The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

@goosehd Swatch stores are so fun!

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.

@WhiskeySandwich Suits you sir!

This is def my new #1.

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.

@WhiskeySandwich looks like a good fit for your wrist despite your previous comment about their size.
Loving mine a few months in, seems to go with everything!
As someone that hasn't worn a watch regularly for years, I'm finding myself having to resist buying more now I've become accustomed to having something on my wrist.
I'm finding this particularly alluring at the moment...

Cool watch! You can also try and find an old Certina DS-2 with a thick plexiglass. They were and still are such cool watches.
