CREW WATCH Crew (or others): post your wrist today.

Think I’ve decided on an AP after I close on my house. Anyone have an offshore?

I’ve had a ton of them. They wear big. The bezel is beautiful, but imo it has to be ceramic bc the fucking brush grain on the bezel is so tall, that when you breathe on it, they get pushed over. It’s infuriating.

That being said, I’ve had the elephant twice, safari 2, black/yellow carbon, and something else with a ceramic bezel that I can’t remember. Ceramic ftw

Or RC. That’s one’s I regret selling.

With the current prices I've decided to sell the VC Overseas Chrono and JLC Reverso and try to get a full gold something at retail. I don't mind the wait.

If I wasn’t so shockingly poor right now and had a life where I could wear a nice watch, I still think zenith is the king of the mid market

Depends on what you consider mid market but Zenith makes a lot of great watches.

2-8k and available for that price.

 

[Lit Wick87]

Probably more like 2-6k tbh

 

[ThenCosmeSaid]

I wouldn’t say king. I was very close to picking one up for around $7k but found a very nice two tone date just next door at MSRP that I liked more.

what you guys think of the new APs?

 

[Aviv]

My dad ran printing presses for American Greetings for 25+ years. They gave him this Seiko for his 25th anniversary in 1992. He never wore it because he had a Seiko just like it (but without the fluted bezel), so this was his "nice" watch. Per Boomer regulations, if you have something nice, then it stays in a box and shall never be worn. Then AG laid him off a year later and closed the Cleveland print shop, so I can picture him saying PISS ON THEM and packing this thing away. I finally put a battery in it today.

Not Seiko's finest era for build quality, but I'm sure the movement is accurate and indestructible.

What’s not to like beyond unavailability? I think they did just the right amount to update them.

Henry Hill wore a gold smooth bezel version of that watch.

Movement finish could be better considering the price tag they look machined

Yeah but for the ~once a month I'd wear it, it will be nice to just put it on and it will be ready to go.
