Whats the consensus on Stuhrling?
I really like the one available on Chronoshark today but I dont know a lot about the brand. From what I have briefly seen online, recommendations go either way, which is why I turn to you Gaf...so please share anything you know about Stuhrling

I need help tracking down a watch model:
my dad used to have a rado ,all black.Very minimalist watch and instead of having the usual 12;3;6;9 it had 11;2;5;7; and nothing else.As I said very minimalist.
so any of you watch enthusiasts know this watch or anything similar to it?

First off, don't ever believe that a Stuhrling watch is ever worth the MSRP/RRP that they give you. The price from the 'sale' which they are always at (from $50~250) is the actual price, so by buying it from chronoshark/amazon/etc. you are not really getting super deal. That said, they can be comparable to other watches at that price point. Obviously, the quality isn't super, but that's what you get buying a mechanical watch at ~$100.
However, In my personal opinion, I would stay away from them just because they advertise such a ridiculously high retail price in order to trick consumers that the watches are worth more than they actually are.
EDIT: Whoops, just saw that this was posted ~2 weeks ago.
yup, it most often boils down to a Rolex Sports modelolore said:Sold the IWC and bought this instead:
Rolex Submariner 14060 No Date, F-series. Genesis for diving watches. Elegant, timeless, for the future
congrats on the purchase.
i bought a Seiko SKX007 recently, they are going to be discontinued:

Really like this one. I love watches, but I'm extremely picky.
Does anyone know of a watch that's similar to this one, but has date/day of the week/month?

Thanks Uncle, initially I was set on a 16600 (Sea Dweller for non-Rolexista
, but the 14060 timeless features made it stand out. It wears a lot smaller than the IWC and looks the size of a stamp on my wrist... Guess I have to wear it for a few weeks to get accustomed to it. When I think of it the Sinn EZM3 was about the same size. That`s a watch I miss. The lume was very good on that one... Glowed like a torch all night long.Seiko discontinuing SKX 007? Really? Surprises me since that model is such a no-brainer/sure-buy for anyone wanting an affordable quality automatic sports watch or starting to get a interest in precision timepieces.
Next watch on the to-buy-list is actually a clock, a Jaeger LeCoultre Atmos. Look it up watch-GAF, it is an amazing piece of engineering

I've got a Seamaster and an Aquaracer, I can't help you decide though as my Seamaster is a leather-strap vintage style and my Aquaracer is a steel strap modern style (same as the one Stephen Colbert was wearing until recently when he switched to a Monaco) so they're fairly different. You can't go wrong either way though, the only other watch I like as much as these is my original Nintendo Super Mario bros wrist-watch.
These are the exact models I've got...
Seamaster:
Aquaracer:

Watch thread? Yes!
This is my every day watch. It's only a fossil but I like it. Nice and heavy.
I have a Seiko at the house. Wear it on special occasions.

I had that watch. It was an awesome watch. But the band FUCKING SUCKED. It broke, they replaced it under warranty, and it broke again.nitewulf said:These are some of mine.

Not a single G-Shock I posted are under 100$US. The Riseman can run up to 250$. I would not call that cheap.
Re: Digital watches, I think I'll get this one for Christmas:

Was it cheaper when you bought it?
Its $129 now from the link you gave and thats too high for the G5600GR($110 msrp)
thinking of adding this one to the collection but not too sure about the black and white. Would have preferred all black or all white.

Sieko Wrist Information Watch :lol
Picked it up at a pawn shop years ago for around $30.
Plays games and does BASIC programming. I'd never wear it outside the house.

Been meaning to post these -
The family!
Omega Seamaster Professional 300 2254.50
Omega Geneve ST366.0833 (belonged to my father, broken dial feet leading to turned dial, stainless steel)
Omega Constellation OT14393 (belonged to my father, badly in need of a service, 14k solid gold)
Planning on sending the Connie off to Bienne for full servicing sometime this year. Currently trying to resist the temptation of adding a Planet Ocean or Speedmaster Pro to the collection this Christmas.
There were two Seikos that were in the rotation as well, but they have since found new homes with a couple of fellow GAFers.

You didn't specify style, sports or dress watch, but if it's the latter you can also get automatic Stowas in that price class. Like I did http://www.stowa.de/shop/cgi-bin/ls...847&rubnum=antea&artnum=&file=&gesamt_zeilen=
For 700ish and sporty you are probably looking at an asian-market Seiko (new), Marathon (new) or used Oris, Longines, possibly Tag.
As far as Seiko goes, I like these...
Sumo SBDC001
Alpinist SARB015
Alpinist SARB061
700ish can probably get you a slightly used Longines Hydroconquest. I love these and almost bought one before I decided to splurge on my Seamaster.

I picked up a Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic recently. Its a perfect dress watch as my Tissot is more of sports watch and my seiko is my everyday piece.

Hey all,
I've always been a fan of digital watches and never really likes the metal analogue stuff, but a lot are still nice. I just purchased my yearly G Shock which is know as "The King of G Shock".
It's fucking huge :lol
Not too expensive either, I got it for £90. For next year I will most definitely get the GA-100, but not in white. Too many people are wearing it and it's putting me off
