    i thought it was kind of tasteful because the white dial is obviously not associated with, nor will it be confused with the sub

    Love it.

    Definitive power rankings:
    1. original bracelet
    2. OEM NATO
    3. Not wearing it at all
    4. “Soft touch” leather band

    Yeah, their leather strap kinda sucks. NATO will likely remain, change the look of the BB58 & make room for another steel diver

    Is that a hyped watch? It looks like a gshock? I don't know enough about watches to be a hypebeast in this field.

    Those were $100. Is that considered a hypebeast watch? I'm not a fan of the AP Royal Oak. I like these better honestly lol. I think its the band I don't like. I like some of the Offshore.

    Silver needs to be on some kind of bracelet.

    The blue is fine as-is.

    Seems legit but you also can’t be 100% without having it in your hand.

    Very similar in many ways to my OP Date 15200.

    I would ask if you’re sure you want a 34mm watch?

    I have a Citizen that’s 34 on a 19mm band, wears like a field watch. This is just going to be a daily for me to enjoy and out some different bands on until I can get my OP41. Scratching the itch, so to speak.

    Mentioned it to slogan119 over the weekend… gonna start “week on the wrist” rotation. Goal is to bring some pieces that are often forgotten back into use. Up 1st, is engagement gift, from the wife: Hamilton Khaki Officer, on Filson leather strap. This piece is incredibly comfortable & wearable, despite pushing the limits of my 6.5” wrist.

    Na man. No reviews. Just want to wear all my watches more & forcing the issue. Prior to today, the Hamilton has been on my wrist maybe 2-3 times in the last year. That’s shitty.

    Figured it might be something others here joined in on & drive more activity… plus I don’t know what a lot of people here actually have/wear & interested to see.

    there are worse ways to build AD spend history. Never been much of a two-tone guy, but I much preferred this to the 36mm two tone DJ.
