22mm? I'll take it if it happens to be 20mm

Yeah 20 mm all yours. Can I tempt you with a new green nubuck strap for your Khaki field special price 😉

Cheers mate, will PM. I think I'll pass on the nubuck though, I'm not a big fan of Hamilton straps tbh :/

Hi any good nato style bands to recommend?

Back in stock, be quick if you're still up for it.

Nick Mankey hook straps are highly rated. I like a bit of elastic rather than just nylon and flat hardware on mine. The watch gecko one I gave away up thread had neither hence

I haven't owned a mechanical watch since the mid 70s, it was a Seiko automatic which was comprehensively minced by a parkie with a tractor mower when on a jumper used as a goalpost.

Fast forward nearly 50 years, I have just ebayed a Tissot PRX automatic which is the absolute image of the annihilated item, but with a different dial colour (even the gridded dial is identical).

Hardly the ratified stuff which fuels this thread, but coming soon to a wrist near you.

Nothing at all wrong with a Tissot PRX auto. highly thought of on here.
Let me know if I can help with a forum price ( we are Tissot stockist)

Noticed the newsreader on itv rocking a prx this evening.

Bugger, wish I had known, mine is second hand (or at least wrist), it will be going back if not immaculate as claimed.

Mite impressed by this, got it cheap on eBay, did not enjoyed the dial of the 36mm solar as it dark grey instead of black and the letter is light grey rather than white.

This feel way nicer than it look, bizarrely aren’t as legible as a black dials.

I wanted to get the Far Cry version but very spenny!

Lovely looking watch. I need a Longines in my life again at some point.

Happy Friday folks!

I do prefer the dial on that to mine but not £200+ more. One one ebay nice strap and decent price

In anticipation of G-Shock Friday; only 2 were bought new, the rest restored from various states of disarray including a couple of DW-5200s. Not pictured - 2 project watches I have on the go

It is the best watch ever made. Robust, reliable and always the right time.

Thank you @Retro_Bastard 👍
