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.

Post by: G.MAC on May 21, 2010, 09:00:44 AM: 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:

Post by: dsiewmy on May 23, 2010, 03:36:26 PM: 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
