This is my everyday Citizen Echo-Drive. My wife gave it to me on our wedding day. It's gotten a little more beat up than I'd have liked but I love this watch. Guess I'll just have to get another soon. Have another Cutizen picked out already.

Moses, I hope you are pleased. I am wearing mine today, and have been very happy with it. It keeps very good time, about 6 seconds fast per day.

Here's my new watch; Steinhart Ocean One in Titanium. Great watch for the money. Detailing is solid, well made. ETA movement, sapphire crystal, screw down crown, etc... 42mm and doesn't look big, so has a classic non-trendy look. Screw in links and ceramic bezel. Hard pressed to find a new Swiss automatic that has as much for the same money. Bought factory direct. This our 2nd Steinhart watch.

My other watches are all being serviced right now, so I was out of watch and wanted a Titanium dive watch is getting harder find. Planet Ocean Omega is like the only other one of note from I can see (albeit a lot more money).

Good-looking watch, Moses. You get a heck of a lot of Swiss watch for your money with Steinhart.

Yeah, that's really the main knock on most of their older models. Pretty much all homage watches (which is fine if that's what you want, but not what everyone is looking for).

I want a watch to stand by its own merit; not because it looks like something else.

For anyone that is in the market for a watch winder, I found an awesome deal on a wolf Heritage 6 watch winder. It's an older model but brand new on overstock.com. They are having an anniversary sale with 25% off and there is a coupon you can activate for an additional $50 off. Retails for about $2,500, listed for $983, $737 after 25% off, and a final cost of $687 after the $50 off coupon. $687 for what usually goes for $1,000-$1,200 on Amazon and other places.

https://www.overstock.com/coupons, click on $50 off order of $600 to activate

Enjoy!!

I just have a Apple Watch but my mom and grandma both have Rolex’s. My uncle has about 10 in a safe that he never wears. My mom has a Tag too but never really wore it after my dad got her the Rolex for their 10th wedding anniversary in like 2004.
