A really nice watch, pretty different from the usual cheap Eco-Drive Citizen.
I beg your pardon, there’s nothing cheap about the Eco-Drive. 🧐

Good man! The 80 series is definitely a good toy, last real cruiser before they started making them comfortable. Here in Oz the 70 series is the ultimate toy, mostly cos they still sell them new. Parked next to a pristine FJ76 yesterday, the Cayenne next to it just looked wrong. It's amazing how cheap a used 200 series (or Lexus equivalent) can be in the US, when here they can go above MSRP by a good chunk.Speaking of Land Cruisers...

...I'm a fan! The navy LC (FJ200) is my daily driver. You can see my FJ80 in the reflection - that's a weekend toy. I picked up the American version of the LC Prado (FJ150) last week.
Back to PMWs, I'm chasing the Land Cruiser edition of the G-shock Mudmaster to join my collection.

What makes the 0100 special is in great part the *mechanical* side of things which is how they broke through the 5spy barrier that limited both the Seiko and Citizen HAQ until then to get to 1spy. Extreme tolerances, redesigned crystal, etc. I think it's the kind of watch that belongs in a mechanical collection and a historical point of sorts.Sorry, I respect your opinion, but for me a watch has to be mechanical.

But as Milton said
"...A mind not to be chang’d by Place or Time.
The mind is its own place, and in it self
Can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n."
IMO, "villain from a 90s comic movie" looks pretty cool but do what feels comfortable to you.
Personally, I wouldn't mess with the shoulder pads and would then return the coat.
Are these Dinkelacker full brogues?
There is no problem with Eco drive. I have a couple, including a diver.I currently have 4 eco-drive watches and really can't see a problem with them. They recharge on the windowsill, are far more accurate than my mechanical tissot, they never stop and look really good. This titanium diver came with a rubber strap but I prefer it on a nato.
Yes. They are a half size too big so I decided to sell them on buy and sellAre these Dinkelacker full brogues?
Think different strokes different folks. Some expect handmade jewelry, and don't really care for the accuracy of watches as a whole, only those which fit that description. Some want something reliable to tell the time. Some want to explore the edges of technology (HAQ, depth rating, complications). Some want modern art as expressed within the cultural constraint of "the wrist watch". There's overlap between these groups, and the market offers options for them too, confusing things further (e.g. the Tadao Ando Octissimo - both ultrathin, and contemporary art, or at least for people who think of themselves as consumers thereof).
