What watch do you wear?

[Zeta33]

Seventy year old Omega delivered to the U.S. Army in 1945. Case reference 2179 with 30T2SC 16 jewel movement from Omega's excellent 30mm family of handwind movements.

Your collection, and individual pieces are just stunning, man. Thanks for sharing.

For those times when you want to maintain a low profile...

I'm gonna try a 5 ring zulu strap on my Deepsea.

I'm not a fan of the 5 ring straps...one layer of material is enough under the watch head for me.

Is it just me or are all those straps on upside-down?

Yes, the convention is for the buckle to from 12 o'clock and the tail to be from 6 o'clock.

I do wear them 'backwards'. I find that with the tail on the inside that the loops don't snag on objects as often.

I'm confused. Are you saying that the watch itself is upside down when you read it, OR the watch reads in the usual manner, but the strap is 'backwards" and you've developed the dexterity to fasten the buckle when worn this way?
(I just tried to buckle my watch backwards. I succeeded but it took some time to do it.)

The watch head is in the normal orientation and the strap is 'backwards'. I find it quite easy to buckle, I just hold the tail against my chest during the process.

Thanks for the explanation! I'm glad its just the strap that's backwards, because an upside down watch just seemed crazy.

I prefer Nato over Zulu myself.
But lately I've been enjoying Sharkmesh:

I may as well throw in a shot of my 1973 Rolex 5513 - original James Bond watch.
This was my fathers daily wear watch. I had it restored from extreme water damage by Rolex NY for my 30th birthday.
I seem to have lost my luminous pip though.
