So - I didn't get a true total impression of every watch as most needed to be adjusted to fit my wrist - but overall general impressions: the leather'ish band/straps are definitey not my favorite (Nomos, and Hamilton for example), some rubber straps (the non-depolyable / clasp style) feel pretty good - Doxa, I'm looking at you - if it was orange, I might have gone home with two! I really liked pretty much every watch there. They all something unique about them. My hands down favorite was the Omega Seamaster...the color, the band, the fit / finish, a complete amazing package - but I couldn't justify the price, today. I really liked the Tissot Carbon - really unique! The Seikos are super impressisve - especially for the money!! Our guide, Javier ("Javey") was wearing the Seiko Cocktail Time - almost went home with one of those too, very, very elegant, at a NICE price! He changed the strap out to a nicer, blue alligator strap, it really elevated it! Definitely worth the visit to Teddy's - we were there for several hours and looked at all the displays, got the full tour, etc. They do a nice business and I would definitely go again! They are all watch people....NOT watch snobs - key difference! |

Great post OP! I really should stay out of this forum. This site makes my credit card scream as it is, but this corner is a whole different ballgame. I love the Hamilton. Your take home is classy as all get out. Thanks for the pics. |
10,000 years ago there was a 2 mile thick glacier parked right here and not 1 SUV to melt it.
