@Bike N Gear Talk to me about the weight difference between the Omega 300 and the Pelagos. On paper is 194g versus 107g and you wore yours often enough that I'm sure you have a realistic opinion.

If I was buying one of these, I'd wear it often. I see no reason to leave it in a drawer for special occasions. Hence why the Pelagos keeps getting my attention.

I wear mine daily. It felt heavy for less than a week, then I just got use to the weight. Now if I wear any other watch I feel naked.

Had some time today and stop by Eli Adam's in rochelle park. Decent amount of selection. Ended up buying 2 because it's a hard decision. Nothing too fancy, and I would've liked to have checked out some Omegas, but they don't sell them.

You're not wrong. We don't need watches since we all have smart phones, we want watches because they're artistic and mechanical marvels.

I have a few, a mix of fashion quartz watches and mechanical.

This is the one that I’ve been wearing most lately. A very beat up but still reliable Seiko 5. I like its compact, shrunk down size. It came on a steel bracelet but it was not the best. So now it’s on a narrow leather strap. I think the washed out pink pairs well with the muted caramel brown.

I also have a few divers watches. The timing bezel is never endingly useful. I love to cook so it’s particularly handy for that purpose.

This one is an skx013 sized homage from Long Island Watch. Do you know the brand? I’m a big fan of both the YT channel and watches.

I like its textured waffle iron dial and classic Seiko design cues. The lume is nice too!

@natlady10 LIW makes some cool looking stuff. At some point when I'm out there I will stop in to take a look.
