The line-up

  1. 1

    Doxa Sub 600T Caribbean

    9/10 · Beyond thunderdome · Gethin's own

    My favourite at the moment: not a very popular watch, but I absolutely love it, with that flashy bracelet and an old-school clasp that's a bit of a disgrace but faithful.

  2. 2

    Doxa Sub 1500T Searambler

    9/10 · Beyond thunderdome · Gethin's own

    The behemoth of the bunch, 45mm and extremely thick, with a misaligned bezel that's highly disappointing at this price, but that ETA 2892 just glides.

  3. 3

    Seiko SLA023 Marinemaster 300

    9/10 · Beyond thunderdome · Gethin's own

    My first great watch: probably my favourite bezel action, a staggering Zaratsu case and my favourite handset on any watch; it's thick and top-heavy, but it's not too big for anyone.

  4. 4

    Doxa Sub 300T Professional

    8/10 · For the beeeech · Gethin's own

    Something out of left field: beads of rice, loose clicky bezel that at least lines up, the real sailboat logo, and there's nothing wrong with it.

  5. 5

    Doxa Sub 200 Sharkhunter

    8/10 · For the beeeech · Gethin's own

    Bought to complete the Doxa set for GBP 536 on a cheeky offer: the nicest bezel and the most accurate in the collection, but that handset lets it down.

  6. 6

    Orient Multi Year Calendar FEU0A003BH

    8/10 · For the beeeech · Gethin's own (gift from Mr Jun and 3K Barber)

    An ingenious calendar contraption, engraved, a gift from Mr Jun and 3K Barber, and I will die with this watch.

  7. 7

    Seiko 4R35 dress watch

    6/10 · It wants to be good · Gethin's own (gift from Miss Sari)

    A gift from Miss Sari: the dial is stunning and the 4R35 through the case back is beautiful, but I only wear it to funerals and weddings, and the seconds hand has tarnished in the box.
