Seiko Pullsse Odograph Watch Is Little Japanese Overlord Of Walking, On Your Wrist!
Why on Earth is this watch not officially sold in the US? I mean you can still get it online, but people need a watch like this to get them through the day, at least any walking parts. Frankly, I will all but forget how to stroll or pace without this watch.

I joined the club today...
This year its twenty years, since I live in Switzerland and I decided to celebrate this with a watch. I narrowed down my search to the few brands I like and finally decided to get a Rolex. The Explorers where long on my list but after some weeks ad different watch stores I bought myself a Submariner today and I��m very happy. This forum was quite useful in the last weeks, so thank you all.

If I buy a new submariner 114060 today from an official AD and sell it 4 years later..

Just a bit worried that I might regret after a few years and get tired of it hahaMy usage would probably be on fridays and weekends only
