The Watch Thread - Part 14

[cyrenic]

Looks like this is coming from Zelos.. And the first time in my life I'm mildy interested in the skeleton piece..

But my watch box is full..

I had the strapcode Oyster but ultimately sold it away. Just doesn't look right haha. I ended up with a replica bracelet lol

You prefer a replica over Strapcode? That shows the quality of the Strapcode bracelet!

 

[slow_mo]

Have been researching Strapcode bracelets as well

Would you happen to know which one most closely resembles the stock BB bracelet?

I have no idea...

I have to be clear bro, the quality of the strapcode was absolute value for money. Have another on my SKX. But the huge fat oversized clasp just didn't look right with the BB haha

If it tapers to 18 mm it should be ok, no?

Less of the width, but more of the height also. It's super thick haha. It just isn't a good fit with the beautiful oyster links.

I’m ok with their bracelet... but somehow I don’t like their clasp too.

Hmm you know what, that actually looks quite good to me!! I did some Googling, it should be this bracelet, right? https://www.strapcode.com/store/22mm-super-oyster-316l-stainless-steel-watch-bracelet-tudor-black-button-chamfer-clasp-brushed-p-5023.html#.Wx_dQqARV-E

It's a good quality bracelet no doubt! I'm just being nitpicky clasp is just abit fiddly though, and on my SKX when closing the flip lock it'll 10/10 times "pinch" my skin lol

Been lusting over an Explorer 1 for a very long time now and managed to snag one at an unbelievably pristine condition. I literally can’t find a single scratch on case (unpolished) and bracelet. Running at +1s/day as well. It’s like a new watch.

I can easily say it’s my best purchase yet. Even with just one day of wearing it I think I already prefer it to my 16600 SD. Definitely a keeper. And 36mm is the way to go for an Explorer, especially with the long, thin and tapered lugs. Proportions are perfect.

Full set with box? Whats the dmg bro? Really nice

AlpinerX
