@popvulture do you play in a band, or just a guitar playing aficionado?
-
@Mizmazzle I played in bands for years but it got a bit harder to wrangle people once we passed 30. After 40 even worse, so now I’m working on some solo stuff. Trying to get up the nerve to play solo acoustic shows — I didn’t mind being the singer in a band but somehow doing it up there alone is scary as hell! How bout you?

@popvulture I used to play/sing in a band in my early twenties. It fell apart. Damn it was so fun though. Later a friend of mine and I started writing songs and she sang and I played guitar. We’d throw parties and play for friends. Nothing crazy. But that same rush of performing songs we made was super fun. Haven’t played for some time though.
You should just go for it man!! Scary things feel so good afterwards!!
-
@Mizmazzle I’m gonna! Just gotta iron out some songs and record some stuff. This is the year to get shit done — life’s feeling too short!

…and the rush is indeed really great. And amen to scary stuff feeling great afterwards. You should get back at it too!

@popvulture hell yeah!! At least we don’t need to be worried about what we’ll wear…IH got us covered, rock star threads through and through!!

Second modded Seiko, which received as a Christmas present. Want to get a rubber strap for it. If anyone has any recommendations, I would be most grateful!

@tody the Ahoi was intended to be Nomos's sport or swimming watch, hence it's got a 200-metre depth rating. Monochrome has an article from 2013 on its initial release.
These days it's available in a 36-mm case, which shouldn't be too big for your wrist. I think that I prefer the Club Sport Neomatik, which is a shade bigger at 37 mm, but I'd need to try both on to decide.
-
@popvulture I agree with @Giles about the Glashütte Original SeaQ range. They start at about the same price as a Submariner but are much finer pieces of watchmaking. I took a look at them when they first came out and I thought that the finishing was better than the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms I compared them with.
I'd probably throw the basic Senator Excellence in as another suggestion, if you want something that isn't a dive watch.

My dad got this for me, never had a “smart” watch. Unfortunately I can’t wear it to work for security reasons since it has a built in mic. But pretty neato.

Grew up reading Clive Cussler and always wanted a Doxa. This Nodus ticked that box. Should be here soon.

I sold the two Steeldive watches (SD1953 and SD1975) just to get myself another homage watch without provoking the wrath of my wife to mutch.
The following is a San Martin SN0121T-GA. It is a 39mm homage of the Tudor Pelagos made out of grade 2 titanium with a sapphire crystal and an Seiko NH35 movement. It also has a 6 Position Quick adjust for the bracelet and offers a very good value / money ratio.
In one point it is, in my opinion, even superior to the Tudor Pelagos, because San Martin does not print the complete Harry Potter epic on it's dial.

i dislike colored carbon, so would go for the red which to me reads as more of a black watch with a pop of red seconds and sub-chapter. It doesnt appear to have any lume on the seconds hand which would annoy me. On any of them I'd change out the strap to a black isofrane. I'm a sucker for cushion case / hooded lugged divers and generally like these overall.
