      What is the consensus on Lum-Tec these days?

        Not a really “cool” watch, but I dig this one and the bright green face.

          Big 48mm Chicane Chrono  - pretty cool chunky watch for the price.

            I kinda like the look of this Seiko sne325. Any other companies that make a similar looking watch?

              Kind of looks like a Rado

              Kind of confused, if you like that Seiko, why not just get it?

              I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                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

                      Carl Brashear is a beast.

                      Maybe so. Maybe not

                          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.

                          Think it, be it.

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

                                I think they make solid watches. The aesthetic isn’t always to my liking compared to the comparable Seiko offerings and the stuff Hamilton turn out.

                                    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…

                                      God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

                                        That is an interesting point @Chap  There has certainly ended up being an element of perfectionism in my search for a watch. Maybe I just haven’t found “the one” yet?
