Collections question

Not sure how to classify my Shunbun in the collection categories. It’s got 200m WR, but seems too dressy to get a sport. It’s a bit sporty to be a dre...

Nice watch, both ways.

Consider a rubberized, leather watch strap. I bought this cheap one for work and looks way better than the $15 price suggests.

commented on Breitling hard sell ·

To the best of my knowledge, Breitling depreciate like a rock. They are overpriced compared to many competitors. If you love a model, I say go for it, but on the grey market so someone else takes the financial hit.

Re: sales tactics. I prefer the polite, knowledgeable and kind helpfulness I experienced when I bought my Grand Seiko. I dress very casually (it’s a mountain girl thing) and probably didn’t look like I could afford a GS. But the nice salesman at the AD made a sale within 15 minutes. Wore the Shunbun out of the store and everyday on my vacation.

That khaki and its strap are perfect, btw.

My beloved Shunbun.

commented on What could this be? ·

uh oh! I better stay away. I've already cheated on my "watch diet".

Just gorgeous. I would treat this epic watch to a Veblenist in leather.

or: https://veblenist.com/products/black-rallye-watch-strap

or: https://veblenist.com/products/balboa-watch-strap

Or you could do a 2-piece rubber:

the possibilities are endless! Such an epic watch needs more than one strap for his wardrobe, imo. Please post what you pick out.
