Watches - another OCD problem

[Chris]

I prefer the bronze, myself.

They're both great, and it's awesome you decided to buy something unique, while also supporting those who support you. It's pretty cool to own #25 of an up-and-coming brand, too.

For what it's worth, I vote bronze, as well. It just screams IH. It might not be the most formal choice, but really how often do you have to dress formally?

Nice, G.  Aren't Pinon something to do with a guy (Piers?) who was pretty tight with the Bremont guys?  Maybe even had something to do with their unofficial forum, Alt1tude?

Regardless, they look like solid watches - even if I'd struggle to pay list for one…

Bear in mind that bronze discolours a LOT as it oxidises.  I owned a bronze Anonimo for a while that just got darker and darker.  Granted, you can polish them back up again but that's not what everyone wants from a watch.

Fwiw, steel with the leather zulu-style strap would be my choice - and is more IH to my eyes!

Yeah bronze sounds like a good idea now but not for down the road

Ordered a no 8 shell strap for my vintage 1956 Omega Seamaster – should get the old girl back into a higher spot in the watch rotation

Now, now….

Freshened up my Riki today with a new G10 band.  Not high end as per the theme of the thread, but I like it

I like how the rings match the finish of the body almost perfectly too.

Looks nice bro

Must get my Riki mended - one of the hour markers has come adrift and interferes with the minute hand….

[madmonday]

Nice Riki,  simple is always good

^ I'm slowly but surely coming around to that philosophy MM.

So I just came across this awesome thread and since there were some other Seiko 5's here I thought I would share mine, it's an SNZG15J1 (Made in Japan version) on a Maratac Zulu band.

and being worn.

I love this thing and will probably wear it exclusively until I can afford a Submariner one day…
