First time on the wrist. Very shinny and glossy!

I'm not a fan of the 7s36 movement though but it's not a deal killer if you can find a deal.

This watch came in on a black croc-print leather strap.

Didn't work for me so I am trying this padded strap that seems to compliment the copper details of this dial.

The movement is nicely decorated:

Just my $0.02 USD as always.

I don't know the brand, but it's a very nice watch.

Well done on the strap. I'm not a fan of alligator-print watch bands either.

Funny thing about the symbol at 7:00. At first glance it reminded me of that logo worn by the singer Prince.

There’s actually no real “trauma” involved once you know the trick of removing the links. It’s actually the easiest to resize among all the bracelets i have. Contrary to what some online videos and suggestions by others, what actually works best would be a flathead jeweller’s screwdriver. Just poke it in the hole (all guys know how to do that, right? [emoji23]) and sort of dig towards the direction of the arrows, using the back of the hole as a pivot. It should pop out effortlessly. Then use some pliers to pull out the center block.

I’m not sure if i made sense. Just never use spring bar tools. You’ll never get those links out easily, ruin the tool, and that adds to the frustration.
It makes sense and is exactly how I adjusted it for that Casio Royale and some Seiko 5 cheapo bracelets.


This one's rapidly becoming a favorite, as I expected. I just need more greens, yellows and blacks to go on the sleeve.

%99 of people do not notice or care whats on your wrist. All that matters is that YOU like what you see.

Ah yes, Prince, the artist formerly know as

The logo at 7 is a stylized df. The maker is David Freemont McCready and his brand is d.freemont.

At the Monterey Bay Aquarium with the kids today. This is part of the jelly fish exhibit. This is the best pic I could get without look too much like a weirdo. Image
