What time is it? Watches and horology

A DW-5600 is such a great tool watch. Does everything, goes anywhere. That and a Speedmaster is a great two watch collection, no doubt.

Finally time for me to do the right thing by this and get it on a jubilee and... I like it. Must be getting old.

I like it.

You’re certainly not alone. Fantastic looking thing.

Keep coming back to this

It is the natural order of things.

Back on this. Best first automatic watch to buy.

Defiantly recommend to anybody getting into this crazy Horology thing.

I’m catching up after a few weeks off. Love this.

You said it. 10/10

That is really lovely.

I bought some straps to try out on the Longines, not that I don't like the stock one, I'm just a magpie. I got a perlon, nato, suede and shark leather one and tbh I think they all look good apart from maybe the perlon which sits a bit weird with the long lugs.

What the others look like?

NM... You're uploading them

Quirk of the upload system, I can only do one at a time and each needs to be selected twice.

I like the nato the most I think.

i think the perlon looks best personally

Nato for me but I think that's because of the colour match to the dial markers.

Might be worth considering an Erika's in the same colour... definitely more comfortable.

That nato

I did consider an erika but the one on my Seiko 5 annoys me with how elastic it is.

NATO if it was me wearing it.

The perlon is nice but my favourite would be the suede, in a classy understatement way.

Suede for me too

I can’t remember if it was here that someone was after one of the last Bond Seamaster.
I have a friend who is looking to unload this

the perlon which sits a bit weird with the long lugs.

I really liked wearing a 2 piece perlon on my skx013. It was a bit top heavy, but looks wize it was spot on.

@leggy_blonde thanks dude, I love it too (but then i suppose i would). I'm supposed to be selling it and consolidating down to just two watches (one of which is a wedding present, otherwise that would be the one for the reluctant chop), but I haven't been able to bring myself to send it away!

@no_mates mines an m series which i think puts it 2010 - i think they stopped making them in 2013? Strap is actually a Panerai OEM but I don't know what it's called! I got the watch serviced after I bought it and they were late in returning it to me, so they let me pick a strap for free when i was picking it up in the boutique. I'm pretty sure it's the Calf Assolutamente but don't hold me to it - https://www.panerai.com/gb/en/accessories/straps-and-bracelets/mx006zbz.html

Suede or the OG mesh for me.

Leather or mesh are the best for me, but all look good tbh
