So It worked! Just have to take better photos in a better light!

[IrishHeart]

@ARNC your advice was spot on. Thanks again

[ARNC]

@IrishHeart you’re welcome. Glad you got it to work!

[goosehd]

Outstanding gentlemen…guess you can teach an old dog new tricks.

[IrishHeart]

@goosehd haha, so it seems!

[Mizmazzle]

@IrishHeart nice man!!! This is going to revolutionize your posting game!!

[IrishHeart]

@Mizmazzle haha, be careful what you wish for!

I was looking at Orients last night. They seem high quality low cost. Any thoughts?

[Mizmazzle]

I’ve heard great things about Orient. My buddy Josh @Memphisakers wears them almost exclusively.

[Matt]

These are the two I’m considering atm…

[Matt]

And this one…

[Cole]

Not shure what watch threat to put this in, but since you do not have to sell a kidney or one of your children to get one I guess this is the appropriate one.

Seiko SPB 257J1 "Captain Willard" special edition.

The SPB 237J1 Version is allready on the way to me as well.

@Cole Goes with that shirt well. I love a turtle, but man that case is big. I don't exactly have dainty wrists and they're still a bit wide for me. I really wanted the JDM anthracite bezel one but they went extinct before I could pull the trigger.

[Cole]

@WhiskeySandwich It looks bigger on that picture then it is in reality. I've got a 7" wrist and it is just fine and wears very comfortable as a bonus. But the design is realy a hit or miss. You either like it or not and it is definetly a lot less versatile then my Omega Seamaster.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Cole dang, it looks good on you and my wrists are like closer to 7.3 or something. I don't think it looks big in your pic, it looks good. I tried one on someplace after looking at a million pictures and thought it felt huge on there. Maybe its just because I'm used to 40-42mm cases.

[Mizmazzle]

@IrishHeart yeah man!! Looks great on the brown leather!! Mine came on a bracelet when new and I can’t even imagine it that way now. But it’s such a classic watch it would look great on literally anything.

[IrishHeart]

@Mizmazzle I think you made a great choice to change the strap. I just think it looks better with a leather strap.

[Matt]

@Cole thanks a lot man. I can’t get that watch out of my head now. Really like it.

@Cole thanks a lot man. I can’t get that watch out of my head now. Really like it.

Allways happy to help.

I'll post the SPB237J1 as soon as it arrives from Japan next week, just to give you some more food for your head.

[Cole]

Hey @Matt it arrived. I like it a lot. Better pictures to come.
