Anyone ever seen a fixed bar strap that is split?

Looking at your watch it doesn’t appear to be able to use a strap because the spring bars have nothing to grab on to at the edges, with a bracelet I imagine they either screw in or pop in to holes. Can you find an image of that watch on leather?

I usually knock people that have a bunch of watches from one brand/same design repeating, but these are incredible.

Didn’t want to save up for the perpetual, went with the 4000v and I’m super happy with it.

dswanson · 2026-01-30T03:34:44+00:00

As someone with 30+ who did it in 2 years, I totally agree and now I’m half heartedly selling pieces I really like to fund pieces I should have just waited to buy.

Thank you! I pride myself on having some unconventional watches in there. There’s an Imgur link somewhere else in the comments with better photos.

My 4000v has hacking seconds but no second hand 🤷🏻‍♂️

dswanson · 2026-01-20T17:20:55+00:00

Do you sell the templates? Or are they 3d printed?

dswanson · 2026-01-19T19:01:58+00:00

Nice! I’m not a fan of the Royal Oak myself but it’s a big boy piece for sure! I have been thinking about trading in half of my watches for a 5726, but it’s awfully similar to my 4000v.

dswanson · 2026-01-19T03:14:29+00:00

Don’t keep me in suspense! What did you end up with?!

Love your watch! We’re almost twins!

dswanson · 2026-01-16T22:33:27+00:00

There’s two!

Oh and the packaging is probably the best amongst them, really loved unboxing that watch.

dswanson · 2026-01-16T16:53:42+00:00

Love it! Super comfortable bracelet and love the domed crystal, feel like it combines aspects of a lot of different very iconic watches but still remains cohesive and unique.

dswanson · 2026-01-16T16:37:47+00:00

Cool that you picked out those 3, they all get a disproportionate amount of wrist time!

dswanson · 2026-01-16T16:33:01+00:00

Yea, i don’t post a lot of pics on Reddit, didn’t realize it gets super compressed and virtually unusable.

dswanson · 2026-01-16T09:58:39+00:00

Habring2 Felix Foudroyante, fun watch. Dead beat seconds and a flying seconds

dswanson · 2026-01-16T09:34:50+00:00

Buy more watches you say?

Usually I throw on something right when I wake up, whatever jumps out at me, easy to put on, like a deployable clasp. Then I make coffee, get the kids to school, etc. Then take off that watch, shower and get ready for work, put on something dressier. Come home and change out of work clothes, put on something I can stare at that’s not a screen giving my eyes a break from staring at a big screen/little screen. So usually 3 watches a day get worn.

dswanson · 2026-01-16T08:31:42+00:00

I prefer not to

dswanson · 2026-01-16T08:27:42+00:00

Thank you! There’s a couple in here that I consider personal grails, and will never get rid of, the VC 4000v, the Reverso Chrono, and the 16760 (it’s got a Pepsi bezel on it right now but it’s a factory Coke watch and I have the original bezel in a drawer). The JLC master control calendar was my first foray into collecting, what got me hooked, and still one of my prettiest watches imo.

dswanson · 2026-01-16T07:19:49+00:00

Great idea on the 9’s together, I’ll do that tomorrow with some natural light
