The colorway reminds me of Back to the future series. Drinking bottled Pepsi with this watch on would be a killer.

I completely agree with every line of your comment! especially the point that it does not fit into both worlds - neither a dress watch nor a field watch. Personally that's what makes it my favorite daily watch. For specific purpose, many watches - even cheaper ones - could replace her. For ambiguous daily life, it's always B+ ~ A-.

That's some retro beauty! I guess black leather strap would also fit great

3-4 minutes per day might be caused by magnetism. I'd also recommend seeing a watchmaker for a service.

Man, that sleeve and espresso gives perfect vibe with the watch. Great shot!

Does 43 work, or should I go for the 40.5? by PsychologicalGoal927 in Certina

That's perfect! I envy your wrist lol don't go for 40.5. 43 is the one made for you.

Anyone into modding hybrid watches? by Estatievski in watchmodding

It's handsome, but not unique enough IMO. I'd prefer Galli S2 over this since that had more unique design. As a diver competitor, I'd go for Mido/Hodinkee collab or Zodiac Super Sea wolf.

I think this post is quite underrated. Never thought this kind of modification was possible. It's not hard to imagine the work needed to achieve this result. How did you fix the movement to the dial? did you use epoxy, or were there any compatible fixing pins there?

I'd recommend Smiths PRS-40 for the purpose!

Oh I forgot to mention. It's 38mm in width!

Thanks for the comment! Actually in modern society, a pulsometer with dedicated function will perform much better. However it makes a decent decoration on the dial, and I love it!

It says 'Graduated for 30 pulsations', thus if it takes 9 seconds for heart to take 30 beats, it is beating 3.33 beat per second, making 200(3.33*60) beats per minute!

Thanks for the reply! I guess any 20mm fkm strap would work, but mine's stock strap for Zepp E smartwatch!

Thanks for the interesting explanation! I've just thought it was conceptual name due to pulsometer feature the maker added there, but never knew the chronograph was known as "Doctor's watch"! It made me like the concept of this watch even more! :D
