Hey, does anyone know the exact model of this fine specimen?

Thanks in advance

That would be the Seiko Blue Spark. Discontinued now.

And new strap for game day.

This was just delivered to me this morning. A brand called Rodina, a Nomos homage. I really wanted a Stowa Antea 390 but $800 isn't a poor man's watch for me I got it from Taobao using a Taobao agent (first time). I'm very happy with it. I got it for $130 (watch was $90, Taobao agent fee $10, shipping $30). It's a self-winding mechanical, and the movement is Seagull ST17.

Do you have a closer picture of the watch. It looks really cool. Might want to get myself one.

Haha...just click on it. Looks a lot like a Nomos Tangente.

Don't think that's a coincidence.

Does anyone know where I can get an 18mm leather NATO strap?

http://www.crownandbuckle.com/straps-by-size/18mm-straps/leather-nato-18mm-rouille.html

I bought a 22mm one and I'm pretty sure I posted pics of it a couple months back. Will have to dig up...

Here it is. Crown&Buckle leather nato, 22mm, dark brown (not the color I linked). Looks like they are pretty low on 18mm Nato selection. But then again just google 18mm leather nato and check out the options. There are leather natos from like $15 all the way up to like $300, hand made out of crazy special leathers and ****.

fellas, any idea of a cool modern looking pocketwatch? i saw one at the straccessories thread but it is quartz. the idea of a minimalist, bauhaus, stowa-esque pocket watch is intriguing enough that im pretty sure there should be some out there...

^ When surfing ebay I found this one interesting. I'm not buying right now, though. It's not my watch and I have no knowledge of its quality.

It's (re-)listed for the 3rd time at least, so the seller may be open for an offer.

This came today, dappered recommendation. Just love the blue hands!

What model is this?

What did that cost you? Was the strap separate?

I find the strap a bit too red for my tastes. I would go with a med or dark brown.

Anyone know if Seagull watches are sold by any retailers in the US? I think they look pretty awesome, and I'd like to see one in person.
