What watch do you wear?

Where do you guys buy your 18mm Nato straps?

Looking into UKWatchStraps atm but haven't bought any from there before.

Crown & Buckle. They have a huge selection.

Just got a quote for getting my Seiko 6309 sorted. £85.00 which includes delivery, service and an auto repair.

That's not too bad

In response to the earlier question I would lose the green one out of the three as I don't really own anything green or like the colour.

 

[Van Diemen]

I think I will be loosing the black Sub, as it will be the easiest model to re-buy @ a reasonable price

The materials used are high end to warrant the high price though.

• The case is one piece of black ceramic
• Liquidmetal on the bezels and crowns for the numbers, markers and Omega logo
• The hands are either 18k white or 18k Sedna gold - with SuperLumiNova luminant material
• Vulcanized rubber for the bezel colour
• Fully anti-magnetic movement

Black looks best, the coloured ones look like cheap "sports" watches.

Agreed.

Just had an email from Omega on the Blue GMT, it's priced at £7900.00 and it will be with them in October. They will let me know once it’s arrived.

Yep, thought it was pretty reasonable. A local jewellery store gave an estimate of £100.00.

But, I don't see how they'll wear; are they significantly lighter than the metal one? I'm saying that because the metal one is quite thick and heavy, so on a fabric/soft strap it's going to flop around a lot if it's the same weight...

Black one is ok, the rest remind me of some sort of Casio sports watch. Thought it must be said I'm not a great fan of the all black look anyway.

wouldnt buy another omega. found the resale terrible last time.

Noticed that, it seems to be a lot more viable to pick up a decent used omega compared to say a Rolex. Id ultimately love a seamaster professional. Seen them on sale for around £12-1500.00.

 

[mikeh501]

agreed. 2nd hand is the way to go with omega (and others tbh). In contrast my BLNR is worth more now than it was when i bought it. madness.

40 this year.... considering a rolex purchase. something on a rubber strap maybe....

Was just given this yesterday as an end-of-year thank you from one of my Year 7 students

Some people have far too much money!

Unless I win the lottery a Rolex will only ever be a dream lol. Even used they're pretty expensive. Not a fan of rubber straps tbh. I've ordered a Seiko SKX007J on a rubber strap. Only because it was cheaper than the jubilee bracelet option. But ill be replacing it with a strapcode super jubilee. The jubilee that Seiko fit isn't that great, bit of a cheap tinny feel to it.

 

[mikeh501]

had a SKX007J on jubilee a couple of years ago. the strap was really nice tbh.

edit: i had the jubilee from that chap in canda wjean iirc
