What sort of occasion or environment does your friend mostly wear his watch for?
Do you intend it for weekend only?
Or any special activity?

Individual perception, Some like it heavy and some like it light. same goes to big / small. Yes, the entry luminox is feather weight.

Seiko monster rm600+? The orange one? After looking at the seiko monster orange, i feel an impulse buy coming up. Since it is at that price, the watch would be screaming to me to take it home. :Laughing_on_floor:

do u know if he's lacking a sports watch, dressy watch or casual etc etc?

would be nice to know.

also, if he's ok with hommage watches, i reckon if he's well built, tall and likes big watches, u can check out some panerai hommages. pretty awesome gift IMO
