Watches - another OCD problem

[Megatron1505]

It's definitely a good looking watch, and with the potential to look great with a few years of wear. Would it last a few years? Would be easy to get repaired? I'm just asking as I honestly do not know.

[Chris]

Miyota movements are durable, dirt cheap and ubiquitous.  If you ever need to repair it, you should be able to do so easily.  Heck, you could probably just do a full movement swap for $50-75, parts and labor total.

Vintage Orients FTW!!!!

Mega, I swapped the bracelet off mine, you can have it if you want (20mm lugs)

[Chris]

Is that the IHxSE party bracelet, Mega?  If so, it's come a long way since October.

Jon, that would be awesome man.

Chris, it is. I've worn it every day since.

Upgraded my Maratac watch to the 2013 version.

Selling the old version.

So slick and cheap(compared to the other beautiful watches on here).

If it had a 3 o'clock crown I would be all over it.

Really? I like the offset crown. It's cool.

[urbanwoodsman]

The offset crown is more comfortable when I bend my wrist.

[CLJ]

I've had a dozen Seiko's with 4:30 crowns and I like something different occasionally. It isn't an issue for me because I'm left handed so when worn on the right wrist crown position makes no difference. Just visual aesthetic.

I've promised myself this watch next year…

But, as a fan of vintage Tudor's, I may switch and get the modern interpretation of the Monte Carlo…

[Chris]

I've mostly moved away from chronos, but that second one is nice.

Would love a Maratac Pilot, but they don't ship to the UK!
