Hamilton has good variety, especially the khaki lines.
I’m personally looking for something like the Sinn 104 or 556 for some overseas trips next year.
But also just about any micro brand works; Baltic, yema, zelos, formex, traska?
This is a good opportunity to add something to your collection that you otherwise wouldn’t have. Keep us updated!

Citizen Eco-Drive. Set and forget for 15-20 years. Lots of Titanium options as well.

Richard Mille?


😉😎::stirthepot::

I know it’s been discussed whether this particular watch was even authentic but no Seiko for Odell. His Mille was meant for contact 😀

This is my " I might have a beer too many and do something stupid at the punk festival" watch.
Citizen BM8180-03E Eco-drive, like bugbait said above "set and forget" as long as it gets a little light. And it looks good too. Here it is on a Vostok bracelet, original canvas strap looks cool, but the holes are spaced too far apart.

Thanks for everyone’s input. I was interested in a aqua terra and also a blackbay 58. The tudors resemble Rolex especially from a distance so I feel like that would be a ideal choice. Marathon, CWC, sinn, seiko are ones I’m looking into as well. cheers!

The answer is SKX, 5KX, or 5KX GMT.

I have a Yema, its not bad but I wouldn't buy again and wouldn't recommend it.

I think the new Seiko GMT should be a contender here.

Any time I have traveled I have never considered what watch I was wearing. Mind you, I am in the United States, and... let's just say what's on my face reflects what I feel, and sometimes people cross the street when they see me.

I might lose a watch... but since the last one who tried it didn't succeed, I'm not concerned.

It might not be because they see you.

How droll.

I always just travel with my Speedmaster (3861), but I really enjoy my Serica 4512 WMB as well. 38mm field watch and fairly indestructible (thus far). And the the mix of brushed and polished goes well with everything. Looks great on lots of straps, but the bonklip bracelet is so easy to adjust if my wrist swells.

I mean you where asking for it with that screen name.

I was going to say I guess that settles if you smell more like a Prince or a Skunk.

😉 all love.
