So I have numerous watches all stemmed from my interest in Magnum PI.

1: Omega seamaster, a beautiful watch but runs slow 2-3 seconds a day so after a month well you know. I usually wear this on special occasions.

2: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B002MF ... UTF8&psc=1
This one is a Kinetic movement, keeps time like a Quartz but charges an internal system by hand movement. One of my favourite everyday watches.

3: https://www.amazon.com/Seiko-SUN065-Spe ... es+for+men
Another one of my favorite everyday watches. Again Kinetic, very accurate, with GMT.

The Seiko watch is hard to beat for quality. Is any watch perfect, the kinetics have a internal battery that eventually needs replacing but for the accuracy, cost and quality of them to me is unparalleled.

Why not the Rolex with the Pepsi Bezel, cost was one of the biggest motivators in my decision.

Hope this is of some use to members. Cheers

I also love the fact I was able to purchase the whole series on Apple ITunes for a decent price. Now I never have to pull out the DVD's any longer and can watch virtually anywhere.

This is very nice.

I have had my Invicta for 2 years now and put it through hell it keeps going no problem! automatic so no batteries and it looks great! I have dove with it to 30 meters its still water proof, and its survived being lost in my truck floor board for 2 months in the winter. Highly recommend the Invicta. https://www.amazon.com/Invicta-Diver-Co ... iver+watch also if you ar looking for a good time piece that is tough as nails look at the Sangin Instruments https://sangininstruments.com/
That reminds me of the time....
