Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

[timelord]

This was a recent AliExpress purchase; watch is a San Martin (I have several different styles from this company) with a blue Mother Pearl dial. Most of the time it looks like an inky blue black sky; but when it catches the light

I had the option have their logo or go no logo; with this dial I thought a logo was an unnecessary distraction. Same reason I went no logo on this bronze San Martin



and this leather dialled one

Is it pronounced 'Seek-o', 'Say-co', or 'Psycho' ?

this bronze San Martin

Nice detail on that one!

good question; I go for "say-co" (seems to be supported by the pronunciation tutorial I just found on a web search)

Obviously I agree! Seems to fit well with it being a bronze case.

I say say-co. That one is a keeper! Like I said before, you cant go wrong with a Seiko 5.
If you haven't read much into them, you should. It's actually really interesting.

I really like the new Seiko5 sport watches

I've done a little bit of reading actually. I like how the 5 represents the 5 guiding principles.

Hopefully this is a good one. It was very cheap and coming from overseas. Fingers crossed.

Nice watch Mike. I like the green dial. I had a Seiko (say-co) many years ago.

 

[mikethompson]

Any love for this Favre Leuba? From the same cheap overseas seller I've bought the other three from.




*grown up voice* maybe wait to see how the others are before you buy more watches Mike *grown up voice*

What do you think about this?

Looks like enough people liked it

Another weird story about that watch:

Man Queuing For Swatch-Omega Tells Police To 'Shoot' Him, People Say It's Just A S$300 Watch

Frustrated with the crowd control at the Swatch-Omega collection launch at ION Orchard, a man shouted at the police to 'shoot' him.

Apparently the MoonSwatch will not be a limited edition which makes all this even crazier.

Lets the speculation begin! I had some friends purchase outrageously over-priced Ferrari's in the early 1990's....and then learned an expensive lesson.

I like the freestyle brand of watches. Specifically the shark watch’s. Nothing to fancy . But last couple of years my phone has replaced my watch.

I like the wood-style face on this one

 

[mikethompson]

The face doesn't really jump out at me on this one, but the German for the days of the week sure do.

Maybe I should be looking on eBay.de

 

[mikethompson]

Is there something going on with the face of this one? Or just reflection?
