    I honestly havent even thought about it. I have skinny wrists and not many bracelets work for me. Might roll with something like this from Hodinkee. Thoughts?

    I can't tell from the photo, but I hope it's not some funky integrated bracelet with ultra-wide lugs. Of the three, I think the grey might be interesting; might make the dial really pop.

    I've never bought a Hodinkee strap, but I have bought way too many from http://www.crownandbuckle.com/straps-by-type/shop-black-label.html - The quality of the black label line is excellent, though they're all in the same double side-stitch vintage style, so a bit different from this line up of Hodinkee's wares.

    Just got this, I don't know if it is going to stay a longn time since I've bought a lot of pieces lately but my jaw is on the floor... Sublime, feels like a watch from today, yet it's 55 years old... image.jpeg image.jpeg

    Just in from the Great White North. Omega Memomatic. The seller described the watch dial as having "some wear on the dial" among other issues (see pics). I looked at the pics dozens of times and came to the conclusion that it was just scratches on the crystal. As it turned out I was right. The dial is in great condition as is the movement. Now to remove the seal and a service. 2017-03-03 001.JPG 2017-03-03 002.JPG 2017-03-03 004.JPG 2017-03-03 005.JPG 2017-03-03 006.JPG

    Though I'd not have guess she'd ever have heard of B&S, a new strap arrived yesterday for my Memovox, compliments of Mrs. Darlinboy.::love::

    Being the wife of a watch collector, I would have thought she was used to a lot of BS :p

    I don't see myself owning a blue dial Speedmaster anytime soon, but apparently Omega make other models!

    Pretty sure the dial is original. Looks consistent with similar blue Geneve dials I've seen and the text looks good under a loupe.

    A Heuer Bundeswehr homage that came in yesterday. These watches were created as part of a watchuseek forum project and this one in particular has a non logo dial and a rather rare ghost bezel. Not particularly into homage watches but really digging this one.
