    I literally feel it: "it bothered me at first, but over time..." I scratched my first automatic on the first evening after an very funny evening after pure stupidity but still fun, and i thought about to get a new titanium bracelet. Would been one of the most senseless things in my life. Even if i felt minda pain during the first few days watching on the scratches. When i look at them nowadays: new scratches don't bother me at all and these ones let me think about an real good evening with my best friends.

    Thinking about getting this for my next watch! Thanks for doing the comparision, i was debating between 36 vs 38, and seeing it on your wrist helped me decide! Also, can you comment on the scratch resistance? Seems like the majority of the watch is good, but the clasp has picked up some scratches

    • @timeportal1189
      @timeportal1189 2 місяці тому

      You’re correct the clasp is most likely to scratch due to most contact with surfaces.

    Can you feel or hear the movement of the rotor? The 34mm looks so much better than on the Traska website. I snapped -up some smaller (new - old stock) Seiko 5s ( SNKL) as brands don't really make this type of watch ( hence the poor reception to Traska's 34mm), or make it more feminine ( that smaller Aqua Terra..).

    Thanks for posting. Not a lot about the 34mm out there but as soon as it came out I grabbed one in the Aegean blue and I have to say that 34mm with a 19mm lug width is the perfect size. I have a 7 inch wrist and I don't have any watch over 35mm, so I love the smaller size.

    A beautiful hierloom. I got into their vintage models coming from their newer offerings. It's a shame their new trainmasters are all above 40mm with a crowded dial - Ball could do much to create a heritage collection similar to how Longines and many others have succeeded doing so. Thank you for sharing this video, there is little content on this watch and I think it deserves more attention.
