Thread: What types of watches do you like?

My old Zodiak, also from my dad, is working still, but the strap clasp locking clip broke and the crystal is pretty scratched up from being on a mechanics wrist for over 20 years.
I will probably have this watch forever..
My daily driver however needed an upgrade. Thanks to some tips from you gents I went to a few sites and did some research on various new and older mechanical and automatic watches.
Some very strong tool watches being made in Germany right now, and I almost pulled the trigger on one before seeing the below watch from Seiko.

A no longer in production automatic with a 50+ year production run called the Alpinist. Seiko is a name that, to me, just slips under the radar, but they really have made some amazing timepieces..
Only produced for the Japanese domestic market, with all the features I would ever need in a watch, plus an absolutely beautiful dial face that ultimately was the reason I bought it.
A mid tier performer with a touch of refinement that will work in the office, boardroom, or back roads.
Got mine as an open box return at an acceptable price. But still the most expensive watch I have ever bought myself.
A personal indulgence that shouldn’t scream indulgence with a name like Seiko.
Happy father day men.
