Since the previous thread by @sgtlmj went into the archives, I thought I'd post a new one. I'm even starting with a very similar watch.
I'd been casually looking at the Seiko SBDC061/SBDC063, and eBay's 15% off anything sale the other day finally pushed me over the edge. I previously had the SBDC061 on my watch list, but since I'm not really a bracelet guy and don't have any watches with blue on them, I decided to go for the SBDC063. Chino Watch didn't have the best price, but they did have the best feedback and were only a couple of dollars more than the cheapest. They also have a very good reputation on the watch boards. Anyway, $628 later, and it's on the plane from Japan.

I would buy another watch, but a deadbeat buyer on eBay has left me and my watch funds hanging.
 That Seiko is awesome. They really need to step up and re-issue the 6105-8110 though. https://wornandwound.com/a-look-at-seikos-early-divers/

^ Congrats, great watches. I had a 6309 as a kid so I had to get the reissue. I sent mine off to get bead blasted by Duarte at NEWW.

They also have a SBDC061, which has a bracelet and black insert, while the 063 has a silicon strap and gunmetal blue insert.

I see people talking about "discount codes"; how do you find them? My next purchase may very well be a GShock GSteel 300 series. I like the idea of a metal GShock and the 300 series is slightly less gargantuan than the original 100 series. Should wear a little smaller than the specs indicate since I’ll be getting the regular steel with a silicone strap. Best part is, the wife okay’d it. |

Down the Marathon rabbit hole again. I'm currently without an auto and all my other watches are .mil issue. Can't break out of the pattern. I'm going to give this one a good month on the wrist and see if I can learn to like the actual watch as much as the idea of the watch.

I love that era of SD and Sub, and prefer them to newer versions. Probably 5-7 k pre-owned. 2500$ or so savings over a new one as well. As for choosing a Rolex, There has always been sort of a joke about them. Their prices wildly increased far, and far ahead of competitive models. The joke usually goes something along the lines of- Seiko makes the world’s best 1000$ dive watch. It costs 1000$. Someone askes what about Rolex. And you reply, No, not Rolex. Their $1000 dive watch costs four grand. |

While I’m going to pick up a nice Omega one of these days, my next watch will probably be one of these. The latest version has a lot of tech to track heart health, and after having a heart attack, that will be useful.
