The rest. Although, unfortunately, they don’t get worn as much as they deserve.

Sorry indeed for your loss, It makes for a nice memento wearing it, every time you wind it or look to see what time it is ..great watch IMO, sophisticated, elegant, the choice of someone who is OK with himself.
Dang! You have some “grail” watches there. The Daytona today has an 8-10 year wait at the AD unless you are VIP or just darn lucky. I take it the Daytona is the steel version prior to the ceramic bezels we have todayThe rest. Although, unfortunately, they don’t get worn as much as they deserve.
Wow, that is in great shape. The back looks almost brand new.I have a similar late 50's Seamaster.
Black leather band is the way to go.
The watch has a handsome case back...
Unfortunately wifey adopted it, so I don’t get to wear it anymore…

Sub is about 3 years, GMT about 5 years wait time currently
is the Panerai a 44 mm or 42? They make many sizes now, but before, they only made 44 or 45 and single-handedly started the big watch trend.I had never see a chrono in panerai, very fine indeed. Great looking watch!
be careful when you wear the Daytona - it is the most hyped watch today next to the Nautilus 5711. Here in EU - London, Spain, Amsterdam, there is almost a business where people steel Rolex from people I. Road daylight. Of course , many countries you don’t need to worry, but others you do
Is this the place to ask about a watch recommendation?
I’m looking for:
I’ve had two Seikos in the past, both started losing time or just stopped ticking in under 5 years. I’m tempted to give this one more try, but would also like to know what else is out there. Totally ignorant of the field.
- $500ish (I know, I know, get ready for more)
- Automatic
- Screw down crown/100m
- NOT a dive watch
- Not huge
edit: the other option is getting my grandfather’s Accutron Astronaut repaired, but I’m a fan of automatics, and the memory lives on whether it ticks or not. Anyone have an opinion on these?
The Seiko 5s have all had pretty simple automatic movements, and it looks like they recently upgraded the 5 Sports to the caliber 4R36, which has hacking and hand winding, some features that the older movement didn't have. It looks like a fairly simple movement, nothing too crazy about it, and the unbranded version, the NH36, can be had for pretty cheap.I dont know how serviceable Seiko 5s are and if theyre not I dont know if theyre really a great choice.
It would probably be cheaper to just have the movement swapped, rather than repaired to be honest. If you're looking at getting a new watch in the same model, I'd recommend at least getting a quote for it.Repairs/cleaning were more than sticker price, at least locally, so never had it done…
If there is I'd have to ask why.Is there such thing as a moon-phase diver?
Bumping this thread after I put the bracelet on this Ginault for the first time in 5 years. This is my daily wear watch and its the watch Rolex should be making.....
Controversial brand for some but for me the thing is perfection. Its hard getting a good picture of the gorgeous enamel dial. The tolerances on the case and bracelet and the machining shouldn't be this good for the price. Lets hope MassDrop IV is equally accomplished.
Nice watches, and well made. But that guy got his start by making very high quality fake rolexes, so definitely not my cup of tea.
A genuine faux Rolex would spend more time in the shop than on the wrist - just like the real ones!Say what? Did I understand this correctly? That Ginault was somehow associated with fake Rolexes? and then now makes Rolex look-alikes that are good watches?

My question was in full sincerity-
Was completely unaware of this.
But really good to know
In the watch store today - tried on this - no purchases however
