Speedmaster pro all the way. IWC is nice, but the speedy is classic and will never disappoint.

on this we agree ............................

It's a budget watch, but it's good enough for now to knock it about and still wear it with a blazer. I like how it looks, and I wear it all day.

heres my pocket watch

[Thehemiman]

I wear this most of the time.

My Luminox 3150 I've worn everyday for the last year and a half. It runs about plus 2 seconds per three months. Needless to say I set it and forget it on daylight savings. I cut out a phone screen cover to go over the crystal, 'cause I scratched the original to hell, then cracked it. Stupid mineral glass...

I am prolly buying a speedy pro sometime in the next few months

I'm about to jump on either a Omega Speedmaster Pro or an IWC Portofino Cronograph.

I cant make up my mind... anyone have first had experience with either or insights on value retention etc?

Here's my Speedmaster Pro 4oth moon landing anniversary LE.



First thing to do is try on both watches that you're interested in. One will eventually "sing"to you.
Second is to ask the AD (authorized dealer for a discount.
Thirdly I try to avoid buying new from an unauthorized dealer. And if I do buy preowned I'll ask for box/papers & provenance of dealer purchased

Couple of clarifications. . .first, my GS is not an SD, it's a 9S65 auto (pretty good movement itself-mine runs about +1/day with 72 hour power reserve). Second, Seiko's "10 year only" parts availability policy is something of an urban legend. I don't think anyone really believes that Seiko will arbitrarily stop producing parts down the road.

Yeah I am watching for the 40mm Blue dial date only King Seiko from about 1985 IIRC with the 28,800BPH movement in it

[Turf1600]

Its hard to get parts for any seiko thats more than 10 years NLA and yeah it is a shame. Its why I am buying working junkers for spare parts for my vintage seiko's. I dont think that one is a spring drive though, no power reserve sub dial

Any of their Grand Seikos, really. I really wanted a Lord Marvel or King Seiko Hi-beat for a while but the lack of support bothered me. Having vintage watches serviced is expensive enough without hand made parts.

SO understated and SUCH QUALITY piece, but its just a seiko LOL....... Arguably one of the finest auto movements in the world from any maker

Too bad seiko doesn't make parts for their spring drive watches beyond 10 years.
