I was at the bank and the teller told me I had a nice watch and that it looked expensive and asked if it was a Rolex. I told him it was a Seiko and cost 350 and he was shocked. I then told him it tracked three time zones and he was blown away. Made my …
Continue readingThe Unofficial Traska Watches Thread
Post pictures of your Traska watches! This thread is well overdue.
Continue readingI now have two of these beauties and I’ll provide a mini-review of them. The one I’m missing is the Freediver, so I’ll leave that one up to others. I think Traska makes the ultimate affordable watch simply because they hit that sweet spot of $500usd (give or take) while doing a much better job of packing in more value for that amount. You get everything you’d expect at this pricepoint like sapphire crystals, excellent…

The new new official NTH thread.
Greetings, members of Watchuseek forums and all those who lurk but don’t join (yes, we know you’re out there, skulking in the shadows)!
Continue readingAs the last official NTH thread has now exceeded 15,000 posts, I figure it’s time to start a new official thread, if only to make discussion of what we’re doing seem less intimidating to forum newcomers, with a thread that isn’t 750+ pages already.
If you need to know me as the owner of the brand, I’m Chris, though many call me “Doc”, because of my user…
