I like slightly oversized watches. Probably why I like diving watches. The reason I'm mostly an Omega guy and not a Rolex guy is the face size. Omegas are generally just a little bigger. A couple millimeters makes all the difference for me.
Got a tip for us?

Great watch.Wear it i good health.
Man, I'm really getting interested again in Seiko! I'm mostly an Omega guy with a fascination in a couple Rolex models, but Seiko was my first horologic love. I've been checking out Watch Recon to get an idea of my options. So far I'm interested in the SKX 007, the Stargate, and a couple of the PADI models. The Marine Master is really sweet but the prices are just a bit prohibitive. The Prospex line looks like it might be my first Seiko purchase. I really love the largish faces. The Rolex 40mm faces are just a tad small for my taste. I'm not interested in vintage/collectable watches. I'm more of an accumulator vs. a collector.

Beautiful timepiece, I am currently looking into these. How much was this one if you don't mind me asking?My wife surprised me with this for Christmas. Been wanting this Panerai for a while.
So much for Rolex watches having small faces. They're actually ideal at 40mm. I have coveted one particular Rolex since 1980 when Tom Selleck wore it on Magnum PI - the GMT Master II in the "Pepsi" color scheme. That's the red/blue bezel. I traded a Rolex diver watch, the Deepsea Sea Dweller a couple days ago and got this.
met up with some friends around the country from a car forum I frequent. there were some nice watches in the group. didn't get a chance to snap them all, but here are a few.

Got my Steinhart Ocean One today.
Bigger overall, compared to my Seiko SKX007, but a much higher quality diver.

I've had mine for a couple years now - love it. And with the strong dollar, they are even cheaper!

I the Langes have me drooling.
They have to be among my favorite of current makers.
Cost varies for them. They are no longer made, as this was a special addition limited to 1938 pieces. You can find like new used pieces though.
definitely one of my favorites too. just found this pic. this FP Journe was gorgeous.
Picked up a seiko 5 for my collection. I wasn't thrilled with the bracelet it came with so I opted for a black leather band with white stitching. I can't stop staring at it!
