Newly arrived via my friend @wristwatchb SARB 033. I switched out the nice bracelet and put on a Strap Mill Canada tumbled leather strap. Very nice, subtle leather. The pic doesn’t do the dial and finishing justice:
I picked up a couple inexpensive silicon straps for my garmin. Figured I should brighten things up for spring.
Thanks Patrick, but wait'll you see what I got in the trade. I have some pretty cool items for my Den in the works. Hopefully I will get them before @jtspartan realizes that he traded for a Feiko.
Ha! My son watched me put the strap on this watch last night. Last year, I pulled apart a vintage Swiss Roventa winder to play around with and refurbished a Wenger Quartz I bought 30 years ago and gave both to him as he asked for them (and seems genuinely interested). Both are shown in the thread... I have had a Wittnauer Diver for 20 years that I have also promised to him the day I retire (his suggestion)... After watching me get it done, he asked me if he could have this SARB as well. My (short and sweet) response? Nope, not this one. This one I'm keeping until I'm gone.
My lips are sealed . It's hard to get one over on Jason apparently but you're probably the man to do it
I have always liked this Seiko 5, but I already have a watch. Hmm, might have to get it anyway. Quick, someone talk me out of it so I can spend my money on more urgent needs like shave gear.
Here's a neat DF tip for those who don't know it: any face watch serves as a compass if you're ever lost and have no other means of finding your way. 1) Locate the sun's position in the sky. If overcast, make your best guess. 2) Point the hour hand at a spot on the horizon in line with/directly below the sun. 3) Halfway between 12 on the dial and the hour hand/sun is South. The opposite position obviously is North. Example: as I write this at 2 pm, it's overcast but North is roughly 7:00-8:00 on my dial...close enough for getting one's bearings and it's more or less in line with my N/S road. Note that this version is oriented for use in the northern hemisphere.

Found last week, a 1979/1980 Seiko 5. Face appears to have been white but has started to age with a handsome patina. Runs like an absolute top. Came with a dark olive NATO band but I swapped it for this vintage expansion...so smooth and comfortable I can barely feel it.
