@Matt Don’t worry, someone will come along and screw it up…

[Matt]

I’m sure.

[Matt]

If it’s you please don’t tell me.

[goosehd]

@Matt …never screw a friend

[Mizmazzle]

@Matt hope it works out for ya! May wanna hold off wearing it until post Super Bowl.

Polywatch

good stuff @Matt, tested it today on an old Citizen with a terrible scratch, almost not visible anymore afterwards

[endo]

but dumb as I am, there will be a new one soon I guess. should sell it now and get one with sapphire

[endo]

lurking about one of these

[pechelman]

@endo not sure what's available in your area but long ago I had a watchmaker replace a hardlex crystal with a sapphire one for 90$us. Depending on how much you like the watch it could be worth it. I may have gotten lucky since many people wanted this done on this particular watch so there was a couple of people who did this at the time.

I dig that black and blue citizen though.

[Matt]

Glad it worked out!

Smells like fish and keeps shit time but I’ll be damned if this isn’t my favorite…

[endo]

[steelworker]

Great thread! Before I read all 7000 posts I would like to share my little collection. Nothing fancy. I was once saving up for a Speedy but did not see the point in the end... Maybe one day.

The Hamilton has recently been sold and there are a couple of casios also...

Nodus arrived this week. Really impressed.
Ordered an orange camo band for it a month ago.
Band arrived first. Put it on my old daily for the last 20+ years.
Now I have combo options as both are 20mm lug to lug.

Seiko Willard for the win. I like that colorway, but would be dead if I buy another Willard anytime soon.

[FlavourFade]

@Cole yeah!! It is my favourite watch for sure. But the movement had to be replaced already. I was lucky that I still had warranty.

Went from Forerunner 965 to Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar, mostly because I needed the battery life for ultramarathons.
Thought it would be hard to go back to Mips screen after Amoled but actually feeling like I prefer this. It's big but comfortable on, and so far I'm enjoying it. Broke it in with a weekend of muddy back to back trail runs totalling 50k.

@Nik bloody hell, you could eat your dinner off that!
