The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread
-
@goosehd Thanks mate! Already on that one! Just glad there's one for people getting into, it's so nice that people can ask advice as there's a lot of pitfalls in watch collecting.

I also picked up the Mission to Mars Moonswatch but waiting on a better strap before posting that guy - hate the nato style strap it comes on so bulky and cheap looking.

@goosehd It's not OEM, that would be amazing! I'd get so many made lol. There's a whole community online of people who customize watches, normally Seiko's and Casio's. This one was done by a fella in Singapore who does this as a hobby, he's very talented. He's called David Tan Chee Yong and his handle is gshock_art on insta if you're curious...

@goosehd Dude it's a lot of fun! There's so many way to go. It's a rabbit hole. To get specific and overly detailed - I prefer a smaller watch, I have a 6 and 3/4 inch wrist and mostly wear 40mm and less watches. So I specifically wanted the ladies size casioak (which is still pretty large at 43mm) but feels better on my wrist. So I had to find a guy who could repaint both hands and indices as the female version has nasty silver or gold ones. This dude was the only person I could find that could do it. Like I said... Rabbit hole!

Here’s the Moonswatch I was talking about with the upgraded rubber strap… !

@Matt It's too bulky for my taste. Also the OEM white velcro will look nasty very quickly.

Thought you guys would dig this one

@Memphisakers ok ok!! I actually could use a watch roll. Maybe a box. Not quite sure. But I’ve got three watches and they just sort of hang out in my closet “unhoused.”

I LOVE Orient watches! They have been in the business for over 100 years. They make in house hacking/hand winding auto movements that are extremely accurate. Also have a lot of interchangeable parts with seiko such as crystals/hand sets for customizing.
