Magrette Moana Pacific Chronograph Review
We were very excited a few months ago when Magrette announced the upcoming release of two chronographs built around Seagull ST1901 movements. We thought, wow, there's a brand that is willing to take a little risk to bring out an interesting and affordable watch. Mechanical chronographs are unfortunately all too rare in the sub $1,000 price range, largely because few brands other than ETA make movements that boutique brands can use. So, using a Chinese movement to reach an accessible price point is a great thing to do. On top of that, we already knew from Blake's review of the Regattare that Magrette makes quality watches with interesting looks. So, we got our hands on the Moana Pacific Chronograph, which goes for $545, wore it around for a bit, and here are our thoughts.Case: PVD SteelMovement: Seagull ST1901Dial: BlackLume: C3Lens: Domed Sapphire with AR coatingStrap: Brown LeatherWater Res.: 500mDimensions: 44mm x 52mmThickness: 15mmLug Width: 24mmCrown: 4 x 8mm screw downWeight: 110

What to add to my collection?
Hi there, Collection is a little over stated, but we all start with just a few I have:1. SUBc Date Black2. GMT BLNR3. SUB LVcAny suggestions what would be a good addition to these? I haven't looked into DJs. I've always liked the Explorer I and II though. The I is very classy and versatile, maybe too boring? And another black dial. The Ex II Polar seems cool but not sure if I like the 42mm case, looks kinda bloated. The previous model (40mm) also cool, even in black but I'm so used to the solidness and feel of the newer references, I'm afraid it would feel flimsy in comparison.Any advice is welcome and appreciated, thanks!

First Rolex and First Post!
I've been lurking this forum for SEVERAL years but never really participated in any discussions since I was young, broke and in college. I remember reading JJ's and everyone else's posts and admiring everyone's passion about these watches; it made me feel at ease that I wasn't the only one obsessed with something most people would consider a status symbol. This forum has been a valuable resource for me through out the years and the sense of community is something you rarely see elsewhere among internet strangers. Watches have always been the one thing that always stood out to me, and I'm sure most of you feel the same way, so I won't bother trying to explain it. I've been lusting for a Submariner for over 10 years. I love the simplicity, ruggedness and it's iconic design. Earlier this year, I received a huge promotion and moved into a new position in my company into IT. This was one of those life changing moves where I felt all my hard work paid off finally. I like to think I'm
