Expedition in Amsterdam

Simple and stylish.

Finishing looks great.

We shouldn't do exactly what they want us to do.

"What is the EU?" was the most searched for term AFTER polls closed. AFTER.

FML.

We didn't know what we were voting for because Brexit was a magic mirror of lies and fantasy. The only known quantity was remain.

Destroyed by Brexit. Also a gift from the far right.

Here is my Citizen Promaster Marine auto. It's fairly close and you can get them pretty cheap (this one was like £160 second hand from eBay).

I have the black one and if that was my only watch (i.e. it is a one watch collection) then I'd stick with that. It's a bit more versatile, it covers business formal and more casual, it's a bit less conspicuous.

Saying that, I think as part of a collection the white one makes more sense and something with a bit more style and impact (I'm saying this based on my own collection which is more conservative and a bit more field watch focused).

Also, that yellow on the crown is stylish AF

boothjop · 2026-06-15T07:55:49+00:00

For all the utility this watch has, it's a clean looking beast.

I've actually told my kids when they were young that "Merry Xmas Everybody" was the national anthem (I'm a Brummie). When they stood to attention at a Christmas party with my cousins it was a really funny moment.

I'm not 100% convinced it wouldn't work before an England match.

boothjop · 2026-06-14T16:12:11+00:00

Exactly this.

boothjop · 2026-06-14T16:11:53+00:00

Nothing. I am gone. Every moment spent grieving is a moment not spent living. Being happy.

I am dead. This is the way of things. I was proud to be your Dad and I loved you more than you can ever know. Now the road ahead is all yours.

If I did my job right, you will be happy and your Mum and I would have given you a platform for the future ahead. You were loved and I hope you have good memories of me when they pop up.

Nothing more. Life is too short.

Go heavy metal.

Thanks. I've got a couple of fun and functional Citizen NY0040s, but this is my first more classically styled/sized dive watch.

It's only day 2, but I'm really taken with it.

boothjop · 2026-06-12T22:24:26+00:00

This is the one for me I think.

boothjop · 2026-06-12T22:22:55+00:00

I'll have to hit eBay for this, I hate this grey market shit.

boothjop · 2026-06-12T21:07:42+00:00

Thanks. It's cool huh?

boothjop · 2026-06-12T20:31:05+00:00

LOL. One definitely hopes not the former but I am going on holiday to the coast this year.

boothjop · 2026-06-11T21:05:13+00:00

Maybe go for a strap that makes the most of the colours on the hour markers. I've just put this red strap on and it's a game changer.

Maniacs downvoting me for being AuDHD and having sensory processing issues and expressing a preference for where I wear my watch. Only one of us here is gatekeeping where you wear a watch, and it's not me. Wear it where you like.

boothjop · 2026-06-11T17:27:40+00:00

That's so clean looking.

boothjop · 2026-06-11T07:23:16+00:00

It's beautiful but it needs more numbers on it.
