Vintage quartz...if there is such a thing. I have a soft spot for these analog quartz Seiko chronographs. Although fitting a strap on these is a ::facepalm1:: in the arse..

Yup, good ol' 19mm lug spacing...

It's actually 20 mm.
The design of the case makes it almost impossible to fit a strap in there. There's simply no room. Even fitting the NATO was a pain.

Something old and gold. SM chronograph (c. 321) from 1959. Best to all.

A bit different. Palladium watches aren't often seen. Looks nice with the dark gray dial.

Thanks for the kind words. I wish more watches were made out of Palladium. In fact if there was a modern watch made out of palladium that I really liked that wasn't much more that it's steel counterpart (say 30%) I'd seriously consider buying it. I'd be really tempted by a Pd Planet Ocean. 😀. Anyone else here? 😀

Taking the dogs out for an evening walk - they call it 'exploring' so this seemed appropriate.

Current palladium price is $707.00 US per Troy ounce! In jewellery, palladium is usually alloyed with platinum which is currently $1,000.00 US per troy ounce. Please let us know if you find a platinum alloy watch that you like for about 30% more than a steel one!🍿 😉
