Are you using our old BDUs? Woodland type.
Probably, the gear I used in the 80`s were of "Band of brothers" type, puttees and all. This uniform was new(?) back then and we used it as summer/work uniform.

It’s reminiscent of the woodland BDU s issued to the US army, Air Force and marines in the 80s.

Taking a Dead Sea stroll?

Didn’t bring an expendable watch with me for my New Year’s Day trip to Jordan.
I thought a WRUNW Today thread was worth a try to gift you with this Dead Sea shot.

Happy new year all!

Thankfully, I sold the thing, inherited from my dad, ages ago... Can't say I miss it!

The positive thing is that it will never be mistaken for any other watch and its not really that bad, more excentric maybe.

This is a repost, but I am so glad that I am not wearing that Garmin today.
Firstly I dont need nor want all those functions I am sure that hockey puck have.
Secondly its, in my opinion, an ugly pice of much too big plastic. Thirdly its way too expencive at 1200 Euros. Lastly I am sure it would have given me grief, like most electronic devices does.

The Seamaster I am wearing gives me nothing but joy. It have the functions I need, without needing charging or updates. It have been reliable, more so than my digital diver. I still think it looks fantastic, even after owning it for many years. I think this one is expencive too, but when I die my heirs would be able to get more than I gave for it if they sell it.

I use one garmin too, and I see it only as a tool. It’s hard growing attachment for those kind of watches, while for your Seamaster, well 😍
For future purchases consider you may get more or less the same functionalities for 1/4 of the price (Forerunner 265)

What kind of band is that?
Probably some kind of shark mesh, similar to the one I sometimes wear during Summer.

Universal Geneve ref.5656 1936
Column wheel chronograph, just got it serviced!

Any ideas for a strap, I’m thinking black ostrich (pictured with help from ai)

Strap suggestions welcome

I don’t have personal experience with Ostrich yet, but I can suggest you to have a look at torrestraps_official on instagram and have a look at different models/materials (if you don’t know him already).

So far I have tried goat with fixed lugs attachment

And calfskin https://omegaforums.net/threads/mateo-torre-straps.181439/post-2457674

I had a look at his catalog and this goat black strap looks interesting for your watch.


Note: I am not affiliated to him in any way 🙂

I feel like I'm losing the plot. The name of this thread is "WRUNW Today", meaning "What are you not wearing today?", however there are multiple people treating it like the usual "WRUW Today?" thread. Easy mistake to make, I'm sure. But I think it's worth pointing out.
