Zeno Tonneau with Roman Numerals
Another eBay score. I have never owned a Tonneau watch before and I thought it is time to add one to my collection. I have own 1 or 2 Zeno watches and have been pleased with their quality. Definitely quality timepieces for their price range.
Seiko Flightmaster SND253
This is my new daily beater. Got this used off eBay at a reasonable $68 shipped, no box or papers. This watch invoke some mixed feelings for me, it looks better in photos than in real life. What I don't like about this watch is that the case is too small and the dial and bezel looks cramped into a small space. It has a 20mm lug size but the case thickness is 8 mm with the bezel. It is comfortable to wear but it looks a tad bit inadequate on the wrist. Seiko should make with a larger and thicker case. One thing that stands out though is the Seiko 7T92 movement on this watch - the chronograph function is smooth like butter. If you don't mind the smaller and thinner case, this is a quality watch to own.
