The Murren just arrived. I'm liking this watch for the price. Wish it were just a touch larger in diameter. Photoshop Express VignetteGlow filter

This should arrive tomorrow! Got it in a trade. Wish it was there auto version but is Mecha quartz. I don't have anything like it and don't have a green watch so it'll fit in I think.

Incoming in the next few days, Seiko SPB051/SBDC051. Plan on wearing it on strap, possibly Isofrane or Bradystraps, open to suggestions if anyone has any.

Go retro with the Uncle Seiko Tropic strap, which is a strap that was popular when the original 62mas was out:

I like that look, but, as far as I know, most of the Uncle Seiko straps are the super long diver style. They look kind of ridiculous on my smallish wrist. At least the last one I had did.

I've got "The Chief" flying over to visit from Ashford for only £547!
He's a bit of a purist so only 3 hands on this one!

I had not thought about that. I have large 8-inch wrists. So they work well on me. :)

Going to give one of these a try. Waterproof, but still has some texture.
