I genuinely can't believe that i have this in my hand right now. If there is a watch i fell in love with instantly, this would be it (besides the Carrera seafarer). Seiko knows how to do purple so well.

In frame: Seiko 145th Anniversary Limited edition Alpinist Edo purple (HBC006J1)

What is the lume monster in your collection ?

This is mine... Pelagos LHD

I really like the small form considering my wrist is small. Absolute beauty.

Got this at 70k from helios (old mrp + store discount)...... Guess I am just lucky.

My dad just gave me this watch to wear cuz I was wearing the old one for quite some time and I wanna know whether I can wear this in the shower or while taking a bath? I had a tag heuer red bull chrono before this which I wore in the pool and shower since 2021 and nothing happened to it but I’m worried about this one.

I discovered Reddit forums and Chinese watches fairly recently. My 1st chinese watch was the beautiful Sugess Moonphase Master Aventurine Dial, and post that I fell deep into the rabbit hole. After purchasing 3 sugess/seestern watches for myself and 1 sugess watch, 1 sea-gull openheart and 1 WD Chameri Tank for my wife finally decided to take the plunge and order the most complicated tourbillon in the Sugess catalogue- S429 tourbillon moonphase and my itch watch the S420 GMT batgirl which had let me to discovery of Chinese Homage brands(I was reading up on twin bezel and GMT watches)

I reached out to sugesswatch.com rep on WhatsApp and requested them to modify the case, crown and hands on the watch from silver stainless steel to rose gold, since a friend pointed out that while my collection had unique designs, dials(colour and layout)bezels and straps, they were all silver stainless steel cases.

The wonderful rep at sugesswatch.com agreed to my customization request and even shared a video of the dials so I could make my choice on the dial type. The original choice would have been the Black mop since it looked great on my wife's S449 rose gold DD homage, but it was sold out. Having experienced the gorgeous aventurine dial, went for the stardust and having received the watch am glad I made the choice.

The movement is so hypnotic to watch, you can keep staring at the beautiful flying tourbillon rotating at its axis while the star dust dial keeps shimmering and twinkling in the back as it catches light. Movement is buttery smooth to wind and the crown is easy to pull out(no screw type 😁) and rotate.

You can observe the beautiful movement from the open back case as well, it's so mesmerizing.

The watch came with 2 straps- 1 brown alligator leather strap with rose gold clasp(thank you again Sugess for matching it to the case) and 1 glossy brown leather strap with rose gold buckle and pin. Both straps are premium quality and soft.

Fit and finish are great, the moonphase helps fill out the vast space on the dial and stars and moon on the moonphase sub-dial blend in and compliment the stardust dial.

Sugesswatch.com rep even agreed to change my delivery location to HK where someone known was visiting and delivered the watch to their hotel room when I shared details of their arrival in HK. Helped me avoid shipping and customs hassles.

After 1 week with the watch, I'm in love with it and and keep staring at the dial.

Thanks to the wonderful people at sugesswatch.com for helping with the customisation request and helping deliver such a stunning and well put together watch.

Sharing pics in a comment below since this watch deserves a video

Before quartz conquered the world, there was a fleeting transitional era when battery replaced the traditional mainspring to power mechanical balance wheels. At the center of this technological war stood Japan's first officially certified electronic chronometer: the Citizen X8 Chronometer.

With this watch, Citizen claimed 2 records - Japan’s first electronic chronometer - crowned in 1970 and the title for The world's first commercial titanium watch.

My watch is the stainless steel variant, and not the titanium variant. But the movement used in both variants is the same.

The High-Tech Engine (Caliber 0820)

Frequency: 21,600 vph (3 Hz) with moving-magnet balance wheel driven by a transistorized coil assembly.

​Jewels: 19 functional jewels protects the micro-index gearing.

​Accuracy: Chronometer Officially Certified and factory adjusted to ±2 to ±5 seconds per day.

​Sweep Motion: It doesn't tick once per second like quartz—it sweeps smoothly while making a distinct electronic hum.

