What watch do you wear?

Not a big fan of the Dreyfuss, they seem to have inherent QC issues, may as well join the "Est. Switzerland" class of Rotary regards to movement and crowns :(
 
I'm wearing the Zeno again today. Had a Longines yesterday. Now I just want a Panni though. Nothing else will do.

Still short.

So how "cheap" is this one going to be?

£17

The ebay ones were worth a go at £6 each. You get what you pay for really. They're fine for normal casual wear and nothing more demanding than that but the Maratec Zulu I bought first is a lot better in fit and finish. The MIL version I ordered over the weekend is plain coloured dark olive so will suit the watch better and will be more comfortable for swimming as well since the Zulu one is thicker/harder on the wrist.

I think I'll be ordering this: http://www.crownandbuckle.com/leather-nato-22mm-oiled.html
 
Jealous! I missed out on one last night with a massively scratched crystal and a grey face, which was really nice. Original bracelet and dial looked in great nick, under the messed up crystal. Would have been a nice easy fix to make a great watch.
Bid on it last minute but it came up with an error as I was in France and it was a UK auction. Went for 295 GBP! :( balls.

Get some pics up!

First time it's touched a wrist. Back in box all protective stuff on. It's a peach.
 
Ah I quite like the fluted bezels (in stainless, gold is a bit much for moi) but love the clean look the plain bezel gives.

Need to palm off some stuff so I can pick one up and not feel so left out to you now!
 
I'm looking at the Seiko Monster (Black) or the 007 but I don't want something that will annoy me under my work shirt if it is too high (if you get me)

Anyone got one or the other, care to comment?

Thanks

I'm planning something pretty horrific for this one. I would normally go more understated but I am having a dial cut from turquoise, so what's the point!

I wouldn't butcher an original watch for this but as the case was crownless, movemementless and dialless, I don't feel too bad!

It's something I want to get out of my system. Sort of native american meets tudor vibe?
 
Ha it sounds interesting... first time I've heard the phrase Native American meets Tudor! :P

Yea, as it was just the case, it's not like you butchered a living one, so I think you're forgiven. How come you chose the Tudor as the donor?
