Omega Speedmaster vs Seiko SNK809

Since then, there have been a myriad of variations and limited editions, but the models that have the ultimate staying power are the Moon watches, wit...

The crown at the 4 o'clock position further makes the watch comfortable to wear since it doesn't dig into my wrist when I extend it.. The movement is the 7s26 automatic which is a proven and durable movement. Mine keeps time at the +3 seconds a day

\- Omega Speedmaster reduced : I really like the look of a chronograph and the speedmaster really caught my eye. My wrist is really small so I think this would be a good fit. \- Blancpain leman flyback (Grande date if possible) : I just love the looks of this watch and it's probably the first in my heart.

Lo and behold, though, the SNK809 won over another first timer. I ended up polishing up the case to make it look a little sharper and changed out the stock band for brown leather. I real love this thing. To me, the polished look gives it just that added bit of beauty

I pulled the trigger end of last year to celebrate making it to “president’s club” (shoutout sales people!). It is usually on the Omega leather strap that came with the set, except during summer.

I'm OK with that because I just don't care anymore. +11 seconds a day just means I adjust it back a minute or so every week. But if you're looking for quartz accuracy, no automatic movement is going to sit well with you. The only real negative thing about the SNK809 is the strap

and perhaps more importantly, it's helpful to know that the watch you're getting has the correct parts. This is especially true for vintage Speedmaste...

It's pretty good on the accuracy, but I've found it does tend to run a little fast, and after a week or two I'm running a couple of minutes fast, so I do have to adjust the time every now and then if I don't want to be 5+ minutes ahead all the time. It doesn't wind down on me though, as long as I wear it every day there's no need to constantly adjust the time, which is nice. If I go more than a day then I have to wind it again, but that's really not terrible, and I just set the date and time and get back to work. It's also surprisingly quiet

So because of that I would definitely recommend going to your ad enticing it out for yourself so you can get a feeling for it. Okay, so now that you k...

I'm not a fan of the gargantuan dishplate-sized watches that are in vogue today. This watch is the perfect size in my opinion. Some might consider the dial a bit busy and harder to read, but I like the look. The brushed metal finish is nice too
