    Nice work!

    Is there a favourite among them (apologies if I missed it) and what does the button do?

    I'm now £103 lighter and soon to be a orange dialed Mako heavier, one of those watches I've known about for years but never tried.

    Nice collection.

    SKX vs Mako? I've had both 4 times each and would say that the Mako is more refined.

    The Mako in my experience has a more accurate movement out the box, better crown feedback, better alignment of hands, nicer dial finish, dresses up better. Seems that the only risk is that the bezel may be tight.

    The SKX in my experience has much better lume, looks better over all and is a classic design, will look better when beat up a bit, certified diver's watch. But out of the 4 I've had the alignment has been off on the hands and chapter ring.

    Well done. I'll take the blue or the pepsi when you decide to flip.

    Have to say (and I'm amazed nobody else has) the W&W photo drives me crazy. The lined background with the watches out of alignment with it and all the bracelets folded slightly differently. Arghhh!
