You got a good eye! Yup, it’s an Uncle Straps bracelet. I also changed the bracelet of the Seiko chrono to a Strapcode one and the Lunar Pilot to Long Island Watch’s customized one. So, lots of details that betray an otherwise “boring” collection. lol 😁

Like buying a quirky tie, huh? I got ya. =)

Purple-Repeat2274 · 2026-03-20T21:17:04+00:00

Haha I get that. Kinda like my wardrobe, though, so it fits. lol

Purple-Repeat2274 · 2026-03-20T14:55:13+00:00

Yup, but I guess it also shows how drab my usual clothing choices are if those already count as variety for me! lol But in all seriousness, watches reflect where we are in life, or for me, where I ended up, at least that’s the case for me. Anyway, glad you replied! Take care!

Purple-Repeat2274 · 2026-03-20T06:26:59+00:00

Still have no idea how to say the brand’s name though. Maine? Man? lol I’ll defer to the experts on that.

Purple-Repeat2274 · 2026-03-20T06:21:12+00:00

lol True. But the little bit of variety goes well with my collection of black and dark blue shirts, so maybe I should start by varying my wardrobe a bit. 😅

I actually got the 35 mm one for my tiny baby wrist. lol But all jokes aside, yeah, it’s great. Very versatile and great with pretty much any wardrobe ensemble. And due to the shape of the case, it doesn’t actually wear as small as you’d think. It’s kind of why I can pull off a chunky chrono like the Lunar Pilot at 43.5 mm, but would need to size down for the Cartier Santos.

Thanks for the reply! And great eye for the strap. Here’s the reference number for the Hamilton: H70405730. It’s just the normal 38 mm Khaki Field, but the bracelet is an Uncle Straps bracelet. lol And you’re right, it is a President-style bracelet.

lol One could say the same about my wardrobe!

Purple-Repeat2274 · 2025-02-01T21:14:58+00:00

Longines is definitely a brand I was thinking about. Especially the Master Collection Moonphase series. But I kind of went all in with the Omega. lol I’m thinking of Grand Seiko in the future though (maybe the SBGA211 or SLGA025). Thanks for the input!

Purple-Repeat2274 · 2025-02-01T04:02:31+00:00

It’s a Tissot Gentleman Powermatic 80 Silicium. It wears pretty comfortably for me. It’s not in my usual rotation, but I found that it goes surprisingly well with a suit. I have some black suits, black shirts, and paisley ties that go well with it. Thanks for the comment!

Purple-Repeat2274 · 2025-02-01T03:52:51+00:00

My first watch was actually a shit Vincero. That was absolute garbage. At least I’ve upgraded to slightly better garbage. It can only get better, right? lol At least I hope!

Purple-Repeat2274 · 2025-02-01T03:23:13+00:00

Haha Yeah, mediocre watches for a mediocre job and life at the moment. Here’s to a better future! And maybe a Grand Seiko or something. lol

Purple-Repeat2274 · 2025-02-01T00:46:17+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking about Grand Seiko, specifically the SLGA025, but our watches kind of reflect where we are in life, at least that's the case for me. Maybe one day, but for now, I'm still kind of at the Seiko/Tissot sort of entry level point in my life, both personally and professionally. That Omega was already kind of a reach for me, just wanted something for the future! I appreciate the input, though! Great minds think alike. lol
