What time is it? Watches and horology

So sick. As soon as I flog my 007 I'm picking up the gold one. So so nice.

Very happy chappy. Thanks @31trum

Mesh looks good but I prefer a starp.

Reminds me of my dad's old sport 100, he's swam with it in every major ocean in the world. Stopped running yonks ago.

It has 22mm lugs, and I have a bunch of NATOs and leather straps in that size, so I'mma be swapping it up like a bad boy.

The Pepsi bezel only comes on rubber, otherwise I'd have bought it on the bracelet. The rubber is something else, though. Supple and soft, with a chunky buckle and signed s/steel keeper.

The bracelet doesn't seem to be available on its own yet, I might pick one up when they are, or put it on mesh for some vintaging.

Awesome, I look forward to seeing how you switch it up.

I only ordered the SKX on the bracelet as I thought it was the type of strap I was least likely to purchase afterwards. If i like the look of it on the jubilee I may purchase I nicer version to wear permanently. Mesh could look really nice though.

Love the domed crystal on that.

Helson looks great on the strap Stonehedge. Always liked the look of the Helsons.

Think all Seikos with a Pepsi-style bezel look great. Any plans to try and revive this? Swap the movement out?

you're very welcome, many thanks again.

Wow, this looks great. If anything were to happen to my skx (which it won't - ever), it'd get replaced with one of those.

The Oyster bracelets look nice imo.

Plenty on eBay.

Much swapping later, I think the green NATO and tan leather look decent.

No plans to repair it yet, I'm only just beginning to learn about watches and was rooting through his collection to see what he had!

@radar green nato looks best imo.

I think this is the best @31trum strap match I have seen.

How do you rate the skindiver? I'm torn between one of those or dial/bezel/hand swapping on a friendly Seiko to get the Blancpain look.

I've owned both a 55 fathoms and a Skindiver.

Skindiver is the nuts. The ceramic bezel and domed sapphire are amazing in the flesh. It is the watch that gets most comments when I wear it. Actually, its the only watch I own that gets comments.

Its more spendy but the Helson wins over a Seiko Blancpain mod every time.

Ya wan suede?

On the subject of Blancpain replicas

Is that a muthafukin enamel Beelzebub?

Sapphire bezel...

The bezel was an eBay cheapy. Have the Pepsi at home somewhere but I like the green, so doubt I will change it anytime soon

Thanks hugo7. I'll check eBay. However, its one of the downfalls of moving to Canada. I used to use it all the time back in the UK but a combination of postage being shit here, the country being so big and the cost of bringing stuff from the US being so high it doesn't make it worth while means that eBay just doesn't work here.

Cool. Get a picture up. I'm curious to see what an SKX looks like without a Black or Pepsi dial.
