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) |

Seiko...........if I was going to use it as a tool watch. B and M for sheer looks and heritage. I agree with Mike, if you dont need a chrono, go with the diver. Watchseller had one at a good pricehand6.gif |

First off congrats on a nice bonus and the opportunity to pick up something so nice. I like all the watches you've got here... Not much of a complications guys so I would take the chrono out thought I love the design. Very nice. If the MM has been a desire of yours...get it. I haven't yet found my love for the watch but realize it is a Hell of a watch. Personally I would go for the Tag. Very classic!! JMHO!! Pax |

I like the non-chrono version of the B&M too, but the best deals I can currently find on it are at Overstock and Slop....not exactly places where I want to be dropping more than $1000 on a watch.....or anything else for that matter. |

Foster were you not looking at a Doxa earlier in the year, if so they have a COSC 750 at the watchseller with the wrap still on it. Out of those pics I would go with the B&M, the MarcelloC is a nice piece though, and Marc is great to deal with, and they do make some chronographs. |

I was considering a Divingstar earlier in the year, but the new GMT proved to be too rich for my blood. Thanks for the heads up on the C.O.S.C.....I'll check that one out. |