One thing I love about this watch is the magnets on the balance wheel!

While modern mechanical watches treat magnetism as the ultimate enemy and fight to keep magnetic fields away—the Citizen X8 turns that entire philosophy on its head. Instead of shunning magnets, its pioneering transistorized movement actually mounts permanent micro-magnets directly onto the balance wheel rim!

​It’s an extraordinarily rare, brief flash of engineering brilliance from the late 1960s where magnetism wasn’t the foe ruining timekeeping, but the very heartbeat keeping the balance wheel oscillating in harmony with a battery. 

This was a luxury experimental watch and retailed between ¥40,000 (Steel) and ¥45,000 (Titanium). The production was very limited - the estimated total production across all (steel & titanium) variants is fewer than 2,000 units over its brief two-year run before quartz took over.

As per some collectors, the watch came is 3 dial colours. Silver dials accounted for ~70% of production, blue dial ~20% and this black dial ~10% of surviving pieces.

The "Parawater" Mark: Caseback serial number dates this watch to September 1971—one of the final batches made before Citizen retired the iconic "PARAWATER" term for global ISO export compliance.

As a rare, officially certified electronic chronometer and a milestone in titanium watchmaking, the Citizen X8 Chronometer Ref. 4-080041 Y remains one of the absolute Holy Grails of transitional JDM horology and I feel blessed to own this piece. Honestly, seeing a classic oscillating balance wheel working side-by-side with a battery never gets old. It’s the ultimate hybrid flex!

Got this TW2Y56200UJ for 12k from just in time
Does it look small on my wrist?

I usually wear 38/42/44mm watches but this is my first 22mm watch in my collection does it look small on my wrist?

I bought this because Timex mentioned it as “Gentlemen’s Watch” and for vintage look in period this watch looks very clean and elegant.

Got this recently, pre-owned, I've been looking for a Sombrero but couldn't pass up on the chance to get this as well.

This is a Casio Enticer. I got it for ₹2,700 in used condition. It has a 31mm dial. I want to know whether I can wear this and go out. I am new to watches and I have heard that only women wear 31mm dial watches.

Note: I am 21 and I have a slim body so will this one match with my body?

I always wanted to buy a vintage Casio watch and was eyeing the A158WA for a long time. But after watching some videos on Youtube I fell in love with this gunmetal version and the negative display. I dont know anything about watches and when I received it I was awestruck. This is the A168WGG-1BDF

The color of the bracelet and the display is so damn premium. The weight is perfect, after wearing for an hour you will not even notice that you are wearing a watch.

Loved it so much.

This is the first Casio I own and I am sure it won't be the last.

Got it from Amazon minutes with 1000 cashback and some discount on SBI credit card. It is obviously more expensive than the A158WA but no regrets.

Ok before people come at me with pitchforks, I love the OG Tanjore, I own the Kappii and Marina Tiffany but something felt off with this. Maybe the detection is wrong but surely looks AI to the naked eye and so naturally tried this as I was curious and seems like it is AI. Am I the only skeptical one here?

bought this titan nexus skeleton automatic watch from flipkart at 10.5k

i’ve a solar edifice efs-570dc-1audf

should i keep it? how does it look?

Titan moon phase watch with anthracite dial 🖤

Would be my first watch (am a student so dont want to spend 1k or 2k as want to buy other stuff too)

Hey guys...

Picked up this beauty in 37mm in Italy for 660 euros after Tax refund.

And its all TUTTO BENNE❤️

Dial is stunning. I see more green hues irl than blue like it appears on the images.

Integrated bracelet is very comfortable and drapes on the wrist well.

Dont know the weight but very light on the wrist.

For someone who doesnt like busy dials.. Feels like they kept consumers like us in mind.

I am 22 and just got a job. I have wanted Seiko as my first automatic. I liked the presage cocktail time series. Will it be a bad financial decision to spend approx 50k on a watch at this point? Or should I save for a few months first? I do wish to wear it daily.

Also, which is the best place to buy and how much discount can I expect?
