Amazing.

I like the display on Suunto Core, pretty cool. Is it a sapphire crystal?
[Reply]

Looks like the Suunto Cores are available on Ebay for $219.00
Manufacturer website say it is Mineral Crystal

What I am trying to figure out is the size, it looks HUGE!

Anything you want me to take a comparison picture with? It's smaller than my Invicta for sure.

Hey guys, my wife just surprised me with this:

To be honest it wasn't my first chose but after wearing it for a few moments I started really liking it. I normally do go for the complications, but in person they don't distract from the watch at all, very tasteful.

Nice hit .. watch hit that is! My dad is 87 and has had the same Seiko dive watch (if you could call it when he got it) since the late 60s.

Edit: I know that isn't a dive watch, btw. :-)

Very classy looking!:-)

Not really, I have another watch on my want list.

My Laco is 42mm and with my little wrists I wouldn't want to go much larger than that.

What's the story with that watch? Is it an auto or quartz? Has classic styling and not too big. Nice.

It's from the Seiko "Premier" line, they are kinetic direct drive watches. Meaning they use a combination of quartz and automatic movements. The complication on the left is the power reserve, and I can definatly feel the winder moving when I move the watch, even more so than my Breitling SO, so it is driven from movement, but power from the movement is feed into a quart movement. The second hand 'ticks' like a quartz, it doesn't sweep like a good auto. I am rambling a bit due to not yet knowing a lot about this movement. It has an incredibly high quality leather band and clasp. The only other watch I have with a leather band is a Lum-Tec and I switch bands regularly, and this one feels better. It also has a Sapphire crystal, which is a must for me.

So far I like it even thought it is a lot dressy-er than any other watch I own, which I think was my wife's intention...

Looks like a deployment clasp, is that so?
[Reply]

Yes, it has a deployment clasp.

No worries man

Stopped at the jeweler Monday to pick up my Tag, told them how upset I was and that I'd be taking my business elsewhere. They made a couple calls and were able to track down the last service on it they had done. After talking it over, they are going to send it directly to Tag, and are going to eat some of the repair costs. The movement wasn't completely seized as I was able to move the hands using the crown, but I couldn't check the chronos since the battery was still dead. Hoping for a much better estimate this time around...
