Looks nice, what is the size?

I hade a Sugess a while ago also with a Seagull movement, but unfortunatly I always found the size too big. I belive it was 41.5mm or so and a bit thick 😁

Its a 42 mm dial but looks larger on my wrist similar to a 47 mm watch I also have, must get the calipers out and have a measure.

There are some very nice watches with decent movements coming out of China these days, the Debert is an automatic Seagull movement, I am on the look out for other Seagull movements both hand wound and automatic, incredible value at the moment from China I am sure that it wont last.

Got this Eterna tre tacche recently, marked ”Malmsjö” on the dial which was a swedish retailer and marked ”import” on the bottom instead of swiss.
32.5mm excluding crown which is perfectly wearable!
Nice movement

Forstner Komfit with Horned Endlinks for my CK2998.

Definitely an acquired taste, but total buy-in now. It has not been easy pairing this watch with bracelets. Love this pairing.

My company relaxed our dress code this year and so I wanted to get a watch to wear with the uniform of the Pacific Northwest: flannels. After a lot of research I decided on the Tudor Black Bay Bronze with Slate dial. My local Omega AD *almost* changed my mind to the Seamaster Diver, but it wasn’t fit to purpose... I’m still thinking about it though!

Good pick! I really dig the ombre fade on the dial. It looks really nice in person, but doesn't always show up as well in photos.

So, before they "relaxed" the dress code was it more formal, like only AP, VC, and PP dress watches?
