The Old Swaparoo

I'm happier than a pig in fresh poo. I'll (hopefully, briefly) explain... Looking at my watches last night. Looking at the ones that haven't been worn...

Happy Hour?

Oh, look. It's 20 minutes past Happy Hour. Yes, dark lighting. Shade! Hot here.

So, where are my Omega vintage watch experts?

Here are four watches I've collected along the way. Usually, they were purchased simply for their excellent condition & appearance. They're simply...

All the best! My father just turned 90 in May. Much respect to them!

OR...by Friday, will your father be getting a brand-new Seiko? And as coincidence would have it, you'd be wearing a brand-new Breitling? 🙄 / 😉!

commented on Fashion Brands & Watchmaking - What Holds Them Back? ·

Something like a RL could be interesting, I suppose. But, as a Brand, they really need to focus / promote the watch guts. The 'build' of it and the mechanism. Not just their pretty ' branded' face.

commented on Does anybody else obsess over watch straps? ·

I like the look of most watches better when on a strap. Of course, a high quality or 'select' piece of leather can be beautiful. So much character to them.

I really like the convenience of NATO's, too. They can be swapped out so quickly, it's kind of fun.

But Summer? Yes, sticking with bracelets the majority of the time. Come on, Fall!

And don't even get me started on the 'holidays' straps...

OMEGA. Chronos.

Did it really take that long to ask this rather simple question?

Well, seems I've just seen my next (pocket) watch. This is awesome, so cool. Best idea I've seen in quite a while!

"...no business..."? How about from the simple perspective of 'relative scale'?

How much larger is an 8" wrist vs. 6"? 33.33%

How much larger is a 41mm case vs. a 36mm? Only 13.88%

Conclusion: As a matter of relative scale, a 41mm watch wears smaller on an 8" wrist than a 36mm watch on a 6" wrist.

Qualified responses always sound so much smarter.

Big(ger) wrist guy, out.

A modern OMEGA Constellation Pie Pan. A 38mm or 42mm (+?), who'd stand in line?

I'm always amazed brands, big brands such as this, try to figure out how to sell watches. Seems a modern Pie Pan would crush it. If you must, do the r...

Which watch do you love, but will never buy? And why?

I'm a devout Omega fan. That said, and in my attempt to round out my 'proper' mix of Omega models, the Constellation Pie Pan is just that watch for me...

Best Mesh Bracelet(s)

UPDATE: Well, given my impatient ass, at least for now, I put the original bracelet back on. The challenge is the 21mm lug width. Neither Forstner or...

So, if I'm lucky (fingers crossed), I'll be buying two Seamaster Planet Ocean 600 Chronograph's this week. I've really fallen for them. I love the big...

De Ville - Love or Hate or What?

As just one watch fan that follows this site fairly regularly, I've never understood the under appreciation for the Omega De Ville line. I've seen som...

Love Bites Twice

Well, I did it. No, not a new watch purchase. Rather, I went back to the original bracelet on the Planet Ocean and I'm in love all over again. And, co...
