    @pechelman I agree, it’s a bummer they raise the case from the wrist rather than allowing for a close fit, but I’m kind of a rough boy, and the added reliability of being able to break a spring bar and have the watch not fall to its death is priceless to me.

    Edit: I do always remove the “keeper strap” to slim the profile. Just straight, pass-thru, one shotter.

      @WhiskeySandwich, with the Isofrane strap i mentioned, you can get the same level of redundancy to a spring bar breaking by connecting one strap to the other with a piece of spectra or dacron or whatever you want. Fwiw, I've never lost or broken a spring bar, but I do either upgrade them to more robust ones or have screwed on strap lugs. I stopped running my isofranes this way a while ago, but still have some tied up this way from when i was doing a lot of diving, mtn biking, skiing, etc and can get a picture for you later if interested.

                    The Garrard is being worn more than the Seiko SPB143 at the minute - taken me completely by surprise.
                    It’s not too big, it’s quite loud, and it’s got a nice bit of history to it.

                    … Oh, and the only way to adjust the date is to manually wind through… no separate way of adjusting date. Initially frustrating, but now a quirk that I have grown to accept.

                      I splurged on a turtle finally. I love the shape and fit of these, and even though they’re a hair on the larger side, they wear well below their measurements. Unfortunately this has to be exchanged due to the typical alignment issues and some weird brushing errors. Hopefully I can get a good example when it comes in.

                        Almost lost my damned mind at the Fells Point Festival over the weekend and bought that watch I’ve been eying. In front of Katie!!!

                              @Matt I think that's up for debate. And that is not a bad thing

                                    I picked up a vintage non working Chronosport UDT Sea Quartz. I mainly wanted it because it was the watch Stallone wore in the Rambo movies. There is a guy in Australia that fixes them so I’ve sent it off to him for repair. Hear is a non working photo.

                                        I’m pretty excited to get it back from repair. After re reading my post it sounds like its the actual watch he wore in the movies. This is just the same make and model he wore.

                                          Very new to watches. Been rocking a classic Timex field watch forever. Came across this citizen at a little local shop and 40% seemed like a nice introduction into this world. The emerald green really caught my eye.
