What watch do you wear?

Interesting I'd seen a lot of Formex posts pop up on Instagram in the last few weeks, that feature is quite cool although how functional is it in the movement's accuracy/longevity perhaps?

Quick release bracelets are nice to see though!

At risk of ticking off all the watch purists in here (hurrhurr)...... serious question, anyone got a galaxy watch 3?

mrk · 29 Sep 2020 at 09:10

I have considered one, but almost all of them are too bulky for my liking. However last year's Garmin 45S is 39mm and seems perfect with a 7 day battery life so I am contemplating one of those as I mountain bike now and it would be neat to track progress, routes etc.

You'll be best off asking in the mobile section

That would be a no then.

New Seiko Alpinist's look nice, shame they're too expensive at $700 for what they are and too small for my tastes

They do look like nice yeah. In a kind of similar style I like these 2 even better but they are even harder to find (Japanese retailer TikTok limited edition):

I had a couple of new straps arrive today so I decided to take some pictures once I fitted them

I took my Tudor BB58 to the AD last week, they called me yesterday and after checking confirmed that it is running slow and are sending it back to Tudor. Guess I will be without it for a couple of weeks longer.

I'm wearing my Seiko SARX057 but it doesn't feel the same.

Anyone seen the new Timex Q re-issue with all stainless steel case?

Tempted to grab a silver one! The original came out the year I was born, so that's my nostalgic connection to it.

Bit of a Tudor fan then^

very much so, still would like a Pelagos.

normally get my nato straps from watch geko, have nato on my ETA Tudor Black Bay.

might be tempted with looking at Everest straps.

BuckOff · 3 Oct 2020 at 08:46

Picked this up the other day to add to my collection

Mikey · 3 Oct 2020 at 10:00

Very nice, Harrods edition.

I wish I had the Red version on leather and blue on steal/nato.

mrk · 3 Oct 2020 at 11:48

Speaking of straps, I got the Watchgecko's Zuludiver Sennen NATO today and have to say the quality is up there with the Crown & Buckle ones which cost more than double once customs and shipping is factored in.

This will look great on the Baltic Aquascaphe :cool:

Mikey · 3 Oct 2020 at 12:08

My Zuludiver straps came from watch gecko.

I have this on my Tudor BB in blue - https://www.watchgecko.com/seat-belt-nato-strap-zuludiver-iridescent

Might look at some Everest straps

One of my favorite watches from my small collection, Farer Markham World Timer. Perfect size at 39mm, good automatic movement and a versatile watch overall.

Rikki · 3 Oct 2020 at 14:55

Got a load of watches in to film including this little guy ...

Really impressed by it!

ajf · 3 Oct 2020 at 23:38

Finally made a decision

Nice, it's got a seamaster vibe about it.
