Bonus time is watch time in my house. My candidates are kind of all over the place this year. Which one would you guys pick: A. Seiko 300m Marinemaster....I have wanted one of these for quite a while and the price keeps inching up. Is it time?  B. Tag Heuer Aquaracer. The cheap choice....I love the caseback.  C. Baume & Mercier Capeland S Chrono. Another one I have had my eye on for a while.  What do you say?? Help a brother out!

I'd go with the B&M amongst those choices. I'd get the non-chrono version myself (just have no need for a chrono). The Seiko would be out for me because you can't hand wind it. Otherwise it would be a strong contender. Tag is Tag. I have never been too crazy for their designs. However, the one on your list is exceptional looking. Nice choice. I also mentioned in another post here to consider the Marcello C watches that Island Watch has. Here is a link to the Marcello C site: http://www.marcelloc-watches.com/home/index.html http://www.marcelloc-watches.com/home/index.html

You can handwind that particular Seiko. The Marinemaster is every bit the equal of a Rollie Sub in function and quality. I like the Marcello C's too and Mark is a great guy to do business with. Add another one to the list! Last edited on Tue Dec 5th, 2006 10:00 pm by Foster |

I had no idea Seiko made a watch you could hand wind.coyote2.gif It must be a more exclusive model than most Seiko's. Thanks for the info. I learn something new here all the time. hand6.gif

I believe that SK Marine Master is limited to 500 pieces. I would get it if I could. Would you mind tell me where?

No problem! Seiko makes a bunch of watches for the Japanese market that are much higher in quality than most of the watches we see in North America. EDIT: You can get it from Seya Japan: http://seiyajapan.com/c=Hhadka33l9LnEfvjPRRhHcH9A/ Or Higuchi Watches http://www.higuchi-inc.com/index-e.html Both ship directly from Japan.

I have held and played with the Seiko MM for several weeks now, trying to fall in love with it....and as you who know me know that I luv Seiko watches, I simply cannot get excited about the Marine Master......It's a $1600plus watch and, quite frankly, I get off a little more on the Monster...............That said, I vote for the Baume & Mercier.... Great watch from a great old line company!!!!

Well, I'd chose the B&M, but then I do love the Capeland design-- here's mine (LE #70 of 170): Attachment: B&Mchrono_front.JPG (Downloaded 35 times)
