Watches - another OCD problem

@chiverus said in Watches - another OCD problem:
@StarsSuck if you ever get the dream trip arranged I can send you a list of amazing watch shops
Hi @chiverus - I would love that list, if you don't mind. I will be in Japan in 5 weeks. I will be travelling around, but I have the most time to shop in Osaka.
-
Yes is a pain but the battery lasts years so not too bad.
I do have a easier to access Tuna also but doesn’t get much wrist time these days.
-
@chiverus I would be super keen to see that list, heading to Japan for the first time later this year.
-
@chiverus send me the list whenever you can. The trip is happening, probably not this summer, likely in the winter.
-
@Giles super helpful. Are you a Seiko fan as well?
-
Scratches and an irritating strap change system aside, it's a classic.
-
Dunno what the strap change regime is on that, but I have been putting off putting a new strap on my 50 Fathoms for weeks now, because it is just so fucking hard......
-
@Giles it's not so much the challenge here, but the limitations: they have a "proprietary" system which they sue to protect. Meaning few strap options and I like strap options! What's the deal with the 50 fathoms?
-
0.5mm allen screws through the lug into the strap bar. Seeing what you are doing is one thing, lining the fuckers up is another. And I like to Loctite the threads, so I get that everyfuckingwhere.....

@Go-For-Chill strap is not
-
@Giles sounds like good fun!
-
Love the Santos. Maybe I need to switch straps on mine so I’d wear it more. Right now I just have the black alligator it came with. If I change anything, I’d probably go with something a little more casual.
-
@northsouthdenimguy Delugs has some of those sporty straps with the correct lug mechanism. I dig the green one. Should make the watch more sport and less dress!
-
Thanks for the recommendation. I’ll check it out
-
@StarsSuck love delugs straps. Good quality and they dont cost an arm and a leg.
-
@Anesthetist indeed! They blew up so fast. You used to be able to email Ken and ask for shipping updates! Tried Handdn as well if you haven't already. Don't think they do Santos straps though
