I am further convinced..

I always thought that a watch doesnt need to be expensive to be good or for one to enjoy it as much as any other watch. But this watch has further convinced me on this. A watch whcih I think looks great and gives me a big smile whenever I look at it.

For the true watch enthusiast it has less to do w/ monetary value than the sheer joy a particular reference evokes whenever you glance down at your wrist.

Nice watch, OP!

I totally agree with you! Price doesn't always determine the quality or enjoyment of a watch. It's all about finding a timepiece that speaks to you and brings you joy every time you look at it.

Very nice, OP! What you say is very true. I love my Seiko and gets the most wrist time by far over my other pieces.

I've had one of those on my wrist for over a thousand surfin trips from one side of this world to the other. Can't recommend enough. You can even see me wearing it at about the 40:07 minute mark.
