The line-up
- 1
Doxa Sub 600T Caribbean
9/10 · Beyond thunderdome · Gethin's ownMy 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.

Doxa Sub 1500T Searambler
9/10 · Beyond thunderdome · Gethin's ownThe 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
Seiko SLA023 Marinemaster 300
9/10 · Beyond thunderdome · Gethin's ownMy 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
Doxa Sub 300T Professional
8/10 · For the beeeech · Gethin's ownSomething 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
Doxa Sub 200 Sharkhunter
8/10 · For the beeeech · Gethin's ownBought 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.

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
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.
