I'm going to Paris for a few days in a few days. I'm gonna fondle as many watches as I can. Thank you Trump for sending the euro into the shitter. | |||

Yep! Euro is now worth $1.08 USD! Buy your stuff now! Thank you Italy! RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

What's the consensus on Orient watches? If I'm correct, a brief bit of research indicates they're owned by Seiko, have Japanese movements, and are of decent value for the money. I'd like to add a blue dial watch to my very modest collection, and this one in particular has caught my eye...a King Master:  Also looking at this one, though progressively less so than the King Master...less classic and retro than the above, a more modern, rugged look:  Usually I default to Seiko (love my Orange Monster and Sarb 017 Alpinist, and plan to pick up a SARB 033 in the next year or two), but for the blue dial watch I thought I'd try something different and Orient's watches continue to catch my eye when I browse on-line. | |||

I have had some Orient watches in the past. They were fine. I'm not crazy about their current styling, but I thought the band-for-the-buck factor was good. Good Luck, RMD TL Davis: “The Second Amendment is special, not because it protects guns, but because its violation signals a government with the intention to oppress its people…” Remember: After the first one, the rest are free. | |||

Flipping through the Design issue of WatchTime last night and came across the new offering from Citizen. I'm not a huge fan of the Eco-Drive line, but this one is fascinating at <3mm as a design challenge. Wonder if David has gotten his hands on one as a dealer for the brand?  You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

More on the Citizen ultra thin watch is in the link. They are quartz watches. The one shown is a carbide composite and is $6K. In steel, they will be $2.6K. But the thinnest mechanical watch, a Piaget Altiplano 900P, at a whopping 3.65mm thick, is $26K, so the Citizen is a bargain. https://www.hodinkee.com/artic...ne-mm-thick-movement The fish is mute, expressionless.

batpot, thanks for the link. Nothing quite caught my eye, but some undeniably attractive watches there. The more I think about and look at that above blue King Master, the closer I get to pulling the trigger on one. A little more research on it indicates it's a copy of an Orient watch from the '60s (with only a few minor modern changes, e.g. width of hands, font of numbers), hence that classic retro look that I find pretty appealing. | |||

Rats! I broke the leather band on my Hamilton. Hamilton wants $140 for a new one, and something like $200 for the metal bracelet.  Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around. — — — — — — — — — — — — God bless America. | |||

Watch Prince, Amazon. Too many places have watch straps available to pay those prices.

http://www.crownandbuckle.com/ Many choices above. For $140, you can get one custom made by a leatherworker. Don't pay that for a factory strap. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

I've also gotten NATOs from www.cheapestnatostraps.com and they have some nice looking leather straps, as well. There ain't much difference in the man I want to be and the man that I really am. | |||

For sure. I'm thinking of contacting our own sureshot45 about repairing/replacing this broken leather strap. I'd still like to have the metal bracelet, though. I'm partial to metal for its durability -- doesn't absorb sweat, grime, lake water, etc. For me, it's tough to make a watch with a leather or fabric band my "everyday" watch. Thank you for the references, though. I'm going to check those out shortly.
