Just picked up my first "timepiece."

[daze23]

instant cop if i win the lottery though. i probably won't even wear it

"pardon me sir, do you have the time?"

"uh, I can show you where Venus is..."

all jokes aside it looks like it uses a 24 hour complication. I'm guessing the star is the hours, and the shooting star is the minute hand. not sure though...

Hey fam, don't forget about straps. Sometimes you don't need a whole new watch. IMO they can make or break a nice timepiece.

Got my eye on a Steinhart Super Engineer for my Baby Tuna SRP637:

That's what I'm saying. I put it on and damn near fainted. So subtle yet says alot.

Glad I didn't buy a new piece and instead updated the current pieces. Now, I'm down to 4 "statement" pieces.

Definitely check them out.
I used "only" because at one time I had over 15 watches. Had to whittle them down to 4. My current watches didn't run a breh's pockets either. Ain't going broke for jewelry. I sold the others so a pretty penny was made.

I feel you on this job market tho. Gotta network out in these skreets.

Breh, those Eco-Drives are nothing to play. Had 2 in my lifetime and never had any problems with them. Mad I sold them.

Have my eye on a Seiko SRPA29 (blue, guilloche dial). Used of course.
May change the bracelet if I'm lucky to cop.

I typically buy watches from "grey market" communities like Watchuseek, Timezone, Omega Forums, etc. Yes, they are previously-owned but I research the item and seller to ensure that I don't get "got" and avoid retail prices.

EDIT: purchased the SRPA29. Can't wait.

Thinking of switching the band/ bracelet. What do y'all suggest?
