Fancy longines form the 50s on a leather strap for Dakoka Watch company. Can't get much poorer than that! (Earlier post about the history and legacy of this watch)

I love it.

I've got a Railmaster but have been keeping an eye out for a good deal on one of these 38.5mm Aqua Terra. I need to get off my butt and sell off a few other pieces so I can justify the expense of one of these (or a new Tudor Ranger).
I'm the opposite. Picked up a 38.5 mm Aqua Terra with a blue dial in April and like it so much I've been thinking about adding the black dial Railmaster in the Fall.

Lovin all the turtles dude!
Out of all the watches I own, not pictured are a couple Omegas and a Tudor, the Turtles are by far the most comfortable watch on my wrist, I barely wear any of them anymore but every time I put one on I realize I should be wearing them more.

No doubt, I agree. I have that same padi, and I'm working on a seiko mod with a black pvd turtle case. Love it.

New member here and somewhat of a watch collector, I have recently got into collecting Omegas but for more reasonably priced watches I am a huge fan of Seiko, I own several. View attachment 1821050

Great collection!

I love the Tuna and the MarineMaster in particular!

Yeah they are two of my favorites and do get some decent wrist time, although I need to send the MM300 in for service, had it serviced a few months ago and it just randomly stopped working not that long ago, luckily its covered under a 12 month service warranty.

The Tuna is a tank, it's my go to beater watch.
