Lee's Watch Thread for MM'ers of Impeccable Taste

[WRXtranceformed]

That Casio is kinda a chameleon when wearing it in different light. I like wearing it when I'm out and about, even though I bought it for rougher use like camping. It wears smaller than it looks and I'm pretty sure they have women's sizes. I had to scrape around the internet for this color and found their website to be shit, so be sure to look around.



I've been on a bit of a spree the last two years, but I keep going back to this nighthawk. This is lame, but it legitimately makes me happy every time I look at it. Other watches are way more meaningful, but I think this is the best combo of looks and every day wearability.

I like to take pictures of watches at baseball games.

I love that you're enjoying it so much man!  That sapphire crystal really helps it pop   

I've been a little quiet on this thread but have slowly been building my IG empire so that maybe companies will start to send me stuff for free someday.  Up to over 680 followers in a few months of content...not bad!

In preparing for an upcoming mild mod project of a JDM Seiko that isn't for sale yet, I sold off my two tone mod project.  I've been diving into the world of vintage watches lately and really there are some stunning vintage Seikos that can be had for way less than their Swiss counterparts.  But these seem to be skyrocketing in value like the 6105 I bought.  I came across the vintage 6138 "Kakume" which means "Square Eyes".  You can see how it got its name.  I was smitten.  These were going for crazy prices on eBay and then I came across a JDM version from October 1973 on the watch forums, owned by a popular Instagrammer I follow.  Aside from being a collector quality rare early blue dial with yellow hands example, this one also came with the original inner box, outer box AND manual.  You just don't see this stuff...people rarely kept that stuff around back in the day unless it was an uber expensive watch.  And yes, that is the original bracelet! I wasn't planning on another watch purchase but this was too high quality and I knew I would never see one with box and papers in that condition again.  So I went back and forth with the seller and landed on a price that was healthy but that I thought was fair.  It's in the mail to me and I can't wait to get it on the wrist   

On to the pics!





I'm at the one-in-one-out point in my collection again so I put up my mod project "Perfect Samurai" for sale.  It is indeed probably one of the nicest Samurais in the world right now:

I'll post some wrist shots of the Kakume when it arrives in about a week
