You should let him know about that.
Pardon me, but do you have the time?

I'll move my watch talk over here where it belongs. Sorry for hijacking your thread for a day Wolf. 
That's right. I forgot.
Now I'm interested, what Seikos do you have and what is your go to daily watch?
Cool, a Scotch endorsement is worth more than random Amazon reviews.
Mechanical is also somewhat sentimental to me. Ever since I was a boy I've been enamored with a wind up pocket watch my father has. He got it from his uncle Derk, the guy I am middle named for. I have heard countless literal war stories about uncle Derk. He was a city councilman (or whatever they call it over there) in Groningen in the 40's when the country was occupied. Anyway, even today, whenever I see that pocket watch that will eventually be mine, I think of Derk. It's silly but having a winding (even automatically) watch will kinda continue that sentimentality.
Those are nice. Really nice for only like $120. But it's a bit too fancy for me. I want a nice looking watch, from a quality name, but one I can wear while cycling around Boca in shorts. I think I've decided and I'm going to get the SNK805. I like the utilitarian but also distinct look of the thing. Plus it's neat to look at the moving parts through the clear back. And I can't beat that price. If I buy it buy midnight I'll get it Tuesday. I have a few bucks in my Amazon account from a return so it won't even feel like I'm spending any money. If it doesn't show up on my credit card bill or bank statements, it doesn't count.
Thanks for pointing me towards Seiko.

All I wanted was some steak
Right now, I'm wearing this
It's a Seiko dive watch. I wear this a lot, it's waterproof and rugged and won't scratch easily.
My other Seiko is this
Except with a navy blue leather strap. It's an NOS (new old-stock) of the original 1970s chronograph. I also wear this a lot, because the blue dial goes with most of what I wear.
These are 2 of the least expensive watches I own, but I wear them the most.

Btw, I looked back through this thread, and found where I posted my watch collection (link is no longer valid). I immediately got shit from Blyons and Casual.

Got my Seiko today! And since it was a day late I called and bitched to Amazon and got a free month of Prime. So far I'm very happy with it. It has a nice weight to it and yet is not too big. Tomorrow I have a long bike ride so it will get a good test out in the wild. I read a ton of reviews and pretty much the only negative people talked about was the strap. It seems fine to me but I'm still thinking about getting a NATO or Zulu replacement so I can change its look from time to time.
This thing may well turn me into a watch collector. I already have my eye on this diver now:
Amazon product ASIN B003JQLHY0

I have 3 watches with see-through backs:
From top to bottom:
Hamilton pilot watch with silver dial and dark brown leather strap;
Tissot PRS 516 with black dial and brown rally strap;
Skytimer pilot watch with white dial and black strap.
The Hamilton was the priciest, followed by the Tissot and the Skytimer (dirt cheap).
