Kind of looks like a Rado
Kind of confused, if you like that Seiko, why not just get it?
I have two other Seikos that I don't wear anymore because they kept horrible time (one is a Seiko 5). I suppose I could bring them in to a dealer and see if they can fix them but at this point I can't be bothered. I like the look of the SNE325 but am apprehensive about buying.

Is the other one an automatic, too? Lower prices Seikos, like the 5s, are known for having a pretty wide range of timekeeping accuracy. They're capable of keeping excellent time, but it usually requires some fine tuning.
The one you pictured has a quartz movement, though, so it should be much more accurate.

Correct. My Seiko 5 would usually lose 5 minutes every couple of weeks. I know it's easy to fix but I got tired of doing it so bought a Casio G-shock

Oris Carl Brashear with a lot of patina.

Carl Brashear is a beast.

Selko SLA019 on triple denim…
Gorgeous! I don't know why so many in the watch community slam that Speedy-like bracelet style Seiko and GS use, it looks lovely.

Heritor HR7609
Japanese Auto movement, 43mm stainless case, screw down crown. Love the look, feels pretty decently made for the price point.

I've already got a Hamilton Khaki in my sights for my next purchase. I just can't do cheap hobbies
That is pretty much why I still don’t own a watch. I’ve spent hours and hours perving over them on the internet and considering options but I know as soon as I go for one a new Pandora’s box will be opened.

I know what you mean but I think you just had to find that one watch that suits you perfectly and you can be very happy with owning just that one. My first serious watch was a Rolex Explorer I, I still think the most ageless watch one can get. It took me almost a year to scrape the money to buy it spending many times staring at it through the the shop-window. It's been a great companion for many years not thinking about any other watch…

Trying to get into the watch game. Victorinox don't get many mentions but I like the brand and the INOX seems very Iron Heart-ey. Plus the red face is unique. The only problem is that it's 13.6mm tall which is proving difficult to wear with UHF sleeves.
I have a watch that is almost 16mm thick. I tend to fold uhf sleeve cuffs in half on my watch hand, works well.
