          Seul, I've been eyeing up that SARB065 for a couple of years now, it's beautiful but I really think it needs the leather strap as its a dress style watch. I don't think the metal strap suits it or does it any justice whatsoever.

            You are completely right, but I can't wear a leather strap to work, and have been eyeing the damn thing for years as well… It's either buy that and the metal bracelet for it (170 $), or buy it ànd buy a new watch for work. The Monster I have is a brilliant watch, but I kinda grew tired of it already...

                  I can second that. Bought four from timefactors. Be warned though there can be a waiting list. Took me five weeks to get mine!

                      It's probably going to be the one I had made for you then?

                        A recent purchase, I'm now wearing this daily:

                        72 Tudor Sub

                        I really liked the design of the new Tudor Black Bay but ultimately opted for something older.  Although it looks comically large in this close up, I prefer the size of the smaller vintage pieces on my wrist.

                            Man, that looks enormous.  Given that it's from 1972, I'm guessing that it's much more reasonably sized, like 38mm?  Very nice, and excellent looking condition for its age.

                              Thanks guys.  Yeah, it's actually 40mm but looks ridiculously large in that pic because of the composition.  This gives you a more accurate feel for its size:

                                  Thanks mate.  Hoping to see some more photos of your BB when you get time.

                                        Perfect @Sugar Mountain  The deep blue with the snowflake hands are a great combination.  Plus it never ceases to amaze me when people wear wool in HK.  Nice work!

                                          Today the temperature has dropped to a chilly 19 degrees centigrade! Something about the humidity here makes that feel several degrees cooler than you'd expect.
