New guy ordered first Seiko
Hey guys! New to watches, looking to learn. I have been reading and mainly visiting Worn&Wound. Really wanted the Seiko 007, but didn't want to buy on eBay as a first timer, so I ordered brand new on Macy's 'Fourth' sale. I got the Seiko Sports 5.. it's the replacement to the classic 007, not as good, but good deal to get me started. I know this is an expensive game, but I'd like to start my collection under $1000 for now. Any other brands I should consider for something classy and good quality and easy to mod?
Also, any input on Luminox watches? Mainly the Navy Seal collection. Thanks!

I started with a Seiko. Still one of my favorite brands. I have a Sarb033, and a SRP773. Great watches. I buy what I like. I have a Timex Expedition Scout, and a Weekender. Two simple, inexpensive watches. But I enjoy them.
Over the years I added a Rolex SS Submariner Date, 36mm DateJust, and a 39mm white dial Oyster Perpetual. This hobby get expensive OP. However, it’s one you will enjoy. Just take your time, and always buy what you like. Enjoy the journey. Last edited by ny325; 07-03-2020 at 09:40 PM.. |

Congrats,
I have got a couple of Seiko watches and I love them . For watch modding I know two great guys : www.mullerandson.com (he also sells on ebay ) www.luciusatelier.com When you search for Seiko mods you will be seeing tons of modders as well . I like Luminox watches but as far as I'm concerned Luminox don't offer automatic watches .I may be sounding like an automatic watch snob , believe not, I can't stand "limping" second hand for the chronograph when I want to track some events . Another reason why I love Seiko quartz chronographs because their movements track the time 1/5th to the second which is cool If you want a rugged tool watch and automatic then you should be considering Sinn . Longines , Tissot, Hamilton , Certina makes decent watches as well . None of them are independent but that doesn't matter

this watch was featured on Hodinkee recently so now on out of stock / backordered - but something interesting to pair with a Seiko.
https://baltic-watches.com/en/produc...onze-blue-gilt Casio G-shock's like the mudman are so good. Luminox watches work fine enough but I never had any urge to get one. There are some Citizen and Bulova watches that I find more interesting. |
