And yet I wish Tudor would just make a watch that looked much like that San Martin

Lol I feel you man. I was like man this is kinda what Tudor was going for with the BB58 but they executed it better

Mido+Dior denim. It was running intermittently, so I took it apart and there was a screw missing in the movement. Found a screw the proper size from a spare AS movement and it’s been running good for the past few days.

After speaking to a watchmaker about my zodiacs, both of which had amplitudes in the 160s, and realizing that buying a bunch of cheap vintage watches wasn’t a good financial decision, I splurged on a new modern watch. Nothing fancy, but a Swiss auto chronograph. And the colors match my de rosa. Looking forward to getting it.

My first new watch, and first chrono.

I had a Mido once. The self winding function was pretty cool.

Thickness between a vintage hand wound 2 hander (universal geneve) and modern automatic chrono (edox). Kind of impressed how accurate the UG is for a watch that’s around 5mm thick including the acrylic crystal.

TCB and PP

Not a combo I thought I'd see! Beauty!

Bezel or no? The bezel on my braun has been kinda sticky, so I took it off to clean it and I kind of like the watch without it.

Always like this as far as I recall. It’s 12 years old.

Zodiac and Hogg’s (Nepenthes)

Vietnam eta military watch strap on bulova. Now the 16mm lug width makes a lot of sense, and the color looks better than the factory blue or black.

NOS GS, limited edition from 2015 or 17, I’ll have to check. Worn here with 3 flavors of indigo: FW pants, Tender jacket, Andersen-Andersen sweater.

They are getting smaller with the new 39mm Tudor options but still too chunky. I wish Rolex would follow suit as well.  Much prefer the size of the vintage models on my wrist.

Bulova and 45rpm aihiko
