Collector Description
Tissot PRX quartz 35mm (Green dial) : I know people are a little sick of seeing the PRX here. I got it as a gift. Nice watch, I really like the dial color, it gets a lot of wrist time. My only concerns with this watch are the lack of micro adjustment and the fact that the bracelet scratches easily.
Citizen Tsuyosa (Yellow dial) : the design is not for everyone with the cyclop and the weird choice of bracelet for an integrated watch , but I really like it and the quality is really good for the price (I paid 250€).
Seiko Presage shap edgeg : this is by far my most worn watch. Very good looking, confortable, decent power reserve. Its also incredibly resistant to scratches and I am not particularly careful. The only thing that could be better is the dial color which is a little to dark. I got it for 650€ which is the steal for this level of quality in my opinion.
Henry Archer Akva (underwater green dial and black dlc case&bracelet) : this is my latest watch, first diver and first micro brand. Great specs and quality for the price (500€). I love how thin its is, very confortable. The only default is the very stiff bezel rotation. We will see how the dlc coating holds up in time, its supposed to be very résistant.
Seiko Presage SPB113J1 (white dial): this is my dress watch, I like the very clean design. The enamel dial looks really good in person. My concerns with this watch is the size, the diameter should be a little smaller (like 38mm vs 40mm) and it most importantly it should be thinner.
