Pretty attractive this Davosa Newton Pilot Rally Cronograph LE.

Apparently, I have a package on the way from Singapore (gnomon). I wonder what it could be 🤔… Root beer squale perhaps? 😁

This is from a few years back. Enamel face.

Ahh, that may be why the photo popped for me. Tonneau shape is way underrated IMO.

Bought this beauty from someone that didn’t wear it anymore for a ridiculously low price, hence the picture in this thread. For those wondering, yes it is a quartz model, 37mm in dimater and super practical.

I have owned quite a lot of high-end Swiss Made watches in the past (Rolex, Patek, Vacheron to name a few brands) and it always amazes me what Seiko has to offer in terms of finishing and craftsmanship compared to other big players in the watch game that charge waaay more for their products.

Really good-looking. A bummer (for me) that it's a quartz.

A very handsome and distinctive diver this Spinnaker Piccard. (not my pics)

Especially fond of the matt (ceramic) bezel.

Grand Seiko are too good for Poor Mans Watch Thread IMHO!!!

Absolutely love that. I'd be perfectly happy with it being quartz, even though I like automatics/manuals I think it's nice to have a dependable quartz and Grand Seiko quartz movements are more special than an average quartz movement.

Very nice this Timex Marlin, and pretty cheap, but can't get over the name put on the bezel.

Today is the first day in a very long time that I haven't gone with my Tudor GMT.

I’ve been giving the 41mm black bay serious thought. But that’s a pretty big commitment for me right now.

Which do you have?
