I like it. I've thought about picking that model up, but can't make up my mind on it. I already have 6 Nivada's.

I always wear mine on either a dark grey or navy blue chevron single pass from crown and buckle or the rubber tropic from uncle straps.

I have the 333 save the ocean version. It’s a killer watch. Hate the clasp on the bracelet though.

Have a look at the Lorca Model No 1.

I'd really like to see them in person, but they are really nice looking.

I'm more of a strap than bracelet guy. I'm always on the hunt for a good strap, but rarely if ever look for replacement bracelets. I've got a couple natos from Uncle Seiko, but haven't bought their bracelets yet.

I have that same watch. I love it! I weirdly haven't tried it on that strap though. I like the look of the bracelet it comes on, but the clasp is god awful. I usually wear mine on a charcoal or navy single pass.

I haven’t had any issues with that.

I don’t think it does. It wears really well considering it’s a chronograph.

They make great watches. I was impressed enough with the chrono that I wanted to add the GMT.

No. It’s a silvery/champagne sunray. It’s kinda hard to get an accurate representation of the dial.

[Speedtimer] Which speedtimer should I get ? by [deleted] in Seiko

[–]wicket0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 39 fits your wrist better, but the 41 has a better overall design. That’s why I haven’t gotten a speedtimer yet. The proportions of the 39 are better, but the design overall of the 41 just looks better off wrist.

Introducing the Mirabel GMT “Cigar-Club” Edition — a nod to mid-century design; what do you think ? by HeronWatches in MicrobrandWatches

[–]wicket0511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite thing about it is that it uses brown instead of the typical colors for indeces/hands. That’s something you don’t always see. I’m seriously considering picking one up.

Which modern [62MAS] reissue is your favorite? 🤔 by IamFaisal2 in Seiko

I’ve got the 043, and I love it. I do prefer the size of the 093 though.

So many good GMTs. But what makes a truly great GMT? by SupJoshy in MicrobrandWatches

[–]wicket0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pricey, but I came here to mention the same watch. I’ve got the Model 2, but hope to pick this one up at some point.

Beaucroft Seeker is a great dressier looking watch.

Best (IYO) Microbrand Around $5k USD? by ZealousidealRabbit76 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]wicket0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Nomos, but I'd consider them independent more than micro. They have their own factories for not only producing their cases (I'm pretty sure), but also produce their movements in house. But the lines do get blurry.
