Nothing Poor about that.

I’ve worn my Nomos Orion every day since I got it last year and I have absolutely loved it. I decided I wanted something that was still nice for work but maybe a little less incongruous with jeans and a T-shirt.

Opted for this, the Stowa Partitio.

I think it’s a very nice watch.

Ps, blimey, I’m hairy.

Your picture of the Stowa looks much better than any on their site. Good looking watch!

Nice watch - I was not previously aware of this model.

Thank you. The Stowa website design really does them no favours. They could do with better pictures, videos even, and a better method of choosing the different options.

A tale of two Alpinists. SARG007 (40mm) on the left and a SARB017 (38mm). Both use the 6R15 movement. Should have wiped off the dust before capturing this photo! Please disregard the wrong date on the SARB.

Damn, that's sexy.

The watch, I mean.

Found this older Zodiac in-box today. First wear out, tick-ticking away, having pizza & beer with the Mrs.

I’ll need to remove a link for it to fit great, but overall I’m quite happy with the look, feel, and weight of it.

Here’s a better picture. I’m really liking this new watch. Solid find for $20

Nice. Is that a samurai?

It's a Seiko Prospex PADI 200M Automatic Ref. SBDC055
Not quite up to speed on all the nicknames...

Is the stingray strap from that Vietnamese guy, Jazzy?

I bought this before I discovered Hoang. It's from a Spanish seller on eBay. Good quality, slow shipping, a little pricier.

The great thing about Hoang is that his straps are made to order based on your exact specifications.
