Nice! (The watch, that is. The view? Not so much. It makes my feet tingle.)

It was a liiiiitle bit of an impulse buy but I've wanted an MM300 for years. It's a beautifully finished watch.

Dude, that's a big watch. And it DOES'NT look big on you. You gotta have 8" wrists!

Ha! 7-7/8" I don't take links out of bracelets, I buy extras to add!

In all seriousness, the MM300 wears much smaller than its dimensions. My SKX007 wears bigger. The MM300 has a bigger bezel and smaller deeply set dial which shrinks it quite a bit. Plus, it has typical Seiko diver short lugs. That I'm wearing it on the lighter rubber strap probably helps as well.

Really, really enjoying this watch. A real keeper!

I'd kill for those wrists! haha! Sooo many big watches I love. IWC Portuguese 7 day. Blancpain Bathyscaphe. Oh I could go on and on an on.... The Marine Master is a great choice too!

That's not that bad. Go a few blocks south to the Sky Deck. That view will make you weak in the knees.

Leftnose, I see you're looking west on Madison.
Nice watch too.

I dislike Seiko sword hands, but adore the quality and function of a great Seiko diver. In my mind, it was the Marine Master like yours, or this 62MAS throwback/tribute. The MM is what? 44mm. This is 39mm.

Yup, 44mm. Honestly, wears 40-42mm, though.

Thanks. I'm fortunate that this is only a portion of my collection but just those for which I had a photo handy in that spot.

Picked this up a couple weeks ago

Got this one a couple days ago

My newest edition to my watch stable is this Phoibus Ocean Master. Replete with manual helium release-valve, and sapphire crystal. I decided on a nice tri-color NATO band for it. For a microbrand, this one rocks!

Congrats -- I'm a big fan of Alpina, a brand that doesn't seem to get its fair due.

Im not much a of watch guy but have been reading a lot lately. I dont think I can bring myself to spend more than a 1k on a watch......yet. So my focus has been on "Value" based watches. The Alpinas kept poppoong up and I found this on in a style I liked.

I did pick up a Christopher Ward Trident Pro yesterday which is supposed to be a farily nice piece for the price. NExt on the list is a Sinn 104.

Another one from last week, because I think everyone should own a Pepsi bezel Seiko. Kinf of redundant for me having 2 other Seiko divers but this one was calling my name.

The PADI diver is very special. That sunburst blue dial makes the watch.

Mine are 8.25". I always buy extra links, and there are few straps that fit.
