I figured out why I wasn't that excited about the Duxot, it has an entirely brushed finish except for the bezel edge. It's growing on me


This King Samurai though, wow do I like it. I never thought to ponder what PADI meant, now I know. I ordered a SS mesh strap for it but I might keep the blue band on it, it's very comfortable

Very sharp Seiko!

Big Swede-
WOAH!!! That is sharp!
I’m impressed with Seikos the past few years. They have really stepped up their game! They’ve always made a solid case and movement, but now it’s the little things that they are doing-
Faces, Chapter Rings, bracelets…

Their micro adjust clasp is incredible! I’d put it up there with Tudors micro adjust.

My very first “real” watch. I’ve had this for over 20 years, bought it after college with my first real job. It gets occasional usage these days, was a daily for many years.

Clearly I can’t figure out how to upload images. Using post images. Anyone able to assist?

Email the picture, I'll post it for you.

Very nice.

Nice collection, Matt!

The Tag & IWC do it for me.
Respect the Panerai, but can't say I've seen any that I'd want.

Thank you, Johnny - much appreciated. My pictures are sub par, none of them do justice to my little collection.

As I posted earlier, the Tag was my first real watch. Great watch, ironically the smaller size is back in now.


The Tissot was purchased randomly while on a cruise. It doesn’t see a lot of use, but the dial called to me.



Both Panerai’s are my daily’s most days now. The PAM 395 serves as my go to of late, it’s been an amazing watch. Has a little flash to it with the polished case, and still a muted dial in terms of “flash”.



The PAM 692 has an incredible dial, the blue simply draws one in. It’s the largest by far, but fits well as my wrist is a bit over 8 inches. This was my 40th birthday present to myself that came a year or so late due to COVID pricing. The feel/sound of the bezel is second to none.



The latest add is the IWC. A bit of an impulse purchase, but it will serve well. Will be updating the strap and it will serve as my formal piece/get invited to the executive table for meetings. Certainly not everyone at the table notices watches, but there’s usually one or two. Nice to have a conversation with others that enjoy watches.

Matt, that IWC is FIRE! Nice watch!

I like that Tissot



The King Samurai bug got me buying another one, a white one off fleabay for $350 new in box. I have a SS bracelet coming for it from Islander

Matt, no one here cares about the quality of your pictures.

It’s the quality of the watch that we get into!
Those are some awesome pieces!

Thank you to all for the compliments. I had been wanting to post here for a bit, but the whole lack of pictures thing…

I’ve watched this thread for a long time, plenty of nice watches in here. Have been introduced to a few brands I wasn’t aware of either. Came very close a few times to grabbing a Sinn. I suspect that one won’t elude me for much longer - I blame each and every one of you

The other King Samurai just arrived, waiting on the SS bracelet that I ordered at the same time from Islander

I will post another pic with bracelet whether yall like it or not

I like it!

As do I. Can't wait to see it on an SS bracelet.

That’s sharp, BigSwede!
