Poor man's watch thread

[RogerP]

Another nice one there Roger. The new Bond Omega has a similar mesh strap that I really like the look of. How does it wear?

The combo of strap and bracelet is very comfortable. The fact that you can adjust the bracelet to exactly the right length definitely helps. And with the drilled lugs it's a piece of cake to swap out for nato / rubber / whateveryourheartdesires. The watch head itself is also fairly compact by contemporary sport / dive watch standards.

Same watch on a nato - not my pic - I only wish I were this good with a camera:

Hey folks, I started a new thread for vintage watches. No limit on value, so anything pre-90's goes.

Splash of colour with the Seiko SRPD69

Really like that. I think I tried one of these on recently but in black. I like the red better.

60th Anniversary Squale 30 Atmos today. I know a lot of folks don’t like “faux patina” but it doesn’t really bother me and I think the dial really pops with the white outline on the hour markers here. I’ll also add that the sailcloth strap is super comfortable and now I want a bunch more of them for other watches.

Check out UNIMATIC watches.

This model is a U1-EMN from 2019.

I figure at this price point why not have some fun with colour.

Nice, the dial gives off a Vostok vibe, but looks like it's of obviously higher quality.
