I used to wear watches on my right wrist but had to change to the left as using a mouse all day is awful with a decent watch on. Guess it’ll take a while to get used to it.

Edit: I just noticed that by complete chance I took the image when the seconds were at 0. I did not plan that.

I love seiko watches. I dream of a grand seiko spring drive.

Those look great, but holy is the price a lot more.

Seiko in general has gone up in price a lot in recent years. The cheap and cheerful Seiko 5 were killed and resurrected as a mid-range sub-brand, and mid-range (like Presage etc) are now pushed twice the price they were a few years ago. There are no entry-level mechanical Seikos anymore.

Orient seems to be the last true Japanese manufacturer that still offers sub-$150 mechanical watches.

Thanks for mentioning Orient. Never heard of them but they have some beautiful watches.

You're welcome :) I love Orient and own a couple, and they also have some stunning pieces in their mid-to-high end Orient Star range.
