Come to Falkirk theres absolutely no one wearing a Seamaster , in fact no one wears a watch.

I chose the Quartz purely for the fact , i couldnt afford the Automatic which was around 400 pounds more.

I love the classic look of the watch and its possibly the most attractive watch ive ever seen , apart from my Aerospace.

The standard SeaMaster in whatever guise is always a safe bet, but it is the clitoris of the watch world.

Be bold, branch out, don’t select the norm.
Whilst I can appreciate where you're coming from there is, in my experience, little wrong with the clitoris.

Two people from Falkirk, that can tell the time!!! Which one of you moved there from Airdrie?

smile That'll be both of us that could tell the time in Airdrie away....

I'd vote the black Seamaster if that is likely to be the choice!

Must admit I like the black dialed Aquaracers.

Considered a Longines? Hydro conquest would be my choice, but some nice options.

I dismissed the black dialed one but it's grown on me. Thanks for the other suggestions smile

Ah, Alistair... I thought you had fallen off the planet.

I think you are spending too much time in that stuffy adult watch forum, it's no good for you.
nono

Spent up on upgrading the motor and have nothing left over for that 16610 I need.

EDIT: Hope you're well and enjoying your new Explorer now you've gotten over the hand arrangement. wink

And who wouldn't want THAT around your wrist as often as possible...smokin

Seriously, the blue face really adds class to the look, much more than you would expect from what basically is a "paint" job.

Good looking, classy, identifiable... without marking you as a flashy tt. That's how I see it.
