 sorry for these types of post but .............

Yao stingray or Seiko Sumo...................

I like the Yao for the excellent build quality and ETA movement. the 42mm case is right at the minimum and I wonder if I might tire of it?

Sumo 45mm case, bracelet whih I am a bracelet guy. Upgraded Seiko movement. Less money. Drawback to me...still a bit of a Rolex clone type diver.

Maybe i just dont need another watchcrap.gif

 As much as I like the look of the stingray, I'm jonesing for one of those Sumos and I'm also a bracelet guy so that's the way I would go.

 "....Maybe i just dont need another watch..."



As my late Mother would admonish us kids: "Now what kind of talk is that? Shame on you!"

 The Stingray is next on my list once some others arrive that are on order.....it uses a sweet eta with incabloc shock sysytem...a big plus for me,and that vintage fifty fathoms look along with the size make it a Classic for years to come imhohand6.gif

 My vote is the Sumo. Great looking watch, nice bracelet and super reliable. Nice size too. I do like the classic look of the Stingray but I agree it might seem small. If the diameter is 42mm then the actual dial size must be really small. Look at how wide the bezel ring is.

 Sumo.  Wonderful watch all the way around.  More unique case with a very cool semi-shrouded bezel.  I only wish it had a sapphire crystal...

 Stingray...without a doubt.  The Sumo is great, don't get me wrong, but in my opinion the Stingray is much more special...better crystal, ETA movement, custom choices, fifty-fathom homage, etc.

The Stingray is on my list too.

Good luck,

E
