Collector Description
Just curious: would you go anywhere, do anything with any of my watches?
The first is a Casio Duro, rated to 200m water resistance. Screw-down crown. Steel case, mineral crystal lens. Casio 2784 Quartz movement.
The second is an Addiesdive MY-H6. Has a helium escape valve and is supposedly good down to 1000m. 316L steel, sapphire crystal lens. NH35 automatic.
The third is a Citizen Attesa CA0836-68E. 100m WR. Sapphire lens. B612 Eco-Drive movement.
I purchased the Duro as a cheap beater/expendable watch that I could wear if I ever felt the Attesa was too much. However, I found myself really loving this watch and opted to designate it as a semi-casual/date night/business casual watch. Even at $55, I found myself not wanting to beat this one up!
Enter the Addiesdive. I got it because it looked durable, had a sapphire lens, had killer C3 lume and was an inexpensive introduction to automatics. The 1000m WR and helium escape valve I do not put much stock in. This watch will never see anything beyond snorkeling/skin diving, so if it can handle that I am happy. I just wanted a cool diver that could handle getting beat up a little. I'll be testing the water resistance of this watch down to about 3 meters when I land in Miami next week. 😎
Now, for the Attesa. This was my first nice watch purchase. I wear it semi-casually, date nights and anywhere a nice watch is acceptable. Because it isn't a true dress watch with minimal WR, this sporty little gadget could probably go anywhere... would I? Unlikely.
Thanks for reading!
