Long overdue a few snaps of this, very dramatic light this evening for a few shots! Still on the honeymoon with this watch - happy to report the Alpha caliber has settled down to a flatline +/- 0 seconds per day. Lost 1 second over the last two weeks compared to time.is
I'm alternating between the original Shell Cordovan on deployant and the blue-black textile strap from the newer Ahoi. Was a bit of a gamble putting it on fabric, hoping it's paid off. I really wanted something non-leather and more casual (non tapered) for the sunnier days. It's a very fine line between this and a Danny Welly on tricolour nato.
My attempt to pull off a 35mm dress watch with jeans and runners :pac:

If I were buying new watches, those last two would be pretty much top of my list.
Didn't realise the Nomos is 35mm. Cool and makes a nice change. Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

I'm really enjoying wearing smaller, lighter watches of late - it wears every bit of the 35mm and more. If I was to re-buy another Stowa I'd make it the Marine small seconds in 36mm.If I were buying new watches, those last two would be pretty much top of my list. Didn't realise the Nomos is 35mm.

Visually I think it pairs quite well with the 104 in a 2 watch sports/dress collection - surprisingly they have exactly the same size visible dial real estate at 32mm, no huge difference in the lug to lug either.
That said it does feel a bit like I've lead on my wrist when I go back to the 104 on the weekends.0 -

I’ll just leave this here
Spent yesterday afternoon watching Smokey and the Bandit, who coincidentally seems to have a watch band with denim in it. Anyone name his watch? Buford T. Justice seems to be wearing a President?

Seems be a Timex 47870 diver. It's not on a strap its a Navejo silver cuff piece with turquoise stones!

The Honda Civic or Ford Focus of watches (and I mean that as a compliment) - does what it purports to do, plus it even underwent individual movement testing per ISO 6425...so money spent on the things that matter, and not on the things that "don't" for a "tool" watch 0

Ha, ha. I have been truly pidgeon holed. I drive a 16 year old Civic Type R and my latest watch is a Seiko Ti Samurai that is about the same age.0 -

EP 3 I presume? Cracking car those. 22 year old Integra Type R here. Both keeping the faith/being totally daft.

Sweet. Yeah, like it's not green to keep an efficient engined car going for donkey's years after most have been turned into landfill, compared to somebody buying a new diesel every 4 years over the same time period...Yes, EP3. Epic car. I'll bet you love the Green Party and Gormley as much as I do.
Me. Grumbling. Just now.

I suspect that was many a guy's first good watch - decent brand at a decent price, and a decent watch. I really like the dials on them, especially in the inky dark black, but I can't get over the bracelet. And as someone who likes to mix it up with straps, natos, bunds, etc. I find it hard to see this watch on anything but that bracelet.
Having said that, no doubt I'll get one in due course.0 -
