SRP789K1? I dig the coke bezel, red hand is maybe a bit much for me (the Pepsi one doesn’t have it and I probably prefer that - both cool though). Think the turtles always work better on a strap than the bracelet but it’s a pretty good bracelet for the money. What does the price work out at?

No, that's an SRPA21. Red hand is good. Be warned, bracelet is shit and rattly. I keep wanting to buy a 'nicer' watch, then I look at mine and I'm like... na this is well good.

Its 376 gbp minus twenty percent

Agreed about the bracelet, felt rattly, but a nice watch on the wrist for sure...

Def not the PADI one, doesn’t have the logo. It’s this I think:

The bracelet is rattly for sure but it’s a long way from shit IMO. The solid end links are proper.

Prices of others seem to be same as creation watches..... But no wait or import duty....

Very sorry, right you are. I've had mine on a NATO/rubber strap pretty much permanently since April. Hasn't missed a beat. +2 seconds a day :-)

Less than 300 then. Seems decent. I paid 240 for mine but I think I got pretty lucky.

Yeah strap is the way. I got a pretty accurate repro of the original turtle strap from watch gecko. Made by an Italian company I think. The one whose straps smell of vanilla.

A bunch of Hong Kong strap makers add vanilla flavouring now.

Bonetto Cinturini, that's it. They make this one. It's a perfect recreation, except that ZuluDiver have lasered a crap ZD logo on the buckle. Pretty annoying. If I bought another one I'd try and source it from them directly or something, in the hope that it didn't have that logo.

Friday and off from work. so first..

Anyone got a ladies omega watch box lurking in the back of the wardrobe?

Not willing to pay much at all, it’s for the tiny Omega up-thread as a gift. Strap is 12mm, so watch is about 20mm max across, tiny. Ideally a nice box, but even tatty will suffice.

I was thinking to make something out of leather if original 60’s boxes are too dear.

I bought that same box from eBay. £40 I think.

Still in the honeymoon phase. Haven’t worn another watch since I got it.

Crazy money. I could get a leather hide for that much. May have to.

Getting rained on.
