It is definitely the right bracelet IMO. Is this OEM? How much did you score it for? Can you get me one?

I went for the Forstner but it just doesn't feel anywhere near as special as an OEM Omega bracelet.

My watches.. A G-Shock ready for the apocolypse, A Seiko Monster because looks mean and a G-Shock sport thing because got fed up charging bloody galaxy smart watch thing every day. But there's also a Seiko Pepsi one, it came with a metal strap which I dont like for reasons and struggling to find something that would go well with it.. any recommendations?

One of my work mates gave me this G-Shock watch a few weeks ago

Sorry it not a very clear picture as it was only taken with an iphone

I think Seiko divers tend to look good on NATOs, especially leather ones. Not really 'divey' on them, but look good.

I rather like it on the striped NATO you've got it on in the photo.

Yeah, thinking I might keep it on, just that I did'nt get that strap for that watch.

Leather NATO straps, had them before, they are nice at first but they stretch over time, and absorb more moisture than normal leather straps that are treated differently (even still, grim) - Would not buy again

Still my fav watch remains the Laco pro, the sandblasted finish is just superb, and the size too, 37mm but because the case underside is curved, it feels so compact yet has wrist presence :cool:

- Value for money is great. I'd go as far as to say this could just be my only watch for all occasions and that would just be fine.

Got the gshock bug again.. really want a metal square. The titanium virtual armour is stunning. Shame about the price tag. (For a gshock)

What do you guys think of of this,

Black Bay Chrono S&G M79363N-0008

Strongly influenced by the motorsport scene, TUDOR has released its latest edition to the Black Bay Range. Combining luxurious craftsmanship with excellent functionality, the 41mm watch hosts a stunning steel and yellow gold case set within black aluminium bezel with a tachymetric scale in...

I can get one quite a bit cheaper second-hand with all the papers mint condition, I love the style of the leather strap on this, I think it gives it an urban look that you could wear casually dressed, any other recommendations around the 3-4k range?

mrk · 15 Mar 2023 at 18:03

It looks horrendous no offence

Things change I've changed · 15 Mar 2023 at 18:41

Really, what's your critique on it out of interest? You not a fan of Tudor Chronograph's?

mrk · 15 Mar 2023 at 18:44

Preferential and all that but it's too blingy, that style of strap is also pretty obnoxious in styling in the modern age, classically they had their place in say pilots watches etc but that was purposeful. Also, can't thknk of a single piece of attire that the overall theme would go well with? Whereas almost all other Black bay styles will work with basically any clothing under any situation.

Things change I've changed · 15 Mar 2023 at 19:23

Fair do's, I'm not normally drawn to watches with a lot of gold, but in person the gold looked slightly aged, it wasn't bright at all, I thought long term it might age/patina quite well.

What's your recommendation for urban/casual wear around 3k?

mrk · 15 Mar 2023 at 19:24

Does it have to be a chrono?

Things change I've changed · 15 Mar 2023 at 19:25

Not essential no.

mrk · 15 Mar 2023 at 19:28

If Tudor, then one of the Pelagos models for sure. Lightweight, the Titanium does patina but in a tasteful way and only subtly, the oxidisation of the material covers light scratches too over time. Can't hep but feel the Black bay range has been over-milked by Tudor, and overhyped by social media at this point.
