I couldn't resist getting myself a little something for xmas....I know these watchco's aren't for everyone, and I'm still getting used to the unusual case shape, but I love the quirkiness of the whole thing...

While I love the look of the mesh when off the wrist, it doesn't work for me on the wrist. Looking at picking up an 1162/172 or a one of those hirsch performance straps in black/orange combo.

Just bought my first real watch (outside of my fitbit); an omega speedmaster 3570.50. Should have it here by next week hopefully.

Time to look for a nice leather band to go with it.

This came in the mail this week (it's an Omega 20mm strap). I don't remember ordering it. Nor do I remember for which watch I ordered it. It is a very lovely color Navy blue and I like it a lot, so I can see why I would have ordered it.

Nice present

Try this on a thick rubber dive strap,they sit and look better IMHO 😉

Yea, it was actually supposed to come on an original omega rubber...but we must have had a disconnect in communication somewhere. Will be contacting seller to follow up, but I'm kind of curious about one of these hirsch performance straps:

Think the orange on the inside is subtle enough to pick up on the ploprof hands...


This MarineNationale elastic strap is just temporary, had it laying around and couldn't not wear the watch today...

No it's a preemptive peace offering for when my new watch turns up next month

Even better 👍

A silver case for my model 1892 Waltham. While the gold case was nice I always did prefer silver for the big 18 size movements. Besides, some knucklehead had carved his initials in the back of the case with a penknife!

So happy I got this Cyma watersport clamshell for a humble sum, I was the only bidder. Can't wait to have it.

Merci 😀
I like the subtle greyish line which connects the numerals, the little dots, and the shape of the hands 😀
