The Best Watch for Casual wearing

I came across to see this beautiful Royal Oak from A Watch Magazine... Nice watch needs no extra hands, date or day display. Simplicity is the essence for a causal watch for my everyday use...
I am looking for this watch and will be in one of the best three search items on my watch list.

My Hiking Watches


I used to have a Sunnto Hiking watch, then switched to a Tissot Touch Plus Titanium watch,
The Sunnto was gone due to my mistake in damaging the battery cover latch. Tissot was dead after using for three years and I sent to repair, Now is OK.. My next consideration is this Casio as I have seen a lot of Hikers are using this watch. Besides, I have a LL Bean which I recently used a lot for Hiking! LL bean is in fact Hamilton watch, built with simple solid piece of Steel plated with Chrome, hand wind, sturdy design. It can keep time well under extreme temperature conditions But it is a bit small in size.

The Casio Pro Trek. Triple Sensor, Tough Solar with Titanium strip.
There a few verison of diffferent prie tags, Made in Japan and Thailand have 2X price difference.

Friend of mine told me that there is another version that can have Radar-Satellite detection signal code included. Which mean, if some with loss in the jungle, signal transmission to tell helicopter the position!
Beitling used to have a special for Pilot that has a function of sending RF signal to nearby rescue station for alert. I have seen that, quite expensive!

Grand Seiko 2008


This is a purely item for those who are collector, as it is hard to build a Grand Seiko and harder to find one outside Japan.

As This is a very special watch from Seiko which is running at 38,000 Cycle per hours. It is a challenge to the watch design in reliability particularly the escapement design, lubrication and friction control.

It was sold in HK for HKD$36,000.00.  Who Could Afford to buy a Seiko with this price!? As I said, only watch collector watch appreciator.

This is almost new, unused, with all boxes, certificates and booklets!

Special AP Auto Men's Wrist Watch

I have seen this watch was  in Some of the most decent watch shop in Tsim Sha Tsui 1990.
I had been watching in the window for hours and I could imagine that it was some of thes best Swiss Craftmanship that money can buy!.

Well, It is a Gold watch with likely the same movement of the Royal Oak 2130 movement, may be some modification. Full decor with carvings on the rotor, solid, heavy with the size of it, shinning, beautiful and most of all, Slim...Note that there is double shock absorber built for best reliability.

For hose who like to have a piece of dress watch for your ball. Of course, he must be at least 45 or more...who could admire the glorious days of HK in the 80's.

Seiko 200m Diver's watch, Automatic with attractive Orange dial

n
This is a new watch I bought yesterday, a Seiko, Traditional Automatic watch.
Automatic is alway preferred than Kinetic Power as the storage battery iniside the Seiko Kinetic Power watch will fail in 5-8 years. Then you have to send the watch for replcament, it is about HKD$150.00. So Kinetic is not too popular as it was launched some 10 years ago!
This Sieko is big at 42mm diameter, the dial has been sputerred with Luminous material with Big indictaing hands. I like the orange dial. That was the reason I bought it.
