Imo it looks pretty sexy in pics, and pretty meh irl.
Ok so basically I don't really like the budget friendly seikos, and most of the stuff that I go hnnng for is over $2k. But I'm really digging this one and it's really cheap (under 150!).
Spoiler!
I don't dress up too often and this watch is both beautiful and sober enough to work with a polo shirt IMO, what do you think?

Got a new watch coming in from Amazon tomorrow. A cheap beater I've been looking forward to for some time now. Don't know why I haven't picked one up yet. I'm excite.

This watch was given to my dad somewhere 5 to 10 years ago and my dad does not wear watches at all, so it's been hanging in the closet for who knows how long. Warranty stamp shows that it was bought from Sincere Watches Singapore though. Can't find any details on the purchase date or model number.
Anyway, I have contacted AP to get some clarification.

took some wrist shots while my friend came to visit me from overseas.
also…i did an experiment and put my daytona on rubber. it wasnt expensive or tedious like putting the ROC on leather. so far im liking how it feels.
its light, comfortable (the rolex bracelet was already extremely comfortable), and durable. feels a bit sportier and more casual now.
im sure eventually i will get bored and put the AP back on a bracelet (or trade it for something else) and put the daytona back on bracelet (or trade it for something else). but right now im pretty happy with these 2 pieces and i dont see anything on the horizon that i absolutely feel like i HAVE to have.
But i would like a 26470 Navy….. or a 26170 Panda (H serial) if i can find it in Taiwan. Panda dials are hard to come by. I saw a F Serial last month but I passed on it cause I didnt trust the seller.
