Watches - let's see 'em

Addiesdive, it's Chinese but with a Seiko movement. I think it's the same company as Steeldive. They have a pilot watch that is excellent but I'm waiting for it to go on sale.

 

With the compliments of my employer

 

Just got this today.

 

How is the lume on that watch?

 

Very good, IMO.

 

Thanks.

 

I decided to make the 2nd time on my Citizen Nighthawk useful, by setting it to New York time. That's the time zone of our company's head office, and part of the support team.

 

Seiko beater, seat belt strap.

 

I replaced the original green canvas strap on my Seiko5 with a dark brown leather one. It suits the watch far better.

 

I think many people have this watch, or had it at some point. Nice one, and a good match with that strap!

 

Timex winder, made in the P.I. Military issue? Doesn't hack so I'm not sure, but runs great.

 

Found a cotton Zulu strap. Very nice.

That's a great looking watch. Enjoy.

Got one of these on clearance at WM for $24. Gold is $40, so that's regular retail I guess. It's a neato throwback to the mid 1979s.

 

I want watches like I want razors. Too bad the ones I want ain't priced like razors. Tudors and Omegas and Orises, oh my. All of the $ I've spent on watches, which isn't a ton but still significant, and truth be told, my favorite to wear and look at and use is my G-Shock Mudman.

I have a several real watches, including the Mudman, that were all replaced by my Apple Watch and I'm just waiting for it to die so I can go back to tickers. The Apple Watch has its purposes but man does it miss the mark of a true timepiece. I've felt like I'm missing something ever since I got it.

 

I would love a nice auto, but the price of an Omega Panda Chronograph is just more than I can justify. I have a Garmin Fenix 6 that has replaced everything else for me. I keep looking at automatics but I keep strapping the garmin on the wrist. It is mostly because I like tracking my cycling and wearing it helps keep me getting on the bike. Unfortunately, when this one goes, I will probably replace it with another one.

 

Dug out an old leather that fits. More comfortable than stock stainless, it'll do.

 

I have a Hamilton auto and I don't think I'm grown up enough for it, I always neglect it and it stops and the date gets messed up, etc.

If I ever start riding my torture device again or spring for a recumbent I may reverse my growing disdain for my Apple watch. It is a great fitness tracker, admittedly.
