Watches - another OCD problem

[Cole]

Don't get me started with (neo)vintage watches. Somewhere out there is an Omega Seamaster Peter Blake 2254.50 calling my name.

And the vintage Tudor Sub with snowflake hands is a thing of pure beauty.

Swapped out the black alligator OEM strap on my wife’s 11639 WG for this aftermarket strap from Epoch. Seems like pretty good quality. It’s a really dark navy blue, almost black, which looks great on the white gold.

It has quick-release spring bars, which is kind of nice and definitely saves a little time. Somehow, even with that, I managed to install both sides of the strap upside down the first time. ‍️ Kind of weird because the last time I changed it, I got it right.

Unfortunately, the first straps they sent were too short. This one just barely fits on the largest adjustment. I think there’s been a little bit of a language barrier or misunderstanding when it comes to the sizing, but at least this one works.

I love G Shock squares. Probably have to pass on this one, hefty price tag…

[Anesthetist]

@bwscott the non-sapphire cased model is also stunning. The price increase is quite a lot though.

[bwscott]

@Anesthetist Price increase indeed, $80,000! This is the budget option, I think it’s going for around £800.

[Anesthetist]

@bwscott maybe I misunderstood the press release but I believe there’s another MRG in $6000 range

[bwscott]

@Anesthetist
You’re right. This is the ‘mid range’ at 6k…!

Seiko MM300

Nice, very nice @1WayTrip

Is that the original rubber strap?

[1WayTrip]

@Bridger yep the one that comes with it. Prefer it to the bracelet.

[Bridger]

Ah, you have a newer model @1WayTrip. Looks different from my rubber strap.

I like both the rubber and the bracelet. When I got my first MM300 I wasn't sure about either, but after a little bit of time - I realised I should never have doubted the Seiko designers. I think they're perfect for the watch.
