      Your wonderfully faded sleeve cuff is distracting @Graeme  😃 😃

      The journey is the objective.

        @motojobobo I stole the photo off Worn & Wound. It's not my cuff! 😉

          Die to some late night drinking and eBay browsing, I now have a new watch. It's a pretty faithful remake of a model from 1970-71 that I've liked for years, however, the originals tend to be in poor condition and far more than I'm willing to pay.  I've already ordered a replacement NATO, as this silicone strap is cool looking, but not especially comfortable.

              Nice!

              And the world clearly needs more indigo flannels.

              Think it, be it.

                Is that the one that’s referred to as the surfboard?

                I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                    Yep, that's the one.

                    The originals (there were a couple of regular three handers in addition to the surfboard chrono) were rated to a depth of 666 feet, so they were also called Devil Divers.  I think Bulova missed out by not doing the same with the reissue and putting the 666 on the dial.

                              Not too bad of a price point…. i think. Not positive of course since i can’t read the description.

                                  Cool thanks. Any chance you have first hand experience?
                                  I think the worn and wound review suggests niceto look at but funtionally perhaps a little over priced.

                                    Here’s my SBDC063 with blue bezel mated to a pigeon tree whiskey shell cordovan strap. It’s a lovely timepiece that I’ve worn almost daily since it arrived. The blue bezel is not done justice here, but looks swell tucked under an indigo shirt.

                                      My new 40mm Hamilton field Khaki arrived today. Got 20% off RRP from an authorised online dealer. Colour and placement of the date window aren't for everyone. I'm swapping the strap out for a Tanner Goods pass through strap, ordered today at another super discount.

                                        Date window is where it should be IMO…...

                                          @Giles if you look closely, the date window slightly pushes the 3 numeral out of line with the rest of the numerals. Some watches completely remove the numeral altogether, some align it.

                                          Lots of reviewers aren't a fan of the placement, it doesn't worry me too much as there are more positives to negatives to this watch imo.

                                            Here the date window where it not should be, but I am very very pleased with that stunning watch:

                                            Seiko sbex003
                                            Dramatically over dimensioned but unexpected comfortable



                                            Runs +5sec per day but completely independent of position…
