The bezel alignment is horrible on that thing. It'd drive me nuts! I'd never get to enjoy it because all I would see is the damn alignment issue.

Hideous bezel but that black face yacht master is a bad ass watch.

Guess the Cockatoo's new watch!
Hint, it's a tachymeter chronograph...

Thanks!

I don't want to wear the historical vintage Speedy much.

A couple weeks ago, a bunch of you guys helped me with my first Watchuseek purchase. It went fine. This week I got this (1st time picture posting, so bear with me):





I really like the simplicity/symmetry of the face, and the case design and crown detail really appeal to me.

Planet Ocean, latest model. I feel like Bond, only shorter. And chubbier. But sexier nonetheless.

Seiko 5 fans, a question. I started using mine six months ago, and although at first it was gaining a few seconds a day, it began losing time gradually, and now it's losing 8 seconds a day.

Is this normal? I know it's not my old Rolex, but I was hoping for better accuracy.

For a Seiko 5, not unreasonable accuracy. Might be possible to regulate a bit.
