The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[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.

[goosehd]

@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?

[Anesthetist]

@Matt thanks Matt!

Did a fun project in 2017 of a Seiko SNKK45 to Gerald Genta inspired piece

I’m an unabashed watch nerd. It’s not what you spend on a watch, but rather, what you enjoy about any specific reference.

I started here … with the SKX009j

Ended (for now) here with the 321.

Lots of others in between.

[Matt]

Anyone see these?

[Anesthetist]

Love that Omega @Brandrea post it on the bigger watch thread too!
@Matt as a certified Swatchoholic I like em, esp the turquoise model.
Reminds me to take a Swatch family pic. I keep em locked up because they are feckin’ LOUD.

[Matt]

Oh hell yeah @Anesthetist I def want to see those. I have my first from 86 or 87. I put a new band on it because the old one deteriorated. This was before I realized it would not be serviceable. Honestly, considering how often I actually use a watch to tell time over looking at my phone, I could just wear it as a bracelet.
