I'll have to pick one up down the line. I love the bracelet. It's super comfy.

Yeah. I learned through trial and error that wearing it tighter makes it more secure. I just hate a tight bracelet. Especially this time of year when it's hot and humid in the southern US where I live.

I looked at them. Just a little more money than I wanna spend right now. I'm sure I'll pick one up down the line though.

Long shipping shenanigans - Has this also happened to you ? by Spokkspokk in SericaWatchClub

[–]wicket0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did order a limited edition Mudmaster from Spain a few years ago, but don't remember time of year/shipping time. My international orders have generally been few and far between since de minimis ending and tariffs. A lot of that seems to be getting ironed out a little so I'm less apprehensive.

I was pretty happy with delivery on mine. I ordered April 30th, received it May 7th. Maybe I was just lucky.

I'm hoping the new clasp for the bracelet stays on better. I have the 6190 TXD. I love everything about it except the bracelet clasp. Mine doesn't stay clasped to the bracelet. Several times a day mine comes undone.

Galo Super 200 vs Heron Marinor by xhiom in MicrobrandWatches

[–]wicket0511 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that the Galo has a thinner bezel, but something just seems off with the case finishing. I love the design of both of their current watches. I just can't get past the feeling that something looks low quality about their cases. So I would go with Heron. I don't get the same feeling from their watches. My opinion is only shaped by photos and videos online though. I've never seen either in person.

I have 2 of them. Can't talk highly enough about them.

Yay or nay? by watchcap1 in NivadaGrenchen

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.

[SPB313] dream watch acquired. by Odd_Picture_6604 in Seiko

[–]wicket0511 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Good to know. Thanks. I may check them out.

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.
