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

[RFC]

OK, I think I'm done for now. I briefly dipped my toe back in the watch addiction and managed to snag two very nice pieces. The PADI version just arrived today and I immediately took off the bracelet. It's a nice bracelet, but this is the look I want. With three new Zulu straps, I'm good to go for a while.

Happy Friday!

Thanks! A good friend and colleague, who is still much a southern belle, always tells me that red is a neutral color.

Orange is always a good choice. Looks great!

Haven't worn a watch in years, but I might like to so I clicked on this thread. But, damn, I do not have time for 46 pages.

I haven't seen much mention of Luminox. Any opinions? This one caught my eye, but $600 seems pricey for a quartz watch.

Now there is a watch with my name on it . . .

BTW, for anybody interested, my brother is a watch dealer and gets very cool and very exclusive pieces.

PM for info.

Sounds like we have something in common.

U1 is on my wrist now, as it is almost every day. I have some omegas as well; two speedmasters, and some old dress omegas that are fun to wear, but rarely worn.

The u1 is one tough watch, and mine has proven to be extremely accurate.

Or a Tudor, Rolex guts.

Over a year later and I may take this advice...

I still love my custom Wilk but I'm thinking about moving my daily Orient for a Tudor Ranger. The Orient was a great proof of concept for a daily worn auto but I want to ditch the date complication and lust for the Ranger.

I picked up one of these NTH Tudor snowflake sub homages, this week...Since I don't see myself buying a vintage blue, anytime soon.

Little smaller than I prefer, at 40mm...but...wears nice otherwise.

Great lume, nice solid bezel action, 300m WR, and 11mm thivkness...mot bad.

[phcollard]
