that Santos is hard af. Ya'll nikkas in here ballin with Cardis, Panerais, Breitlings and Rollies. Puttin my Marc Jacobs, Seiko's, & Citizen's to shame

There is nothing wrong with seikos. I actually bought a Seiko sarb033 in April. Seiko stopped making that version couple of years back. It was made for the Japanese market and you can't buy it in the states. I was fortunate to get it for a good price. Nice looking watch classic style with black face that is brown in the sun.

The thing about the watch hobby is you appreciate em all. The movements, the complications, the artistry.
My favorite watch is a Bulova, then my G-shock lol

G Shocks are one of the most dependable watches a person can have! They take a beating and no other watch can come close, in my opinion.

Sometimes, I have to remind myself that there are other facets to horology outside the case and its functions.

With that, I am looking to pick up a bund strap like below:

Think it will pair well with my Steinhart Ocean One Vintage:ohlawd:

Anyone have one?

I don't have one, but I wouldn't put it on a diver watch. I love the look of the Steinhart on the OEM strap or a nato.

So I walked into an AD to put my name down for an Oyster Perpetual 39 Black, and she told me 3-9 month wait. Excessive, but meh.

Then I wanted to look at the Black Bay 58 OG as there's a lot of noise about it in watch circles, Hondinkee, etc. I was aware of the wait list which is about 1-3 months, but then the lady told me they have one that came in the day before and they hadn't even put it out yet. So I tried it and fell in love. and bought it:

I'm still on the list fo the OP39, but I won't get it until 2021 she has informed me. So I have a bit of time to think whether I want to part-exchange my Superocean II or stick with it, as the 39 is THE perfect size for a watch, maybe even 38.
