What watch do you wear?

At work today, one of my managers who does have a reputation for a good taste in watches.

He was wearing the Tudor Monarch Panda with white face. It was nice. Apparently he picked it up in Geneva airport!

It's been a very good day as also my Super Oyster 22mm bracelet arrived in the post from Canada today, finally I can ditch the rubber strap on my Seiko SKX007J, rubber straps are evil.

After some swearing (first time using a springbar removal tool) I got it on.

It is lovely! There are countless reviews about this bracelet. They aren't kidding how well it has been machined. Beautiful!

I loved it so much i bought my own! same bracelet too. I even went for the J model 007 ;)

The bracelet makes the watch IMHO. The rubber strap was a bit naff although comfortable.

Probably nothing I can do but I have a lovely tissot automatic from circa 1995. Sadly whilst out the strap broke off and I lost the piece that attaches the strap to the watch. I have called Tissot who tell me due to the age of the watch that part is no longer manufactured, which I find slightly annoying.

Does anyone know of anything I can do or if there are any 3rd party straps that I could use?

I have searched ebay without success.
 
just in from Omega,I would wear the first black one no problem,

I Saw the Omega press release on those last week.

They are limited to just 8 watches worldwide.
The orange Seamaster PO GMT is the worlds first ceramic orange bezel.
The black Seamaster PO GMT diamond costs around £50k. The case back has the Omega logo as diamonds.

Diamonds on a watch? No thanks. Keep form and function, not bling... Pointless waste of money if I ever saw one.
 
I agree - too bling for most.
With only 8 being made you're very unlikely to see anyone wearing it.

Not that I'd raise an eyebrow if I saw someone wearing one anyway :p

Sorry but such shiny things do nothing for me. Something that looks minimal, classy and professional wins every time in my eyes.
 
I think the odds are more in your favour to be struck by lightning than seeing someone wearing one. :)

Random - but I measured my wrist last night as I really had no idea of my wrist size. Turns out that I am 7.5", which kinda surprised me as I didn't think they were quite so large. I need to be a little careful with picking future watches for the collection!

Bought this at the same time as Freakitchen got his. Which reminds me, have you paid me yet!? :D

It's a Steinhart Nav B-Uhr 47 Automatic A-Type:

It's quite big, probably as big as i can get away with. but so far, very pleased with it. Very simple, which to me is quite appealing!

Been looking at Steinharts website since seeing this, they have some rather nice looking watches. Did you order from Steinhart direct or their UK distributor?

Order from them direct, it is sent via courier with tracking, you get an email when it is sent. I think mine came via UPS.
