    Bought an Orient Star Classic. Did the job for a while. But ultimately grew bored

    Also tried a Seagull 63 reissue. Same deal -.-

    Got this Seamaster COSMIC for 350€. Probably paid too much, but the dial is so clean, everything seems too be original. Slightly overpolished, but it fits my wife like a glove :)
    I must say i am surpised that these are so unpopular, they look really fun in person.

    I got a strap and a bracelet with it, but it doesnt really fit this model.

    You do know what the bracelet is.... don’t you ?

    Edit to add: @Eve if you don’t know and like you say it doesn’t suit the watch, then I’ll give you a couple of hundred bucks for it then you can buy any beautiful leather strap you like :D. It’s a great deal... just, erm, don’t google 1039 first ! What number are the end links ?

    The Swiss Army was $1. The other 4 were $20 for the lot. The HH Chantplain is not shown as it is pieces. Swiss Army, Benrus, and Timex all strong runners. Bulova, Chantplain need love. 1556640678802669722425.jpg 1556640727842-1135955894.jpg

    Came with an unoriginal bracelet, let's try hornback and see how that works out.

    Is there any demand for off-brand bracelets? The end links fits this 36mm case nicely: [​IMG]

    This guy for $11 delivered, ‘cause I was feeling nostalgic. Was hoping for a birth year, but not quite, I’m definitely older. (Yup, still beeps and has that barely there light - love it!)
