With bracelets i feel that it balances the weight of the case of the watch, with a nato or strap I feel the case of the watch is off balance and you gotta either deal with the offbalanced weight or strap it tighter to the wrist.
But yes, straps look cool.
But also maybe it’s because I have near hairless arms

I have the original silicone strap from my SNZF15J2. I never used it, as I've smaller wrists and was too big for my tastes. If anyone's interested in buying it, let me know!
Wow
Ceramic daytona!!! Tough to source from a dealer!
What is it? $14000?
I was lucky enough to get if from my AD for under retail. Paid about $11,700. Think I had been on the waiting list for roughly 2 years. Honestly can't believe I got one at all considering most places have waiting lists a mile long. Can't stop staring at it.

Picked up my dream watch today. I’ve actually wanted the Seamaster Pro Chrono for years but the looks of the new non chrono Pro caught my eye when they first came out. Went to a local AD today and got a fantastic price on this guy.
Love the throwback wave dial and the ceramic face/bezel really make the watch pop

"Electronic music is human sound adapting to indulge technology, and for some, it feels like the signature sound of energy. New and abstract sounds over hypnotic rhythms can conjure vast soundscapes for escape, pleasure, and transcendence."
I used to have one of those! Loved it! And, it reminded me of back in the day when these were the schizzle amongst us nerdy friends! The display also glowed like the Timex! smile:

I can't stand to wear a watch....when ever someone ask me what time it is?
I always show my empty wrist..and say I guess it time to buy a watch!
I just look at my phone.
I do have a Seiko around here someplace.

I couldn't afford that Timex Indi glow watch when it came out either. I wanted one but never got one.
But I did get some nice watches eventually. 150.00 ea. value or so. I just had the batteries replaced in those first watches I was able to afford. I'll try and get some pics of my modest collection soon. I still wear a couple I got at a yard sale and goodwill too.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
