This watch is solidifying its position as my favorite beater. Built like a T-34, the date changes instantly at midnight, and it keeps remarkably good time. I don’t think any of my watches can beat the value proposition, and it’s just fun to wear. Seems odd to keep picking it out of box of Omegas, Seikos, a Junghans... but I do.
Great example of wear what you want, and screw what others think about it.

Spent a quite pleasant morning exchanging straps and bracelets. Spent a a even more pleasant time deciding which new watch and bracelet pairing to wear.

And the winner is a c. 1965 Longines Conquest with a lovely pearlescent dial mounted on a period Forstner mesh with fixed ends. Joy!

A short while ago, @jerryct posted a funky Wyler Dynawind I had never seen before. I ran across the same model on an original bracelet a few days later and couldn’t pass it up. It was missing the seconds hand, the upper half of its split two-piece stem and its crown. I dropped it off at my WM and he had it back to me the next day. Although my WM had an appropriate seconds hand I chose to go without as I think the design is cleaner that way. I switched out the bracelet for a black strap as the bracelet was just a tad small. Circa 1969, powered by an ETA 2451. It’s been on my wrist the past few days...definitely a keeper.
