One arrived Sunday and one arrived today. Baltic on a rubber strap and Tag on a temp leather strap until I can get sizing done for the metal straps.

Nice - I bought 2 of them, one as a gift for my daughter's BF.

My daughter thinks he will like the Swatch, and if she wasn't always wearing an Apple Watch LTE then I'd have considering giving her the matching watch. I've given him a Citizen ECO-drive dress watch and ECO-drive diver over the past couple of years, after he gave up wearing a Garmin to work. But one time he'd commented that he thought an automatic watch would be fun to own too, and I thought the Swatch being Swiss might be a fair choice.

How is the timekeeping? Better than a Seiko SKX?

I haven't worn it outside yet and I never check timekeeping so can't help you.

I guess I know what to do if I'm ever bored 😀

YEP - my concern is that he is used to a Citizen watch that gains about 0.2 - 0.3 sec/day, and so I thought what will he think with any old automatic that gains even 6 seconds a day? The Scurfa Diver One that I almost gave him was running a consistent 6-7 sec/day fast, and I thought maybe not.

Stock photo, since it's still on its way from Japan, but the Scapa household is proud to welcome its first Chronomaster...

Rolex OP 39mm white. Oyster bracelet a bit snug. Need to order an extra link. Currently on an extra long Barton gator.
What are your thoughts on best way to get an extra link?

Further to my earlier post a nice 25 jewel Swiss movement and all looks clean . Shame it’s only 10 mu gold plated but for an early 70’s model decent condition and of course the price was right
