Watches

i have several eco-drives, and as long as you wear them regularly (i tend to rotate through them) you wont even have to worry about the charge level, my first was bought in 2013 and still works just fine.

Face: black, easy to read, not picky on arabic, stick, don't want roman numerals
Bezel and bracelet: ti or SS but not too highly polished
No gold or two-tone
Don't need a dive bezel but I do like the look
Don't care about the day/date but not against it either if it's easily readable
Prefer ti and sapphire crystal, but mineral crystal is not a deal breaker

This is sexy, but I really think I'd be happier with an Eco-Drive in the long run.

Nice choice, one of the better economy real swiss brands. Others I like are Oris, Certina and Longines.

Sure you are, you went down the Porsche rabbit hole, so you’re more than ready. A cool feature of that watch is it’s inconspicuous, the average observer won’t know it’s anything special, not even the loud-shirt with their Subs and blinged out Daytonas. Only watch geeks and others who appreciate taste and refinement will notice.

I was introduced to Oris recently and I was really impressed. I was looking at a Seamaster Diver 300M in blue at my local AD and he asked if I was familiar with Oris. He showed me an Aquis in blue and I got to try it on and compared it side by side with the Seamaster and I was very impressed with the Aquis, especially at less than half the price of the Seamaster. I need to try to get my wife to the store with me to shop for a new diver watch for each of us and Oris is on the top of the list. We already have a pair of Longines and they're great watches too. I think they're under rated.

Yeah, if you're willing to wait 2-5 years for a GMT Master II without going to a scalper, I mean reseller.
 
I saw a sky-dweller, blue face, in an ad.
Haven't seen one before - it is expensive, but the interior ring doesn't scream expensive.
kinda disappointed, but not surprised, at the price.

I think the blue is new. Most Sky Dweller have precious metal case which is why the price is so high. All have fluted bezel which is only made of precious metal.

Luxury watches are an emotional decision, you need to get the one that’s “you” or you’ve been lusting after. That’s why I say buy once cry once, don’t waste money on cheaper substitutes because your going to end with what you want eventually.

My buddy tried to sell me his never-worn Daytona.
you are right - it isn't me. even at an aggressive price I couldn't do it.

I'm kinda old now - if i'm buying a Daytona, it would be a Ferrari.

I find that most people who buy Daytonas buy them as an investment, not because they particularly like or need the chronograph complication but to sell it for profit. The Co-Axial Speedmaster I think is a better Chronograph anyway.
