Seiko & Citizen Watch Forum Message Archive

i owned a sub and it was a fine watch with a mediocre bracelet. i also owned an SMP and it was a fine watch with a very good bracelet.

the sub costs more than 3x more than the omega. i live in silicon valley and subs are everywhere, and are most commonly worn as badges of conspicuous consumption bu folks who know jack squat about watches.

i owned the SMP for 4 years and the sub for 8 months. i loved the SMP until the end and i was never quite happy with the sub. in fact, toward the end i was embarassed to wear the sub.

i prefer watches in the < $500 range, though i would probably pay $1k for a watch if something at the prices really moves me.

the sub is a fine watch and the best looking diver, imo but is a $1500 watch tops. great watch but too much baggage and too pricey for me.
