Just got my new Panatime strap for my TSAR. The stitching is grass green. Looks good with the tridium

Oh nice. I've been wondering if I can just buy some tritium paint and just paint the hands on my watch.

Amazingly, I just found this thread.

Here are a few of my "poor man's" watches:

Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic:


Maratac Mid-Pilot (Gen 1):


Seiko 5 (the one that started it all):

I like the Yobokies shroud.

Haha, you know what's up. =)

It's been hard to get this thing off my wrist, it even dethroned my favorite SKX/PMMM mod.

Does anyone have experience with both Crown and Buckle + Gnomon nato straps? Is one better quality or are they negligibly different?

 

[WorkingClassDude]

I have primarily Gnomons and they are pretty good, pretty solid. With Natos though, if you tend to wear one a lot or over a long period of time, that one hole you use will usually get a little stretched right? Maybe a little frayed? It's to be expected and sometimes you can repair it with a lighter.... Well I just got a C&B nylon nato (my only other is a C&B leather nato, which is holding up fine though admittedly I don't wear it often) and I noticed that after about 2 weeks of only occasional wear, the hole has frayed/stretched a little bit more than I would have liked to see already... Not sure if it's enough to warrant a complaint or return to C&B so I have to wear it a little more and see.

and this gucci 3000m that i've found on the floor of a shopping mall (and it's not a fake one)

sorry for the huge pics.

I hope you feel bad for not handing it in, thief.

Has anyone ever heard of a Seiko 5 that comes on a leather band (instead of metal or nylon)?

Just replace the strap yourself. Who cares what it "comes with"
