      Here's my Bell and Ross BR123 Heritage which I've been wearing for the last few years, I just got it back from repair this week.  I've been wearing it with a Form Function Form green shell cordovan strap, I think it goes well with my green 46 (thanks again madmonday).

        combination looks ace to me Clint.. Liking the simple dial of that BR..

        Here's my daily wear. Before, I do not fancy small diameter watches due to my wrist circumference hence my attention to PAM. But slowly inclined to medium size watches.

          Thanks Friday! I feel like I could comfortably wear up to around a ~45 mm face watch.  My B&R is 41 mm and it seems just a bit smaller than I would prefer.

              That GS is unreal has me reconsidering the Dateless Submariner I have been pondering over for 8 months.

                    Dude, go for the gs. Everything I've read says that gs are unbeatable for the price and that they're for people who want to impress themselves, not others.

                    Anesthetist and Friday, those two watches are probably my favorites out of the GS catalogue, good work again!

                        That is a very nice watch but hard to compare with a dateless sub. Two very different pieces, each with their own merits IMO.

                        I'm still pining for a Tudor Black Bay. Hoping to pick one up in the autumn or early 2015.

                            I'd take a GS Snowflake over a Submariner any day.

                            And that Daytona is beautiful, BK.

                                Enjoying all these Grand Seikos, but the redundant branding is off-putting (SEIKO and then GS and then Grand Seiko). The dial would be much more attractive if they ditched the GS and retained Grand Seiko and placed it in lieu of the SEIKO branding. Not sure about that gothic font either, but I suppose that ship has already sailed from a branding perspective.

                                Think it, be it.

                                  ^^^^ What you're seeing is Japanese for sure. Overstated, understated, reserved, in place, but a little redundant. It's everywhere over there, it's part of the culture's charm. It's true to the place it comes from as much as anything else.

                                    Unrelated I bit the bullet last week and purchased some Maratac Zulu's. Holy sh!t they were worth the premium.

                                        Maratacs are a great choice of strap. Have a few with the matte black hardware and they are pretty solid! Interested if anyone has any experience of the maratac flight watch?
