What watch are you wearing today (WRUW)

[Randy]

Bitten by the vintage Seiko bug, just picked up a 1984 "baby Santos". Think a Dolce will be next, Seiko's design team were on fire 1975-1990... But, I guess the same could be said of any Japanese product design team during that era, just think of all those lovely sports cars

Is this your wife's watch?

Is this your wife's watch?

Only a real man comfortable with himself and assured of his masculinity can wear a classy watch like this one mate

Let me guess, Randy is scared of pink shirts too?

Agreed.

Pink shirts are very good! But I first hesitated to shave my chest

I'm ok now!

Had occasion today so it was the littlest Movado.

1984 and literally mint condition, still has the sticker on the caseback.... unbelievable. I've missed this classic style since trading in my Cartier Tank a couple of years ago, obviously cannot compare them directly now but from memory I'd say the Seiko has superior finishing, not even close actually.

Same old Hammy for me, same old pic too. Been on my wrist all week. I love a field watch for their speedy legibility and utilitarian sturdiness but there’s a few improvements this one could do with.

These Crown & Buckle NATOs really are the best at the price, nothing else has come close. However, I’ve got a couple of leather straps incoming and from them am hoping to learn to make my own. Got the tools and plenty of leather so a wee bit reverse engineering and I could be good.

Got the 42mm Khaki. At 52mm, lug to lug, it's a bit big for my wrist but keeps excellent time

Lovely watch though. Right up my street.

My strap arrived. Badalassi Carlo Italian leather and in my opinion, great value at £19.95 delivered. Handmade by a fella on ETSY. Hopefully I should be able to make these once I get a workshop sorted out.

Off to Bicester Village today and an overnight stay with Mrs Saint. Shops to visit? Bremont, if the price is right on a GMT who knows what may happen ?

 

[Northam Saint]

Didn’t see a Bremont I liked but did see this for £850 ! Pleased with that.
