I don't spend a lot on watches but I have a couple Tags and a few Seikos. Recently I decided to put some life back into a Seiko Diver's that I received from my parents as a Basic training Grad gift back in 89. it was looking rough, crystal was scratch bad, bezel was almost colorless and just beat up. (26 years of rough service will do that to a watch) So, new crystal, new bezel, new gaskets and re silicone the crown. I added a Seiko SS band as well to give it a bit more bling. All work was done by myself. Here is the final result. My mom loved it!

Not a fan of AP's but damn that looks good. Don't know if it's just all the complementing colors in the picture, but nice!

One of my favorite Rolex and hopefully my next watch. That exact configuration black face/green glass.

Most likely not until after the wedding next year.

I saw the name of the thread and I thought we were comparing bruises.

I would've won.(I lost the fight too btw)

Ps, you guys are really hairy.

I love it although I don't wear it quite often . Fit and finish is definitely beyond what you would expect from a humble brand .They even added "claddings" onto the case flanks on both sides to complete it's sportiness .
It's big in size yet comfortable to wear . Dial is super cool , they even added indexes within indexes to help the wearer calculate the minimal time graduations as much as possible .
3 date window is another cool feature , the date of the day is highlighted in white .That's a very nice thought .

If it were a Chopard the well known watch sites would rave about this watch
