Poor man's watch thread

I have a lot of watches.............somehow I find myself reaching for this one quite often. Combo of looks and comfort. I took it on my vacation to Romania last year?....remember back when you could travel.

Gorgeous watch - how was Romania? I've heard good things.

I was looking at this and noticed that it’s almost the polar opposite of my other chrono.
Here are the two side-by-side. Could they be any more different?

They look exactly the same to me.

I'm wearing a racing chronograph today. It's an older watch that I really like - Tissot PRS516 chronograph. One feature I love is the steering wheel on the display back. I've worn this one on a Horween shell cordovan strap for years.

This watch came on a black leather strap with holes cut out, similar to the one on your Maxton, @mreams99 - a racing strap.

This watch still gets compliments from strangers.

So I've been semi-wanting a watch with a green dial. I have been wanting a Seiko. I think the details get a bit lost in the green version but I really like the gold with white dial.

Thoughts?

Gotta say it, I agree with you Ed. The white dial on gold and brown is gorgeous. and Seiko makes other green dialed watches.

 

[edinatlanta]

ngl would probably want a different strap

 

[Thrift Vader]

Yeah, but so many options. That is a stellar watch.

I'm digging this G-Shock more than I thought I would.

Love Oris, great value. I've had an Aquis for five years now:

That said, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't now thinking about moving my Oris based on this recent purchase in 40 mm with a gorgeous blue dial and sapphire bezel and off-the-charts quality:
