OT: Watch suggestions <$1k (Sinn 556i)

I am the least tattooed, "tattoo guy" that you have ever met.

Shortsleeves, chest, upper back, and shoulders...that's it. All large pieces, only (except for a little shop tag we all did on our 15th anniversary)...no little bangers...no filler.

Need a tattoo thread..How do you decide who will ink you? I can't imagine somebody else working on my bikes, building my wheels.

Just the simple black 42. With watches that I wear, I'm more a classic type of guy, no orange bezel for me.

I love this thread and check it often, but you guys know that we are several times over the price value the OP originally asked about.

BTW here is a post (repost) of my Omega Speedy Broad Arrow that is everything the Moon Watch is not. It's an automatic, it has a date, it has a mineral crystal. Love it, traded my moon watch for it years ago and never looked back. Just wish it had a display back. It's currently on its bracelet, I need to pick up another of those perforated straps, this one finally wore out.

Careful consideration...

I'm the wrong guy to ask though...I've only been tattooed by (2) people...my business partner (Brad Fink) and our longest standing tattoo artist (Josh Chapman), here at the shop.

thanks, the 40mm is the key. i always liked the oris divers but the 45 or whatever was a nonstarter for my girly wrists. this wears pretty close to a 38mm due to the shape of the case.

nice!

however, and I'm about the last person that would ever recommend not doing n+1 with watches...

but

dont you already have a watch that is pretty much the same style wise? I suppose one could argue having the date makes it completely different.

Mind you this is coming from a person that just bought three watches in the last week with the rational he would pick one out of the three he likes the most and move along the others. This probably wont happen...

maybe i should make it 4?

never had an oris.

ha!

i own so many classically styled dive watches i dont know where to start. there is no logic to it!

warning: the oris divers come in a few case sizes, best to try these on before you buy, they all wear pretty differently.

thanks for that, i thought it was the same as yours only in silver. the one i linked is 43mm. that is way too big for a dive watch on my wrist.

Nice Oris.

My SKX007 fills my automatic diver niche. Given that I have only one winder I think that might be my only auto for a while.

[MattTuck]

Why is it that I only seem to like the watches, that upon further inspection, cost the most?
