Just wanted to provide an update on the repairs to my IHSH-102-MC. It took a little bit to get the patch I ordered from ETSY( came from the UK). And I kind of forgot about it. Eventually I got around to dropping it off at a local tailor and below are the results. The color isn't an exact match, but it's pretty close. I'm happy with the results.

Recently picked up this SMP300 second hand for a very good price. These are probably the best bang for your buck out there in my opinion. If you're patient you can find them in awesome condition for a lot less then retail. It's keeping great time so far and overall feels like a tank. My next watch will eventually be a submariner but I refuse to play the AD game. Compared to a friends sub, the sub bracelet feels more comfortable, has better micro adjustments and feels slightly more premium, but the omega keeps better time and gives off more of a " tool watch" vibe, which I'm into.

It wears a lot smaller then the measurements would hint at. Compared to my Tudor black bay 41, it feels smaller, I actually really like the " out-dated " bracelet. It came with the blue rubber strap incase I want to switch.

Kind of hard to capture the color accurately on my iPhone 14 but this is after a hot soak I gave it last night, the first time I've washed or soaked it since I got it. This is from the previous run, so I've had it a couple years now, but haven't worn it too much. I've been wearing it a lot more often and it's starting to come alive.

Been wearing this a lot as I do work in my unfinished basement attempting to build a play area for my kids and a gym. Re doing some lighting and other things to make it nicer. The combs on my elbows are pretty great right now. Hard to tell with lighting but there is some fading. Great shirt.

Apologize for the shit pictures. Not good at this. Pretty happy with the fit. Definitely a bit slim when fully button but I expect it to break in and loosen up slightly. My other cpo's are all XXL but in the western cut. This will be perfect being worn more as a shirt, as opposed to a light jacket.

@meatmarketdenim1 I did size down. I didn't like the lentgh on the XXL so I went with a XL. I'm usually either an XL or XXL in these things depending on measurements. Usually my cpo's I wear as a light jacket with something under , like a UHF, but this one will be worn more as a shirt. It still sticks out a little in the back but nothing crazy.

I know the duck has no stretch. I have the 888 duck pants as well as the type 3. But things tend to relax for me once I wear them a bit. Maybe it's real, maybe it's not, but I do notice it. I will stick with this. The XXL would be too long for my liking. I'm also about 5-10 lbs heavier then I normally am. Winter weight.

I also do think my pose has a lot to do with the chest and armpit appearance.

Scooped up what may be the last XL. Like everyone else I was pretty much between sizes (an XL and XXL.) I used the comparison tool with a few pieces and still couldn't figure out so eventually I just decided on XL. Hoping it works out
