What watch do you wear?

What band is that? What's the material? I'm mostly a g-shock guy, though I do wear my seiko 5 and my skagen on the weekends but the composite bands kill my wrist at work in the summer, that looks a bit more comfy.

It's the factory band that came with that model. It is a stretchy type of rubber and is very comfortable and not irritating at all.

Great pictures! I appreciate your use of color and contrast.


Thanks man! I have to credit my knife and watch collecting for inspiring me to embrace color. I used to wear mostly black, but with my search for variety in knives and watches my palette has broadened. I still wear mostly black, but now I like to throw a little bold color in from time to time.
 
Usually one of these. I wish the 18k blue sub wasn't so expensive. I do like blue divers though. The squale band is incredible.

I did order me an Apple Watch today to tinker with for work, gym and such. My wife likes hers a bunch and, even though I have shunned them thus far, I admit it has some useful functions.

I've had a Moto 360 for almost two years, and n truth, I rarely wear it. I mainly wear it when I'm downtown at doctor's appointments at the hospital so I can see who's calling without digging into my pocket for my phone. If I remember, I wear it to the gym, easier to change songs etc.

Otherwise it's usually a normal watch. I find myself wearing my white Swatch. After a whole lot of research, I just found out the exact model.

Irony collection, Diaphane family, astyanax model. Weighs about an ounce. Aluminum band, white part is ceramic. It was very limited edition, only available Fall of 2013. Wore it again today. It's so light I don't even remember if it's on. Meanwhile for my brother in law's birthday last year, my parents got him a Bulova Marine Star, and it's like wearing a boat anchor.

 
Huh. I bet we all wish we were as beautiful as these watches!
 
Difficult to get a quality photograph of the dial in sunlight due to the lack of AR coating!

Did you get the Tritium vials refilled? I've got the same watch and my vials aren't as bright as I'd like them after 10+ years.. If so who did you send it to? TIA

It was a long search, but I did find someone to replace them :) The contact info is towards the end of my thread:
Tritium replacement?

As a bonus, I was able to choose my color combo. Also, I had to change the bezel dot myself (Raymond supplied the Tritium capsule, but I had to mill out the old one).
