Sometimes all it takes is a new band.
Here is a Nomos Glashütte copy that I put a spare band on. It takes away the 'formal occasions only' vibe that the black leather band had.

Very nice watch!Decided to take a 110 mile motorcycle run to pick up my “new to me” gently worn IWC Mark XVIII.

Forgive the sunscreen, pollen and my fingerprints. I wore it home via motorcycle.

One of the coolest features of this watch is the double-domed crystal and the use of anti-reflective coating - which in harsh light gives the dial a fluorescent blue.

Indirect lighting returns the dial to a rich black.

No regrets with opting for the Mark XVIII over the latest version, the Mark XX.

On edit. One extremely pleasing benefit is that IWC’s Warranty extends to the Watch for 8 Years! I registered the watch online and it’s previous owner had purchased it 10 months ago… my Warranty is good until August of 2031 !!!
Let’s hope I’m still here.
Some new additions. This one, a Sinobi, unfortunately came damaged, but it was only $15. I really like the dial on it.
After a while of humming and hawwing over it, I bought my first wooden watch, a Bobobird. Again, not a bad buy for $30 Canadian.
Tragedy!
While playing with my son the glass face cover came off, and in my attempt to pop it back in, it broke.
It was only $20, but still

Or that store to start selling on AliExpress again
Does anyone have some advice or experience changing the glass on a watch?
I've found very affordable replacement glass on AliExpress that may just save my Nomos knockoff.

A pin on my old Invicta (not spring bar) broke, so I had to get a new one.
Luckily I had one on the shelf.
