I like rugged watches. I had the first model G-Shock for over twenty years. The rubber case finally rotted off, but the watch body lived on. I finally threw it away. Now they make replacement cases for the old ones. Too bad I didn't hang on to it. At any rate, I bought a new model (GD-100) about a year ago and love it. Subdued design, rugged and inexpensive.  G-Shock fan here too. |

I love, love love love love the reviews of the very expensive watches on Joma. I wonder if actually have ever sold a $350k watch.

Here's the one I decided on. Surprised you didn't go after William Conrad's watch to match his pipe. . . . and just think, ya wouldn't have had to resize the band! |

So did your fingerprints at the county jail. We had the fried eggs on toast yesterday. It has been 2 or 3 times a week since you "suggested" it. Had donuts this morning, though. |

Nice watch Jim, wear it in good health. I don't care much for wrist watches or rings either for that matter. I do have an Elgin pocket watch that dad bought me for a HS graduation present. He had to put in some overtime to get it. That was in 1970. Been packing it with me every since.

Nice Watch!
I have only ever had one Seiko. I actually found it in the street. It worked well for years and I don't remember what happened to it.
Enjoy it Jim!

As an adult I have never worn a watch. Never felt the need.

I finally was able to locate some pins and a strap for my ancient Nivada Grenchen Depthomatic Skindiver. The elderly watch repair guy in Santa Fe was startled at seeing it as it had been a very long time since one crossed his bench. He cautioned me that is it worth more than I might realize to my surprise. This is the identical watch. Mine has a crystal which shows more wear.
it is nice to have it back on my wrist. I have not worn a watch for many years relying on my phone. Constant phone outages means no time showing. Hence, back to a watch. |

I like it looks very 60s. I have several old Seiko watches torn down just waiting for a steady hand day.

1960s vintage it is. My bezel is in better shape but my crystal shows more wear.

JimInks, I think you picked a awesome watch. I'm an Invite man myself but would proudly wear that Seiko

I hadn't worn a watch in years until my wife got me a Rolex Submariner for my 65th birthday. Wear it every day now.

That guy in northern New Mexico the land where time never changes. I do not operate on "Taos Time" where "Mañana does not necessarily mean tomorrow". I do not subscribe to "When it is ready, it will get done". I am a nut about punctuality which is just good manners and the hallmark of one who actually gets things done. Thus, a time piece. |

I have three Rolex's and all are excellent watches but now days way overpriced ! I have my fathers Explorer he bought in '56 and my Day/Date I bought in '72 when my daughter was born and a '62 Submariner i bought from a friend in '75. None of these watches were more than $200.0 when made but now would be worth multiple k's in today's market.

I have a beautiful Gold Polex Submariner that keeps perfect time when I can get the very unusual battery. 😁🤠
