I like the current Seamasters too, except for those skeleton hands. Can't stand 'em. Pulled the DeVille out of the safe for a shot. A classic dress watch. I think it's a caliber 565. Womble did the restoration.
I'm going all rockabilly with this new Brazilian python skin watchband. I love my Eco-Drives.
I also have a new watch on the way from a trade.

I love the plain eco drives like that. Simple yet classy.
Tudor Black Bay - this was the first model with their own in house movement after Swatch pulled the plug on providing ETA ebauches. I thought it was an interesting curiousity because of this (obviously I love the look too).
This was my “gift” to myself to celebrate the birth of my son. Intended to pass it on to him one day along with my father’s Omega:
Tudor is making some really cool watches. I've had my eye on the Black Bay 58 for a while, and I plan to pick up a 1926 for my next watch, which I'll wear as my daily work watch.
The mail ran, and it’s here!! My new Eco-Drive
I am mot crazy about the date window. But, I wanted something to wear with jeans. I will be swapping bands on it ASAP. Brown leather…. gouache.

Not sure. All day outside, black silicon makes sense. But, black alligator would look great as well. I have a leather working friend who I may ask to do me something with Celtic interlace. Options.
Its important to check the screw-down crown periodically because mine has come unsealed/unscrewed over time simply by putting coats on and off, and then water can get in there.
U own any from Barton? I love the quick release....I'm too old to mess with tiny parts.
Always had a watch, but never collected them. More tool to be worn and replaced when necessary.
To be honest, I am not familiar with band brands. I just go by quality. The jewelry stores I am in and out of collecting benchwork all have great selections of bands.
Here’s a cool made in UK Timex mechanical hand wind.
An all stainless TAG (stock photo) that I bought back in 2000. Almost daily wear and just a solid timekeeper.
You people with watch obsessions are why I keep a sticker over my webcam!
I picked up a shiny, used Citizen on that damned auction site a few years ago. I've worn it once.
Good advice. The Casio so far has never loosened. To close the stem you have to depress while you tighten.
Does is say, "Made in UK" most of mine made outside the US are stamped "Swiss made."
If you are curious about the year of that watch, this is a neat Timex feature... Timex date decoder. Find the date and value of a vintage Timex watch - https://serial-number-decoder.co.uk/timex/timex.htm
I'd be interested to know if it is a Marlin. I've never seen one like that. It would have definitely drawn my attention.
