Nice to see another Bugatti Cyclops in the wild, also kudos to the pilot for being able to back the plane right up to the 11 cupola house.

I do as well, honestly they're my most complimented watches. Neither of them has a seiko face though...both custom dials, just seiko guts.

I get more compliments on my Seikos than I do my Rolex.

Are these seiko mods massive or similar size to the Rolex? I have embarrassing wrists, and my Sub and GMT are about as big as I can wear.

But these mods sound fun to have.

I'll put a Seiko mod side by side next to an SMP300 later

Hopefully that helps

My G-Shock Casio has been around the world twice and on several missions.

One of the best watches I own for the purposes of keeping track of time in austere environments.

This is the exact one I have.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a service shop near Plano/Frisco? I have an automatic that's quit winding.

Does anyone on the tine board pop over to the Dallas board for any of their threads? I've never visited that board but have noticed several Dallas folks migrate to some of the threads over here. Just curious, not trying to call anyone out.

Well this has clearly morphed into a global thread….i don't think it's been Houston specific in years

It's still probably 95% Houston.

Dallas person here. I grew up in Houston so still checked this board occasionally and found this topic years ago. This has become the definitive TexAgs watch thread and has been linked to multiple other boards when people bring up the topic.

For sure, and I'm not bagging on any out of towners, I've simply noticed it on at least a few threads.

Give it 10 years and Harris County will probably be up here trying to annex DFW.

This is 100% the watch thread people go to on TA. The fact that it's on the Houston board is unfortunate.

Wrong
Not Houston, but used to be. And, my daughter lives there, so I am there just about monthly.

Similar. I live in Round Rock but graduated high school and got married in Katy. Have a degree from UH and a big 'Stros fan.

I represent the H at the bottom of the map for life!

I've always liked this Gshock but never understood the three circles and never found a clear explanation (I haven't looked too hard to be fair). Are they useful or do they just take up real estate?

Same thoughts as you…

I was so bored on duty once, I counted the number of times the three circles would fill in completely over and over again for hours……it really be like that.

I lived in Australia and then moved to Houston. We must be opposite doppelgangers.

FYI.. Hodinkee, yes Hodinkee, has a decent watch sale going on currently. They have a couple of Maroon-ish dial Oris' for 30% off. They have a handful of other brands they are discounting pretty heavily as well.

in case anyone is in the market for an overpriced non automatic French gameday watch...honestly, I'd hop on it if it was automatic. I like some of Yema's stuff...just all a bit overpriced I feel. I've not seen one in person, but feels a bit more premium than it should be pricing wise.

I'd rather get a plastic maroon moonswatch

Looks exactly like that
