    Have lots of Seikos , mostly divers. Also some GS. Went to the other side, and bought a Omega railmaster, silver stainless dial. Gray market, great price for a new Omega. Kind of the ultimate tool watch for me. I farm, work around 100 hp electric motors. All my other watches get removed, before working around the motors. The railmaster......nope. The forgotten, maybe unloved , tool watch!
    Grand Seiko makes a great tool watch also. Sbgp015 with a 9f movement. Wear that one to work also.

    I 100% agree that everyone should try a Doxa Sub 300 or 300T at some point. My first 'REAL' watch was a Doxa Sub 300T, to celebrate sucessfully quitting heroin after 6 years of addiction. I'd been wishing I owned one ever since I first read a Clive Cussler book many years ago. I had trouble deciding between the traditional 'Professional' (Bright orange dial), Shark Hunter (black) and 'Aquamarine', and finally settled for 'Professional'.....Then a couple of months later, having got the watch collecting bug, I then went out and got a Sub 200 in 'Aquamarine'........A few months later, my local AD was advertising the Sub 200 Chronograph for £1K below RRP, so obviously that was another two grand gone from my bank account! Just as well I'd quit injecting heroin, as this new hobby was becoming horribly expensive. Since then, I've acquired 2 more Doxas, one 1950's dress watch, can't remember the model number off the top of my head, and a 1945 German military issue Doxa 'DH' watch. Out of the 30 or so watches in my collection, the Doxas are probably my favourites, although I've never worn the Sub200 or the C-Graph.......Amazingly my second fave is a comparatively inexpensive Seagull 1963 Chronograph, which also happens to be my most accurate mechanical watch, gaining on average 1 second every 4 days! Better than some of my Quartz watches! Personally I'm VERY impressed for an under £300 watch to be THAT accurate. In conclusion....Watch collecting for me IS an improvement on wasting vast amounts of money on heroin. It was more expensive initially, until I managed to fill both of my watch display boxes, and managed to calm myself down a bit. It's now been at least 6 months since I bought a watch (A genuine Casio F91W to go with the fake one that I unfortunately ended up with first from a dodgy ebayer.), so I think I've got the addiction under control, and I've not touched any of the H for almost 3 years now :D

    Doxa: that no-decompression bezel seems like such a nice idea. Too bad it wears off quickly, and you wind up with a rotating bezel where you can no longer read the outer set of numbers. So, then you decide to have Doxa replace the bezel, and they tell you that they don't have any spare bezels for your watch (this is a modern Doxa, not one from the 70s). So now you are stuck with a no-decompression watch without the no-decompression numbers...

    The Big Bang and every RM watch I have ever seen are just unpleasant, not the abominations that the current watch discourse maintains. However they do clearly traverse the boundaries of good taste. Even if you squint a lot. I think you need a holiday Andrew. You've changed buddy. Can I still trust you?

    The Doxa review is the funniest review of any watch ever? Little ‘Cousteau ‘ Mermaid invented the aqualung thing that stops you…dying.
