The (Less intimidating) Watch Thread

[Go For Chill]

Work told me I had to go to San Francisco this weekend, so I threw on the ol’ plastic Moonswatch just in case I got mugged. I figured this one wouldn’t be worth me fighting back over. I do love it though.

@scooter I’ve seen so many of the Blancpains on the aftermarket for too cheap, usually from China so I’m nervous about getting one. I’m def not paying $400. I didn’t even want to pay $260 for the Moonswatch.

@Matt , i hear you. There is a line of battery powered fakes on the market, as well. I had parameters I stuck to. USA seller with shop stamped warranty card only.

@Matt , speaking of the Moonswatch, I'm on the hunt for a Mission to Saturn, now...

I like the Snoopy ones.

Was finally time for a new strap and bezel on my square. It used to make me laugh that guys on the watch blogs would say there G-Shock was on its fifth set of resins.. I’ve wore this GW-M5610 every working day on a roof for 9.5 years and only just wore through the strap keeper
I’ve had and still have much nicer watches but what a piece of kit a G-Shock is. And square and only square.

My attempt at making a keeper for this was a resounding failure, so I bit the bullet....

Is that a tuna? @Giles

[Giles]

Yep....No idea which. I bought it in Japan with Haraki's help, solar powered....

Nice Pepsi @RobeOfTheMagi

I reinstated mine as a travel watch with a strap to make it look less flash

@Bridger Old SKX Models are just lovely.

This mod is what got me interested in mechanical watches:

Very cool @RobeOfTheMagi

End of an era, I fear

New Brew Metric Star…

Do you still have this and how have you liked it after having it for a minute? Been looking at the metric star and the metric retro dial. Saw yours and loved the look of it. Thank you for any insight

[Matt]

@ZackB I love these watches. I have 4 of them currently and I’m certain I’ll get more.

[ZackB]

@Matt awesome man, all I needed to know. Been in the market and your metric star caught my eye. Thank you

[Matt]

A new automatic metric just dropped this week. Def worth a look.

The old seikos in here inspired me to upload my favorite watch, ever. I picked this up a few years ago when my ancient turtle prove unsalvageble, and haven’t worn any other watch, since. Never had a citizen, before, but it’s been crazy reliable, and who knows how long it’s been kicking’


The monocoque case is crazy comfortable.

It will probably never stop kickin' @sabergirl
