The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[Matt]

This thing is pretty rad. I dig the band so I’ll keep it. Very lightweight. It’s definitely more Swatch than Omega but that’s what I expected.

I'm a month late, but if @Kasi is still after watch suggestions, there's always the MoonSwatch.

Jupiter is on its way to me. I’ll post on Monday.

We're wrist twins! I've got the Jupiter also, as a gift from a friend.

Still trying to figure out which color NATO to go with. Have you done a strap swap on yours?

***Should have read through the rest of the thread.

I kinda dig the strap it comes with also, save the excessive writing/words. Fits perfectly with certain outfits or styles, but I'll definitely need a NATO for smoother and less "standing out" fashion days.

@UnTucked I'd be tempted to go for a grey and orange strap, like this one from Strapify.

Although looking at the Swatch website, the case is a bit more tan than grey, so maybe a desert sand strap might work best.

Or just go for orange...

[Matt]

I’ve got my eyes on Earth as well. That was my pick from day 1 but I figured the black and tan combo would be more versatile. And I was really feeling orange at the time. I like Pluto too…

[Matt]

Matchy matchy…

Nice combo @Matt, what pair of NB is that? Like them a lot

[Matt]

Those are UK made 1906s from the Surplus Pack. I don’t remember how old @Anesthetist

[Anesthetist]

Love those UK made NB, they last forever.

@Matt off topic, but what denim is that?!

[goosehd]

@UnTucked first glimpse it looks like 16 oz slubs.

@UnTucked …and may I say, I miss the OG’s!!!!

[Matt]

Correct. Planning on beating them up this summer. At least as much as I beat my jeans up. Which honestly isn’t much.

[UnTucked]

Geez Louise... I missed out on those jeans. Searching the store now, and my size/cut combo is nowhere to be seen. It looks GORGEOUS.

But back on the topic of less intimidating watches, I'm thinking to re-buy a brass Maranez Talay. I sold mine to @sabergirl several years ago, and I really miss it

[Matt]

That’s very cool. It makes me regret not taking the recent bronze IH Pinion watch auction more seriously.

@UnTucked the Pronto Slubs are just slub 888s with a few special details but essentially the same cut and fabric.

[Anesthetist]

Forgot I had this one! The Zane Lamprey for Debaufre Drinkmaster Professional

[goosehd]

@Anesthetist That is awesome and I hope it’s a rotating bezel…

[Matt]

Love that.

[Anesthetist]

@goosehd it does rotate, how else could you time your happy hour?
