[srpj85k1] Just got my 1st field watch

I don't have a field watch in my collection yet so I decided to get this. Original plan was to get a Timex solar field watch but this one changed my mind...Got it for the equivalent of $228 USD.

Is it normal for the seastar 1000 to slide down the wrist?

Just bought a seastar 1000 gmt quartz with rubber strap and when the strap is on the 6th notch, it feels too tight and uncomfortable but when it is on the 5th notch, it fits behind the ulna perfectly when seating but it slides down to my wrist where it feels too loose when walking. The best solution I found is to just wear it front of the ulna while on the 6th hole.

I also have a prx forged carbon with rubber straps and I don't have the same issue. Is this just the nature of diver watches because of their weight? This is my 1st diver so I am still figuring out the most comfortable way to wear it.

Thank you!

Just got a quartz seastar 1000 gmt

Decided to get this one as my diver/gmt watch. I went with a quartz this time(I already own an automatic PRX).

Got this for around $98

I have much more expensive watches but this is becoming one of my favorites. Got this for the equivalent of $98 last weekend.

[SSA425J1] Not the most popular model but I absolutely love the open heart style 60s design.

Bought this last week as one of my starter watches(I'm new to the hobby). I'm a fan of dark dials so I immediately wanted to get this the moment I saw it.

Bought a $98 Casio edifice as my beater watch.

I bought this watch today for the equivalent of $98. For the price, it actually looks quite nice. I will most likely use this as my beater watch.

Decided to wear my dad's old G-shock

Since it will be father's day this Sunday, I decided to wear this for the whole weekend to celebrate him. He died on 2019 so this watch is very meaningful for me.

I am getting hooked to watches

Bought my 1st automatic watch yesterday(Tissot). I had no plans of buying a new watch today but I passed by a Seiko store and saw a presage on sale so I decided to buy it.

​

This is my current collection so far. The lacoste quartz watch is the first ever watch I bought using my own money 12 years ago so I am keeping it for nostalgia. The gshock used to be owned by my dad. He passed away last 2019 so this watch is very important to me.

​

I am not a watch guy but I suddenly got interested with them. I am turning 40 next year so I guess that plays a part in my interests changing. I collect retro consoles and games but I am starting to lose my passion for it. I am feeling the same excitement for watches that I used to feel for retro gaming.

Decided to get theTissot PRX carbon

I posted a few days ago asking questions about automatic watches. I received a lot of helpful replies so I finally decided to get one. I was originally targetting the gentleman model but it was not in stock. When I saw the PRX carbon, I immediately fell in love with it.

Planning to buy my first automatic watch. Need some guidance.

I am not a watch collector or expert. I have always owned quartz watches so I have no experience owning a mechanical one. I am planning to buy my first automatic watch(most likely Tissot) and I want to make sure that I have all the facts before buying one.

I know that automatic watches need regular servicing. The question I have is how often should one be serviced and how much does it usually cost here? Can I bring my watch to any reputable watch repair stall or should I only bring it to a licensed service center for the brand?

I plan to wear it daily(even at home). It will basically replace my smart watch(except on workouts). I sometimes bump my smart watch on doors and walls. Will this be an issue for automatics? Should I be concerned with durability?

Anything else that I should know about automatics?

Store recommendations for Tissot

I am looking for a Tissot gentleman powermatic watch and I am wondering if there are any stores carrying it in Trinoma. I am open to other brand/model reccomendations as well(max budget of 80k). This will be my first expensive watch purchase so any advice is welcome. Thank you!
