    Happy with it so far.

    The Swiss auto’s have to go out for service. I’ll keep those for fun.

    The Garmin is nice though. Easy to use and tracks all the stuff I want it to!

    The mountain bikes are going to be happy with the new Garmin, in the end that’s all that really matters...

    I will say
    It’s a nice watch

    I agree. Simple and uncluttered. Almost as nice as my Seiko. :)

    Time is too precious to let it go by on a cheap wristwatch

    Just got a call back from my AD. My Super Ocean is getting a new clasp, a new bezel, a complete tuneup/overhaul, and a good polishing/clean up. For $1,100 and 4-6 weeks of patience I'll have what will look like a brand new Breitling! Now I have to find that patience....

    Where did you send it? I have a couple of Superocean's that need service. The local shop where I bought em are, sadly, no longer there.

    I went to Schawrzchilds and they sent it to Breitling’s repair center. Cost me $50 to send through them versus direct, but I don’t have to worry about it being lost in the mail or anything. My understanding is that you can send it directly to Breitling though. Let me find that link again.

    Service on a good watch is always expensive - but well worth it

    Wow. I’ve seen them in the case but they’re so far out of my range I didn't even bother to try it on. Quite the score there!

    That thing is obnoxious Dave lol. Not my cup of tea but glad you have a quality watch. Trying to convince my fiancé to get a Tag instead of the Breitling that she likes, will save us like 3k

    Seamaster has been on my wrist for 2 weeks straight. Settled in at +1 second a day average over those two weeks. Omega has certainly stepped their game up

    Oh drew, I can see you’re just as much of a Smarta&& as ever. Obviously it comes off to shower and sleep. But it hasn’t come off the wrist in favor of any of my other watches yet and honestly I’m not sure if I’ll ever really wear my other watches other than when I’m deployed

    Get you a decent winder Zach. I bought one for <$100 that has been as good as the $400+ Orbital winder I had before it.
  • stangman67
    stangman67 Posts: 2,306
    I have a winder, Joe. I have a wolf dual winder just don’t use it much. If I rotated watches every few days or so it would make sense to keep the unworn ones in standby on the winder but in reality I wear a watch for a few weeks (or longer probably with the Omega) at a time and then move on to something else. Keeping watches on the winder for weeks or months at a time isn’t exactly great for the watches so I choose to keep them in my engraved wooden case my fiancé got me for Christmas

    My other two main watches are a Glycine combat sub which will be my fault when I go back to sea and a Seiko baby tuna

    Looking for opinions on MkII brand of watch. I like the look of a couple in their “Ready to Wear” line, especially the Cruxible.

    I'm not familiar with them, but at first glance they seem to be a decent watch for the money. I'd recommend a bit of searching on the watch forums, and see what others are saying. Seems there is plenty of chat about them at Watchuseek, including an official brand forum https://forums.watchuseek.com/f325/
