Contrast on tough

 
 By: jml_watches : September 4th, 2020-06:57
Hi A pair of contrasting watches on the theme of tough. Firstly my Seiko diver - what most people would consider a tough watch. The left field choice Yes a Futurematic - probably thought of this as still enjoying it on return from spa. Not what most would...  

Seiko Tough - traditional tough, go through anything..

 
 By: K-Lo : September 4th, 2020-07:05
JLC tough - strong movement maker, can last a lifetime, the Maison can service any movement they made!!! Tough watches!!!

I consent to your view

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : September 4th, 2020-10:59
There is a lot going on in that movement but I would also say it is a robust one.

Seiko is always a good choice for a tough day ...

 
 By: Cpt Scarlet : September 5th, 2020-08:13
Good shots πŸ‘

You’ve definitely got a point, JML πŸ‘πŸ»

And two great choices 😊

Two tough watches.

Tough as they come: and this one: They look even tougher in black and white. Regards Kev. ...  

Ahh!!! The Crown.... how can you get more robust than that??

Thanks Abel. You’re right - both great watches...

Oh my, that is not an IWC you see every day,

never fail to surprise me with their toughness and character. This old boy spent a couple of decades going up and down the Karakoram, the Pamirs, the Himalaya and the Hindu Kush and never even asked for a service. And I really enjoyed its company then and... 

I've been meaning to

While I am in no doubt that is one tough watch, it is just so damn nice that I would not want to be tough on it, and that damn articulated rubber bracelet! Damn lovely, and tough. Tough Watches!!!!

I’m telling you,the rubber bracelet is a marvel,

Re Rolex - 52 years!! Wow wow wow, some people on this forum are not even that age, a true testament to a tough watch. Rado # 1 - I know of them for their ceramics, when you say β€œscratch proof,” my guess is that this watch is ceramic. Glad to see one not ... 

Thanks. The Rado’s are Tungsten Carbide hardmetal.

 
 By: HighEndOne : September 4th, 2020-17:42
The Air King is from another world.

Huh, must be Rados before the ceramic ones,

Rado is actually a pretty natural choice...

Wow - a Garmin!

 
 By: K-Lo : September 4th, 2020-15:46
I remember having them as a navigation device. However, to go with you to many continents, bodies of waters, and even competitions, among other things? If that doesn’t define β€œtough,” well, then, maybe I don’t speaka de English Tough Watches!!!!

It’s certainly tough πŸ€”..

Hard knocks against scuba tanks, fins etc. This watch has seen a lot of action in the reefs around Sydney. ...  

This lovely Tudor!!

I know it is a tough watch and all, but it is, damn - too good looking!!! Rolex reliability and robustness without the negative notoriety. And it can handle a β€œreef” or two? Splendid Sire! Tough Watches!!!!!

Thanks Ted

Your mokaran is the real beauty of the dive watches. I like it.

Appreciate that Sire..

Not sure if ceramic can handle a β€œbang” against the reef though, πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰.

I think it can

 
 By: Cookies : September 5th, 2020-07:17
Just as long as no side knock against the scuba tanks and gotta be careful when diving in big groups cuz some divers just like to crowd and throw their gear around. I compliment the mokaran with my heart. Have a great week Ted.

thanks a lot

I wished it had a 300m WR and were thinner. This has strengthened my resolve to get another diver when things get better.

Thx likewise for your sharing your affection.. Wishing you the Best, for another diver to complete the line-up ! :))

Actually I got into diving because I read about the Submariner and was seduced by the allure of James Bond diving with it. Now, the submariner is no longer as toolish as it once was, becoming more blingy with the ceramic bezel and the beefed up case. The ... 

Hello Cookies! My pleasure! Interesting to know you were inspired by the Submariner and Bond to enter into the world of Scuba diving...

... and agree with you about your thoughts about its present ceramic rendition as a divers instrument. Computers have replaced them as much practical and complete instruments and the use of ceramic and bigger cases make them more suitable for desk divers ... 

Tough Tudor ...

Love that blue version πŸ‘Œ

Thanks Captain

It is really tough indeed. I fell in love with this blue version since it was released, but missed the opportunity to get the thinner ETA version.

Thanks KMII

The one with the leather strap that goes in the water and everywhere else, that thing is awesome!! Tough and durable!! That carbon one looks like it’s made of race car parts, going at high speeds, has to be tough, even at high speeds! Tough Watches!!!!

How about a watch that withstood an alien...

that bleeds acid and has two sets of jaws! (Images from Aliens caught by the website the Nerdist). My version of the watch, the SCED041, is not the same dial colors as the original, but still just as tough. Quartz movement, 100m of water resistance; this ...  

Ha!!! Another outer space one!!

You brought high-end tough watches, that’s gutsy, πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‰. Well RMs are seen worn on athletes during β€œplay” , constantly, and can stand up to that no problem. Now the Patek, I remember reading about this one, super over engineered.... I love that. May be high ... 

Oh, my pleasure Sire,
