    My fathers Seiko from 1980s. Has a cheapy stretchy band that needs to be replaced as it is too loose. Maybe leather or rubber type diver band. Ordered a few cheapy chinese bands to see what I like.

    Well update. I had ordered a cheap band for one of the citizen watches and sort of torn on the look. The old ban is cooler looking but the plating is worn in alot of places and the hue is more orange. The new one looks ok but looks dirty and a tad too brassy.

    Just got my husband an Apple Watch SE, but it’s camera shy.

    I've been called as much myself! When I taught about fossils, I began the discussion with "What is a fossil.?..and anyone who says"my science teacher" flunks".

    Where do you get them serviced ..... that's one of the main reasons I don't have many watches. I'm more than willing to pay to restore a watch and the watches I really like need work.

    That’s a very nice looking watch Charlie. I see why you are over the moon.

    It is a deep sea dive watch, more likely to found in use under the sea than on the moon.

    I recently put in for a nice "personal" watch. What do I mean by "personal". Stay tuned :).

    Receive an Invicta from member from another shave site and replaced the broken band with a Sifu NATO style band.
