A Seiko GMT. Specifically the SSK005, with this rather dashing orange finish.

My ancient phone camera doesn't do it justice of course, though thankfully there's a whole Internet out there with all sorts of pictures to better show off the dial. The bezel has a neat trick too, with half of it changing color dependent on the angle, the idea being it makes it easier to see at a general glance if it's day or night in the time zone you're tracking.

Cool. I've been thinking of getting a mechanical watch. I think I'm going to go with an Orient Bambino or Seiko Cocktail time.

What other watches do you have?

I had a discount code from a previous purchase to bring it down from 475 to 400 even.

I really like it too. I was torn between this and the blue for the longest time.

I was debating one of those as well later, maybe even for my friend that's planning on getting married next year. Think it'd be a fun way to remember that day.

I only have two watches; this GMT and another Seiko, an SRPG27 that I use as my work watch.

Wow very nice watch! I just wore my Seiko SKX today, the Seiko 5 movements are phenomenal for the money! Love the orange!

Good call on the Orient Bambino! Got one in December and have been wearing it even more than all my other watches. I love a great bang for buck watch. This Orient Bambino Small Seconds blows me away when it comes to value for money. Fantastic piece.

Here's a pic of my first watch, the Srpg27 along with the GMT. A very straightforward, but still handsome watch in my eyes.

They're very photogenic, even with my horrible phone camera. I want a blue dial next, or a green. Or both, like a turquoise.

Oh God GameFAQs murdered these pics.

My Galaxy Watch5 Pro is my daily driver but man when I see these mechanical watches, I just want to bust out my Breitling SuperOcean and rock that for a while.
