What watch do you wear?

I suppose another benefit is that it's tougher than a normal bracelet given the links all working together whereas a normal bracelet has just the pins holding each link in place?

Certainly feels very tough.

Good choice and welcome to the JLC club

Cheers. The rubber bracelet won it over for me. It is much nicer than the DSSD bracelet (except the micro adjustment on the DSSD). It's massive even on my wrists but I won't be wearing it with a suit. Very happy overall. Can't wait for next week.

Have a Gear 2, finding it better than I expected.

That looks pretty sweet, like the custom strap... shame the watch does work with non Samsung devices.

It is possible to get it working with non Samsung androids, needs tobe rooted and some mucking around.

Look forward to seeing pics when it arrives. Does your bracelet not have micro adjustment? I can add a couple mm on my articulated strap for my MC Diver Chrono but adjusting a little clip.

Does anyone know of a reputable way of selling a brand new unwanted watch other than fleabay?

Tissot are sending me a PR100 Automatic, to replace my old watch that they no longer manufacture the bits for. I wanted a different one but they wont budge. Looks like ill need to sell the watch and buy the one I want in the highstreet.

I must have missed it

The DSSD has more adjustments though.

A classic Longines Five Star Admiral:

Lovely classic 5 star. And lovely Speedy too!

I have a hankering for something new. Which is always a dangerous time for anyone. Not sure what I want though. Or, I do know I would like a Pam 00448, or a Nomos but I would get killed for getting the PAM.

Need to go in to town and try some on.

Thank you.

Thank you also for introducing me to Nomos - never heard of them before, but they have some lovely bits of kit!

I really love the subtly of them. Blue on white, clean lines.

Though, I'm fancying some rose gold, but maybe something old, I'd love an old...

Where would I get a dial refinished?
I saw a nice Longines trench watch, kind of like this one...

I think that would look nice if I plated the case in rose gold and made the dial like new.

I honestly don't know, but perhaps try talking to a local jewellers? They may be able to help with at least recommending someone who can do it.
