Added a Citizen Eco-Drive to my collection after getting it 65% off. Really liking it!
Hmm, I could do with a new work watch. Keep buying cheap casios but I have my arms in and out of fresh and salt water all day and the straps keep breaking and then it's generally cheaper to buy a new watch than replace the strap, haha.
Any recommendations for something interesting under a hundred quid that'll take frequent salt immersion? Tend to prefer sterile/minimal dials and nothing too enormous. Not adverse to a nice homage but direct fakes are a bit naff.
Cool thanks for the heads up. I've placed a call with Omega to see if you can get the standard 300 without the polished bracelet which would be ideal as they can be had for just over 3k.
not telling you!
I don't want competition.
(it's the best one of the range)
My bracelet clasp is scratched up nicely now, the links have a few scratches too. I've just been saying sod it and wearing it when working on whatever, from boats to server cabinets to everything else.
Also it has to be said that in overcast light outdoors only, the difference between the shading of Titanium and the Steelinox parts of the clasp are visible. Never paid attention or noticed this before until recently when the sun has barely come out when I've been working outside. Not a big deal, just worth mentioning I guess.
It is what it is?!
The answer will be no
It's not that hard to brush the links, or get a proper watch service company to do it for you.
you are giving me palpitations
i can barely take the stickers off my watches
I felt the same, but that phase has long passed now. I suppose mostly because it's a tool watch, so should be used as such, it's with me for life anyway and it will come back looking new after its first service anyway in years to come![]()
