My latest batch of straps have arrived! Love putting a new strap on and making the watch feels like new again. :s13::D

Here's some poison for VW, hahaha. :D

In other news, my Nomos will be delivered tonight after going round the globe on the FedEx cargo plane! Will post some pics later! Thinking of hooting the baby tuna SRP453 next....the poison never ends!!! :eek:

So many choices! Where did you get them from and for how much?

Interesting, seldom see appreciation for Patek and Casio in the same pic.

And I would classify any Patek as dressy :)

I would love the DSSD as a sports watch but for now the King G shock really does it all. Durable, light, weather proof, reliable, wrist presence..... really cannot find any fault with it. Definitely will consider the DSSD at the end of the year.

For me, dress watches must come with leather strap. Hence the nautilus is out. It's neither THAT dressy nor THAT sporty, so casual is probably the best way I'd describe it.

Dress watch wise, honestly I still haven't found THE ONE. Between the steel santos100 I have at home and this bambino..... the latter looks more dressy.

PP Calatrava for you? The latest one looks really nice. ;)

perhaps for a balanced view we should also list out the areas of improvement about the bambino.

1) rotor can be loud for some people
2) the colour of the strap - I don't like the black strap on the white+RG/YG. wouldn't brown be nicer?
3) worry about the dome crystal getting knocks - is it sturdy enough?
