Correct size of Explorer

How long before doctors and engineers starting targeting these in Irish pubs like they do in Mayfair?

That's more a 'traveller' issue here tbh.

Something a bit more fun. Feline Fine from Mjw. Molotov is the hour hand, the lighter the minutes, with a text second counter that moves around the outer dial.

Not a bad price for the Edifice Automatic (https://www.onedayonly.co.za/products/men-s-edifice-automatic-watch-20260219)

That seems like full retail price though, a Seiko automatic isn't that much more than that?

Only other place I found lists them for R8.5-9.4k:



The cheapest Seiko 5 (SRPK35K1) is R7.2k, so a little bit more but then again it is the cheapest Seiko 5 so it's not a very good looking one (IMHO)

Quite tempting, but the wife will not be happy with me getting another watch

Tell her you need a watch for the apocalypse. You never know when the zombies/AI attack and then you find yourself not being able to tell the time, a very NB thing to do when it's the end of the world.

Good suggestion, but I don't think she will buy that story. I added 6 watches to my collection in the last 6 months, including 2 G-Shocks and a Duro.

Theoretically, how long would you need to sleep on the couch for?

Don't want to find out. Going to try excercise self restraint and not look at any new watches for a while.

Seiko 5 holiday beater. Not ISO, but it has been in many oceans. And dive bars.

I was looking at those ones. Takealot? They seem pretty nice for a sub-R1000 watch

Yip. Did quite a bit of research before buying. The best you can get for the price, just be careful though. There is a tremendous amount of chinese cr@p landmines.

Thanks, yeah, I see lots of those SKMEI etc. brands on there.

I still like my Duro, thinking of getting one for my dad for father's day later this year.
