As I was saying last thread, the guy with the blue/black bezel Seiko should keep it that way, a black bezel would just make it boring. And his 40 year token confuddles me.

Nice rolex, when did they start putting it out like that or is it an aftermarket dial? I like it better without the text like that, I think the crown and the ROLEX is pretentious

The fact is the dial is not Rolex

Would cop. Hhnnnng

Why are dive watches so popular? They're tacky and have a utilitarian aesthetic, but everyone pretends they look appropriate as dress watches. This makes no sense. It's like wearing a tool belt with a suit.

Only if you have a crustache

You're thinking about this too hard

Because people are trendwhores and divers have the largest presense on the wrist.

Undone are by far the most interesting fashion brand going right now. They have some pretty nice looking speedmaster homages too.

In your case, it's understandable. However, I'm willing to bet 99% of dive watch enthusiasts cannot even swim.

Most watches are styled after some old utility need, I guess you can only buy a field watch if you hang out in fields all day or a pilot watch if you work for delta etc

I've thought about it, but I don't really like how leather straps look on oyster style cases because they leave that big ugly gap between the lugs. I might eventually buy a strap to try it out, but I'm not convinced. Plus the bracelet is really good and to me the bracelets are like half the reason for buying a Rolex in the first place.

Undone, as mentioned by another user earlier. The Mystique may be up your alley.

Mine doesn't have that problem.

Rolex has always consistently had better bracelets than the competition. Find me a bracelet that old and heavily worn that isn't also stretched, or a bracelet from that era that had solid links or a milled clasp. They didn't exist.

If you don't mind vintage look into 7a28 Seiko chronos. Some clean white dialed one maybe. Besides that some modern ones off the top of my head

lol that looks worse quality and harder to make than solid links, why do that?

Soyboy wrists each and every one of them.

They didn't learn about lug length in school

If I even got a Nomos I would go with the 33mm or 35mm desu

Thoughts on Squalelelele Tiger?

Because individually milling bracelet links out of solid blocks of steel is complicated and was probably prohibitively expensive decades ago.

I'll admit they did me too, at first. It seemed all wrong - cyclops, crown, indices, but it started to grow on me. Might buy one to see how it looks irl

What watch is this??

Real turtles didn't have that prospex crap on them user

If Seiko ever did anything like that I wouldn't ever buy another new Seiko again

It's a Rolex Submariner with a blank dial installed

The lug to lug is only 48mm. Mine is 6.75"

Well, I didn't want someone's grimy old shit

I know your wrist size user, I remember because I asked you about it when I was considering the turdle last year

The current largest watch I own has a lug to lug of 46mm and I'm not sure I can push more

Attached: Capture.png (527x483, 565K)

Interesting. I just got my turtle last week...

If you don't mind quartz solar there is this "womens" PADI Seiko. But really is it 38mmx46mm. Which is perfectly fine for a guy.

must be some other user then, with the exact same turtle and wrist size, though on a better thought he had less arm hair

Wait a minute is the bearmode guy windyknob shitposter?

There’s a couple of them there’s the original guy who just shit posts stock Photos, The guy you’re talking about who owns two of them and another guy who owns a least one

Only time it is annoying is when wearing long sleeve jacket with elastic cuff. I also wear it on this perlon which is a bit better for that.
