Chronographs are still haunting me. I love the look, but I don’t like how cluttered the dial gets. I like my Fossil chrono a lot, but my favorite is the very rich man watch, the Omega Speedmaster moon watch. Too bad it costs over $3000. I was looking at longislandwatch.com and saw this little beauty:

It’s still $299, but costs less than 1/10th the price of the Omega. It looks cool on leather, but I am sure a nice bracelet would be compliment it as well. The sub-dials are in a little different order, but I like the overall look. A quartz watch, but that’s ok. I expect it for all inexpensive chronographs. Oh well, just something to think about. For that kind of money, I could almost get my grail watch, the Seiko Alpinist.

I like the leather-banded one, but the price…ugh… đŸ™‚
I’ve never seen a Rolex in person and when we saw that one together last weekend, it looked so plain, boring, and like it should have been $300-500. It was $4400 on sale, used. Gimme a break, and it wasn’t pretty.
I’m glad Seiko’s exist and other moderately priced brands.
I really like the look as well, it is about the best homage I have seen so far. It is a shame it is over $300.
Rolex are very disappointing in real life. The bracelets are too light and the styling is old fashioned. You can pick up a Seiko 5 for less than $100 that looks almost the same and will probably last just as long.
