So I recently bought a $180 Orient, which I love.
And then a $300 Citizen which is nice ( I think that the orient is way more aesthetic).
Now what's the next 'big step'? I am thinking this seiko 'panda'….. Prospex Solar Chronograph Watch Panda Dial - https://watchdirect.com.au/products/seiko-prospex-speedtimer…
I recently bought a $180 Orient
Was it Orient Chrono Solar Panda? My next target could be Orient chrono solar panda around the same price with green or navy colour. I don't have JDM and chrono yet … I prefer solar powered watches
No, the neo 70 - it's a really nice looking watch and looks better than the $300 citizen that I bought. Not that the citizen looks bad, it's just that the orient looks way more expensive than $180
ssc813p
Th Speedtimer ssc813p is beautiful.
It is masculine, yet dainty and pert. I am a heterosexual male, but if I were to date a man I would want him to be like this watch, aesthetically and stylistically.
It is vintage and old fashioned. I'm old fashioned myself, so that appeals to me. It is secure without being gaudy, loud without having to shout…
It is a polite sexual liaison - without the trappings of erotica. There is no drama or window shopping, just raw pleasure.
It isn't the honey but the hive itself, if you catch my meaning.
Sold, I'm getting one.
I mean the Orient Neo 70 does look like the panda and it looks awesome. How is the ssc813p better than the orient, movement-wise.
I'm also looking at that one to replace my Seiko I bought in 1998 when I graduated high school.
I looked at in the Seiko boutique and really like it. Next, I'm going to have a look at this in person, and then decide: https://www.tissotwatches.com/en-au/T0356171603100.html

No one can tell you what watch to get. It's a personal decision. It also depends on your budget
Hamilton Khaki Field Auto.
Or quartz, can be had for around $500 on a good deal.
It's a better grab and go and marginally smaller dimensions.
Every watch collection needs a Mickey Mouse watch.
If you Google 24k Mickey Mouse watch with wooden train, there's an awesome one on eBay
Mickey And Co Gold Limited Edition Watch And Collectible Wooden Toy
Sorry, can't work out how to get link here.
Or maybe that down there V works?

Fugu.
No fugu
Definitely a Seiko Coutura. They are beautiful but only a ruggedly good looking guy can pull them off.
I am a ruggedly good looking guy fr though…
Then the Coutura is definitely for you.
Nope - I've decided to go for the classy look.
Couturas are poo, but would go well with Nike Tns and a fanny pack.
As someone who has spent far too much time and money collecting watches - take a pause and work out what you really like style wise.
Trying to grab stuff from different genres is the easy way to end up with stuff you don’t like or just meh a few years from now.
Don’t be in a rush to add stuff to a collection and make sure you really like it. I’ve ended up with a few things that I wouldn’t own again
That being said, that seiko is excellent! Gorgeous watch and I say this as someone who isn’t a fan of chronos (despite owning a couple).
