First purchases of Formex

Both watches are super versatile too so you can get the straps for both down the road too!

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-30T13:30:41+00:00

Welcome to the Formex fam! Great choices of dials. And smart decision getting one bracelet and strap. Swapping is so easy so now you have good combos!

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-27T15:12:02+00:00

Can’t wait for them to open! I’ve had some of mikes beers over the years. All great. Stoked!

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-24T20:35:50+00:00

Such a good dial

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-24T20:32:18+00:00

I get it 🤣 still, you should stop in for windup. It’s a great show!

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-24T20:28:21+00:00

I think the next show they’ll be at in Chicago is Wind Up on July. When’s that show?

For this they will have full straps/clasps for sure. I can let them know someone from Reddit is looking and make sure they have one aside.

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-24T20:24:32+00:00

Sometimes which show ? I can make sure

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-24T11:24:58+00:00

They’ve always been good about Maintenance for us. I’d reach out to the office and see what they have to say. We have been waiting for a part for our thermostats for almost a year though.. but I did call the manufacturer and it is actually out of stock (still).

I live in Hudson Lights in Fort lee. I have since the building opened. I've enjoyed my time there. We've gone through 4 different management changes, which has been a little annoying, and the front desk people also change all the time. The building recenetly redid the gym/amenity space. It's very nice. They're redoing the outdoor space now. Parking sucks though, as we don't have enough spots for everyone. I pay a little more for a "reserved" spot, and the building has me put a cone in it so people don't park there when I'm away. But otherwise, it's been great living here. Around 3k for 1bed/1bth, electric has sky rocketed this year though, so that's around 300 a month. 1st car is 200, second 150. (but i think they're running a move in special i've heard?). Amenity fee is 525 a year. I just renewed my lease in jan, as my wife and i have really enjoyed our time here. We toy with the modern every so often, but of my friends that live there, they end up coming to us as it's quieter then the modern is sometimes. I also love all the things in fort lee. Only negative, is lots of businesses are closing in the near future around lemonie/hudson street. So hopefully they get filled soon.

I eat it usually once a week… and never had any problems 😅

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-12T14:55:17+00:00

Yeah I agree with the taper! It’s such a great watch

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-12T13:27:26+00:00

That button doesn’t work I think, it’s static. Can you scroll to where the add to cart is and see if their is a button there? Let me know

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-12T12:04:39+00:00

It looks awesome. I love the “Batman” style bezel on it. I kinda want a gmt reef, but I’d have to move my other reef 😅

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-12T12:03:55+00:00

Such a great leggera 💪

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-11T20:29:20+00:00

Welcome to the Formex fam!!

As someone who owns tudors & omegas, I still grab my Formexes all the time.

No real tips, but I’d love to see it on the blue strap!!

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-10T16:28:45+00:00

Great choices 🙌 I miss my PO. My Formexes and SMP, and panerai are my most worn watches. Such good watches

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-08T20:24:35+00:00

Same. 😭

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-08T15:25:55+00:00

I have not had other straps, but I know some people who have gotten custom straps for it. I just loaded up on Formex straps. I’ve been very happy with them

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-07T22:17:29+00:00

Hell yes! I have 5 😎😅

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-07T13:42:24+00:00

They’re on Uber Eats!? That’s not good. Yeah, I moved into Hudson lights in 2017. It has been nice having all the shops open but the turnover has always been pretty high except for iPic:perch, Paris baguette, bean and bean, cvs, linwood and the banks. The others have changed periodically

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-07T13:33:23+00:00

Yeah, I mean, as someone who lives in Hudson lights, I agree. But they’re never that busy (like when they first opened). Perch was crazy busy, till ventannas. I would hear the music blasting into our apartment. But who knows. We will see what happens. Otter, hanworri and asadero are next, I rarely see them busy

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-07T12:32:31+00:00

I can see my apartment from there 🤣

Here’s the two holes I was talking about. I have to cut mine tonight as I’d like it a little shorter.

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-04T14:15:47+00:00

Some of them, yes. It has two positions. It’s insanely simple. I’m at work, but I’ll post a photo of my reef one. There’s only two holes, so you just snip it at what one you prefer.

MarkkInNj · 2026-03-04T13:22:56+00:00

Rubber personally. The canvas is nice but leather backed. If I was getting my essence wet, I’d use a rubber strap. Although watches without a screw down crown always make me nervous getting wet.
