Any watch lovers here????

Well, in visiting Mega Donki in Shabuya, I saw some Seiko’s I liked. I started with the Seiko 5 GMT auto in Green, almost went with a maroon Prospex sub, but settled on the Batman-ish SBSC017 GMT auto. I figured the watch would go well at work but not be in your face like my coworker rocking a Hublot.

I am on the cusp of pre-ordering a Sinn U15 as a work watch, I just have not been able to pull the trigger yet lol.
 
On a pilot forum there is a guy near ATL with a Speedmaster Pro 2572.50, full boxes, papers, links, asking $3750. It ahs some normal wear for a ~25yo watch and a chipped Hesalite crystal. But seems decent. I think its a little much, but I'm cheap. If anyone is interested I can PM link and pics.
 
I've been looking around to see what was interesting and maybe a Tag F1 or an older IWC aquatimer.

but. . . I need a new iphoner and I want a new Nikkor 200-500mm lens.
 
Some stupid sales on Breitlings going on and I'm trying to decide if I'm enough of a sorta sleazy chucklehead to pull one off. :D

I equate Breitling to aviation watches and if you’re in aviation, I think it’s a solid choice. At least that’s my brand perception.

On my flight back to the US I sat next to a pilot dead heading or on reserve and he was rocking a gold Rolex sub and I chuckled in my mind that if anyone should have a GMT or pilot watch, it would be a pilot running international routes. However his watch definitely had wear and tear as an everyday tool watch so a sub makes sense.

Some of the Grand Seikos I saw looked awesome, but in the $10k range, just not sure I would go GS vs a Tudor GMT. I also saw a mid-tier King Seiko line which I had not seen before.
