I hope this is not too basic for this forum. I am just an ignorant old dude hoping to get information from someone who knows stuff

In 2003, I bought a stainless steel Luminox 3200 series Navy Seal watch. I wanted a watch that would be decent looking, I could read in the dark (neat tritium tubes), I could wear in the shower, was fairly rugged and low maintenance, and had a reasonable price.

Since then, I have very rarely had it off my wrist. The band now shows evidence of wear, the…

Perfectly following up their Not-Submariner and Not-GMT-Master is the new Not-Explorer! Remember when Monta had design language? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Not no more they don't! Now it's just Rolex rip offs up and down the line. The only thing left is to turn the Noble into the Not-Datejust, which is probably on track for 2027.

Lorier Olympia "Contrasto" showed up on Friday. LOVE it! Vertical clutch column wheel NE88 (Seiko 8R48) movement, 28,800vph (4Hz, 8ticks/sec). I've been looking for a watch with this movement for a few months. The Seikos look good, but bigger than I'd like at 42mm, 49.5 lug-to-lug, 14.6 thick. The Lorier is 39mm, 46 lug-lug, 13.8mm thick, with 2.1mm of that being the dome/box crystal. The original white dial panda Olympia hasn't been available, but reverse-panda version just came out…
