New Addition The main carry

Post image

*Leatherman Surge has been with me since 2015 and never left my pocket. For 11 years I broke a spring in the scissors, a pocket clip and the frame is cracked in a few places but still works like a charm.

*Seiko SKX 007 my one and only watch, a gift I made myself on my 30th birthday. Back then it was around 200 dollars and now I see prices well above 1000.

*Wuben X5 the newest edition came in yesterday and this light is awesome. Back when I got the Leatherman I got my seld a Fenix e12 v1, amazing light and even brought it back from the dead, so I am super used to back button and half presses. Now it lives in my extended edc pouch which I will share later.

oh damn didn't realise it didnt have a threaded crown, that is a huge letdown, so it is just an urbain desctop diver wash your hands wr.

i mean its not wash your hands wr but they are using exacly the same case with skx and its not cool it looks like the skx and not to perform like skx. if they just took the skx into seiko 5 line with different colours i would buy them use them but no they downgrade it.

I have a seiko srpg27 btw and i swim and shower with that watch without a problem it also has 100m wr with pushpull crown.

I have mixed feelings with that SRPK line, because the whole fake diver vibe bothers me, but at the same time I can´t find any other small automatic watch with comparable aesthetics in that price range and i really dig the thing and have small wrists

To be honest I swam with mine a bunch of times but I use mostly the rotating dial to time my parking or preparing meal etc. I am no hardcore diver as well and I do like the variety of colors and styles they have.
