits currently and find them to be pretty decent for the price, comparable to Twin Six kits at least. They do run on the smaller side though, so I always go a size up.

Anyway, if you've ever been interested in getting any of their stuff, now might be a decent time to check it out.

Sherblock 04-20-15 10:04 PM

I always liked the "real treez" one. Can't see myself actually wearing it, though.

:bang::crash: writing and reviewing some 200 flash cards. Ugh

For what they cost, you think they could afford to put numbers on them.

i only wear my panerai on special occasions.
i also have the j crew edition timex field watch...it's the nicest $100 watch you can buy.

I like the J. Crew Timex, but it's too expensive for what it is.

At 100 dollars in put it in the same category as other field watches from Seiko, Orient and Citizen, which are automatic and quartz, but Eco Drive. Far better watches.

Hey cool. Someone else who knows about Orient watches. I wear one. Anyway, tonight was the 420 alleycat in presumably every major city in North America, Vancouver was no exception. This was to be my first rodeo so to speak but at the last second the organizer (in a somewhat panicked look) turned to me and asked if I could checkpoint. So I did. Had a lot of fun and got a better sense of what goes on at an alleycat. Looking forward to the next one, for sure!
