What watch do you wear?

Today’s wear for me.




Feels quite weird to have it back on my wrist, first time wearing it since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Received an "as new" steinhart titanium 500. So far liking it. It's a /notch/ too small but the seller is sending me the spare links he forgot to put in the box. Liking it so far, nice shape, nice "modern" dial, nice bevelled crystal. Light.

That looks very smart!

Just received a lovely Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic. Very nice but the strap is too short hence having to order a replacement.

Can anyone recommend a nice but not too expensive watch stand. Just want somewhere to put it on a night time. If there is one that can hold an Apple watch (and charge it) AND a mechanical at the same time that would be even better. Pictures if you have them.

What size are your wrists? Watch Geko have some nice leather at good proces. I keep eying this watch up over the past few months. It's such an appealing piece. I kept looking at the 42mm version, but once I noticed the inner 24hr markings around the date window and how it isn't symmetrical, it bugs me. This 38mm looks better.

My gshock shipped out from Japan yesterday, and reached Heathrow at 7pm this evening. Should see it tomorrow or Saturday :) can’t believe how fast that was.

I went for the GW-S5600U-1JF. :D liked the looked of Carbon fibre band !
 
Just to add another option to the list lol, Watchgecko now sell Boldr watches and have a nice selection up - I really like this, specs and price are quite substantial given it's a Titanium case!

Edit*

Seen 2 limited edition collabs on CWS which look really cool and are equally nicely priced:

TBH I like the white gmt version (it's actually on my 'want list'), which is arguably even closer to the explorer2 in terms of design (one of the few rolex I don't actually mind) but I realised after looking at it more, and getting past the white dial, that it's probably closer to a grand seiko in terms of looks. Still much better value in either case :)

Biggest issue for me is the 39mm size which while I don't doubt will look ok on my 8 inch wrist, I still kind of feel I'd prefer it a little bigger to 'fit' my wrist better if you get me.

Do like the White Explorer 2 even with it being a smaller size

Nice watch there. As for the stand, I would get at separate one. I believe the Apple watch is changed via induction (magnetism) and you don't want to put mechanical watches around magnets as it throws out their timekeeping.
