    Looks great tbh. IMO larger watches are more forgiving when they have a decently sized bezel and pillow case shape

    • MS Paint on 22/03/2024 - 11:38

      pillow case

      Cushion case?

    @Jimothy Wongingtons - if you are a man of honour you will buy this

    Will I need a watch like this when I go to the moon?

      Only for the Dark Side of the Moon.

        Someone should make an record album about that. I reckon it might do ok.

        • alidli on 24/03/2024 - 19:11

      I was worried about the same thing until I bought one with the black dial. Because of the shape of the lugs and relatively short distance between them it looks and feels much smaller on the wrist. If you prefer this colourway then you might want to spring for it now, I have a feeling this model is now on clearance so it may not last too long.

  • Fuzor on 22/03/2024 - 11:43

    What is snoopy about this watch? Cannot see snoopy on dial

    • Mike Nolan on 22/03/2024 - 11:45

      It's a nod to the Omega Speedmaster watches that have been made in celebration of the Silver Snoopy Award from NASA, which they gave to Omega as a supplier of chronographs for the Apollo program.

      • inamberclad on 22/03/2024 - 13:02

        hmm they actually look quite different, not quite the homage i was expecting :/ (mini snoopy is still beautiful though)

        • Fitzwah on 22/03/2024 - 15:02

          The colour is the only part of the homage. Lunar pilots were around at the same time during the Apollo program.
          One went to the moon.

    Looks nice. Wish the second hand movement was a bit smoother. automatic would be nice but quartz is understandable at this price point.

    why couldnt he hear me for $499 SSC813 T____T

    • Powershopz on 22/03/2024 - 14:09

      $499 SSC813 - That would be an instant buy for me.

      • Jimothy Wongingtons on 22/03/2024 - 14:21

        would be an instant buy for all the watch homies on here i'd say
        the only time it came close iirc is that sheils gc glitch deal (Which was cancelled)

  • HunterBargainHunter on 22/03/2024 - 14:32

    Since I’m uninitiated in the world of watches, what is the Bulova equivalent in the car industry?
    E.g Rolex = Bentley
    Casio = Toyota?
    Seiko and Citizen 🤔

    • champsk on 22/03/2024 - 14:44

      Bulova is American so it can be Tesla

      • beltdrive on 22/03/2024 - 15:50

        Apple is obviously Telsa

        Bulova is American, has heritage, has some good models, but plenty of crap ones, so… Bulova is Chevorlet, I guess?

        • Chazzozz on 22/03/2024 - 16:51
          +1

          I'd say Bulova is more like Oldsmobile. Chevrolet can be a little pedestrian in their design with a solid build underneath. Oldsmobile is a little more premium even if it's the same chassis. Think of it as being like the difference between a bog-standard Falcon and a Fairlaine.

    • JimB on 22/03/2024 - 14:46

      Old Bentley's aren't desirable so used values drop like a brick

      Rolex = Porsche
      Casio = Suzuki
      Seiko and Citizen = Toyota

      Bulova = maybe Skoda. Interesting, a bit quirky and good value for money.

          you want a Seagull Watch then.

            @JimB: no i want a byd

      • beltdrive on 22/03/2024 - 15:56

        Orient = Mazda?

        Seiko is a bit overpriced these days, so I feel like they're more Honda than Toyota

        Grand Seiko and The Citizen = Lexus

        • JimB on 22/03/2024 - 16:03

          Have you seen the price of new Toyota CHR- https://www.toyota.com.au/news/all-new-c-hr-suv-arrives-in-q…

          $54,990 + on road costs for a compact SUV.

          Honda charges much less for their HRV.

          Toyota are taking the piss these days but their customers are lapping it up… can't blame Toyota for it.

          • beltdrive on 22/03/2024 - 17:08

            @JimB: True, Toyotas are expensive here because people are gonna buy them anyway

            Hondas are expensive because… Honda think people are gonna buy them?

        What's BMW/Merc?

        • JimB on 22/03/2024 - 22:11

          Omega.

          They have their die hard fans (who put down Porsche at any changes). Keep putting their prices up, have too many models and variances, including entry level quartz, many minor changes to their line up that I can’t keep track of. Fairly poor resale.

          Trying to catch up to Porsche. Porsche has the demand and therefore resale, many future classics.

          At least, unlike BMW/Merc omegas are reliable.

      • Manny Calavera on 23/03/2024 - 21:28

        Interesting.

          hmmm Jaguar.

          Great history. Their Reverso is their Jag E Type.

          Expensive to buy. Beautiful watches. Under the radar so IYKYK.

          If you're willing to buy them new, you probably don't care about resale.

    • Tuttorix on 22/03/2024 - 15:56

      Seiko is Toyota.
      Grand Seiko is Lexus.
      Casio is more like a Mazda.
      Citizen probably Nissan.

      • beltdrive on 22/03/2024 - 15:58
        +3

        Mazda wishes it was Casio tbh

        Suzuki is appropriate for Casio IMO because the Swift is the cheapest Japanese car in Australia and is also very good, just like the F91W

        The Jimny is a G-Shock

        • JimB on 22/03/2024 - 16:05

          Yup.

          Suzuki is cheap and cheerful. And super reliable. Just like Casio. #1 choice for terrorist. No point spending more money than you need to, if you're only going to blow yourself up.

          • beltdrive on 22/03/2024 - 17:07

      Depends on the style. Do you want to get a dress watch? A diver? a 'GADA' (go anywhere, do anything) all-rounder type watch? With an upper limit of $2k you can do a lot.

      • sal78 on 24/03/2024 - 21:39

        GADA sounds good

        • HeyThereJim on 28/03/2024 - 22:49

          Does the person like watches? Would it mean more to them if you bought a 'brand' name watch or would they appreciate a smaller brand with less brand recognition but still a well made watch? If they're a watch person then there's so many options.

    • alidli on 24/03/2024 - 19:31

      …….increase to $5k

      Can't go wrong with anything in real gold, it will hold it's value more.
