Looking for a watch for daily wear - Page 2

those first to Hammys are damn dope.

My daily watch is a Hamilton Khaki Field Officer - cost was around 500 - great value

just got this seiko with a bill yao dial for holiday/scuba/beater wear, for the price i don't think these can be beaten

^what seiko is that? thats nice. have to agree with seiko for affordable daily wear. i got this and changed to black leather strap w/ white stitchings.

What is that?

I want something like that, for school and such.

With regard to Laco, who makes a fine watch, my preference is for the type-B dial:

seiko 5 military SNZG15J. bigger than normal military ones, for those with bigger wrists. and where to kop Laco? ebay? preferably with international shipping.

That seiko (the one that you pointed) looks like a custom SKX-007 using dial and aluminum ring insert from mk2 watches. And I believe that looks like a sailcloth strap.

not my pic, but a modified seiko SNK809 with new hands and face done by a guy from the watchuseek forums whose username there is yobokies. i got one after seeing a member here with one. i call it my poor man's sinn 656. it cost me $128 if i recall correctly.

biggie_robs,
those are nice type-Bs and a thing with them, they are not as prevalent as type-As. though once you got the either one of them you're bound to get the other to complete the set.

pronxs,
you can:
a. go straight to laco's website
b. email peter pfeiffer (laco's brand/design manager) to order custom pieces.
c. http://www.timequestwatches.com/id6.html has a promo right now on those type-A classic for $495.

spot on. it's my first seiko, the build quality is really impressive. there's more weight to it on the wrist than either my sub or speedmaster.

Looks good and simple. Cheap too http://www.countshop.com/Seiko-SNDA57P1

Ahem...

preference for mechanical or quartz movement? regardless, i wouldn't spend over $200 on a quartz watch while i don't own a hamilton i really like some of them and they have a good reputation this one is great i'm also a big fan of the seiko black monster which is the perfect beater, everyday watch , IMO it can also be found for around $150 with a little patience

lol. what a piece of shit.

you going to recommend a Swatch next?

get a Tag Heuer F1. they are like 500 exactly.
