Timepieces

[TACSTS]

I'll have to echo previous endorsements for a Seiko auto diver. I wear my SKX007J (Japan-market - in the US look for SKX173) daily. If you want some more color try a SKX009/SKX175 with deep blue face and "pepsi" bezel. Have both of the US "Monster" (SKX779 & SKX781) variants that come out occasionally, also highly recommended.

Highlights:
200m water resistance
Insanely bright/enduring lume
Built like a tank - service maybe once every 15 or 20yrs from reports I've heard.
$200 gets you a brand new w/ warranty one.

Ding ding ding. Total agreement. I was pretty amazed how nice a watch I got for <$200 and it served me more than well while I waited for my Seamaster to get refurbished. My watchmaker (love saying that) said that this Seiko mechanism was infamous for it's durability. I'll prob. give the watch to a nephew.

YES the SinnU(series) was on my short list for a long time. The entire mfg. process is appealing. If I were to ever find a SinnU1/U2 well used from a reliable source I'd be very tempted, they are rugged as heck. Saving my pennies for the Speedy.
