Nice piece on a Hamilton Field watch collector. All about the details, right? https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/confusing-fall-warblers-collection-hamilton-field-watches-found

Ahhh, so that's what it stands for. Daniel Wellington. I see these watches absolutely everywhere in London. Them and Michael Kors bags.

Need to snap these in the day when the lights good, but heres a pic of my 1109xx - the Signet ones that Edmond sorted out.
-
Really want one of these. Keep looking at it.

Popped this on for the time being. Got it off Etsy for my old Seamaster. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JonesInTokyoLeather

My impulse buy Bell-Matic arrived yesterday. A little tatty but I'm pretty happy with it for the price. Going to keep an eye on eBay for a new dial (but they seem to be pretty rare and more expensive than the watch itself!). The strap is nasty though. Going to have a hunt round for a replacement. Open to suggestions from the SUFU hivemind? Wide lugs - might just get a nicer nato strap? Or a metal braclet?

This may just be me, but I have had two pairs of washed 1109xx and they've been great, but one pair of washed 1109 and they are still (after 7-8 months) a touch too snug. Maybe the different denim shrinks differently or something, maybe I was unlucky. But aside from that, one-washes are great. Fade the same as one's I bought raw and soaked myself.
-
Yeah, same. Also the reason I really like the Omega multifunction watches. All those features with a really limited way to control them.
-
I don't know. To be honest, I got instant buyers guilt when the email from eBay arrived. The face is pretty tatty and I didn't even check if the alarm worked. CURSE THIS THREAD!! Will definitely add photos when it arrived.

Big time. I just won an eBay auction for a Seiko that I randomly put a bid on. Was cheaper than the 'beaters' I was look at so thought 'why not?'. t

Thanks for the links! The smaller one is ok - I have pretty skinny wrists so 38-40 is about my sweet spot.
-
Ahhh - that Timex is just the kind of thing I'm after. And it's in the END sale...
-
Anyone here have anything they like wearing as a cheap day-to-day beater? I had one of those Timex military replica ones that was about £40/£50 - wore it when I was cycling to work and whatnot - but I lost it.
-
I don't think they're on that level, personally. Soles are more comfy, rest of the construction is pretty much the same as the standard Vans Authentics. The ones I just posted are the Anaheim ones.
-
Pretty unimaginative, but it's a pair of white Vans Authentic. When a pair wears out, I get another and have done for years. Same colour every time. This pair is about to get relegated to DIY duty.
