Yep.
-- Mid Swiss Quartz Pilot Watch - Central Second by Maratac™.
Shitty name for the model, so I renamed it. *B-Uhr'ish **Quattro-Quartzo For $145, I'm willing to name my own watch. Cool little weekend beater.

*B-Uhr'ish is so called (by me) because my first Maratac was called (by me) my MIH'ish because is somewhat sorta kinda reminded me of the MIH watch, which I adore, and will someday have, and then will someday subsequent to that sell, because it is too big for my little wrists. But the Mid-Sized SR-3 fit me great, as does this smaller of that whatever they call this model. -- You know it was cheap if you didn't even learn or care what it's called, and you bought it anyway.

**Quattro-Quartzo is so called (by me) because it beats 4 times a second. and when the battery gets low, it beats once every 4 seconds to indicate that a new battery is required. That my friends, is some tactiCool stuff right there! :-)

I feel almost compelled not to like jeweled watches, but the Rolexes with just a jewel on the hour markers are well done.

I am not trying to be snarky, but gems are a bit much for my taste. But Rolex can pull off the more restrained examples.

Now, gems all around the bezel or more . . .

Where did you find that one? What's the model number? (I like!)

I put a stainless bracelet on the Timex I got from rduckwor!
I ordered it from Timex, it took 2 weeks but it came today!
I prefer a bracelet over a strap. I like the movement of the watch on my wrist.

I can relate. I usually do not like jeweled timepieces, either. This one, however, is a big exception. It looks so much better in person. The diamond markers appear to be nothing more than metallic bubbles or batons at first glance. It's only when you really take a look at the dial that you notice there's a bit too much reflected light for the markers to be metal. Otherwise, being a 36mm watch, it's very understated. I would have never thought that I would have liked a diamond dial watch, but I love this one.

You and me both. A leather strap has its uses, but only for the most svelte of watches.

It's model SNXA11K. I wanted a copper colored watch, Googled it, and found it in Seiko. I ended up buying it on EBay from a seller with over 13,000 sales with a 99.7 feedback, so I felt safe going for it. It was an amazing low price, and I love it, it is very attractive, far better than the pic shows. I'm very pleased with the seller and transaction. I've had compliments all day on it.

I like. I have seen other who put bracelets on without fitted end links. They look like crap. Yours looks great!

Well done! The one I'm closest to liking is SRP241, only available from an Amazon seller with only 388 reviews. Tried calling the business today and he didn't answer the phone.

Not bad for a $14 Timex bracelet!
It's all solid too and not folded!
