C4d,

The Daytona is not my cup of tea but the story is cool. Are you still associated with the industry?

C4d,

These look fun.

C4d, (edited )

Doesn’t look bad; on paper nothing really stands out as a negative.

Do you have a particular budget? Is a field watch the particular style you’re after?

For a smaller wrist I was surprised by this Seiko here as it smaller despite being a diver (it’s also more expensive).

If the Vaer is the end result of a search process for what you like, you may as well go for it.

C4d,

Ok. Between the two the Vaer seems more robust, comes with a nicer strap and is more readily available (the Citizen BM8186-15E appears to be out of stock in a few places).

C4d,

I can’t think of anything that would help apart from a Casio digital. But your post seemed kind of lonely all in its own so here’s a comment.

C4d,

I tested the patience of the AD trying on different ones.

The blue looks great, as does black; white suited my tastes in the end.

C4d,

Beautiful; these are truly classic KS. Are you fortunate to have the “gold medallion” caseback?

C4d,

Awesome. I would love to see these in person but unfortunately there aren’t places near me that stock higher end Seiko (never mind Grand Seiko) regularly.

The clasps on these remind me of an MN-style strap; the nice ones are from Ericka’s Originals but competitors exist. You do need to remove the spring bars to get them on (which might interfere with Point 3) but I’ve had them for years and they satisfy your other points in full.

C4d,

Interesting; I’m yet to have that happen with any of mine - one is four years old (same olive green colour as yours but with white luminous stitching from Ericka’s).

C4d,

Possibly. Mine have been in sea / pool a fair amount and have been washed (cold water) a few times, but I’m not in a particularly hot country.

C4d,

Never seen these before; JDM only?

Always had a soft spot for the way Seiko do their divers though. Thanks for posting

C4d,

Are you sure it was automatic?

There’s ertt - easy read time teacher. Their website is here:

Is that them?

I came across them when looking for a watch to teach with; ended up buying a Flik Flak watch and an Oyster&Pop clock.

C4d,

Some Flik-Flak watches are even machine washable at 40C

C4d,

I don’t know.

The Omega Forums have a vintage section; they may be able to advise.
