Congrats on that Breitling Mr Derecola, it's gorgeous. Not sure I should follow the Breitling with a piddly lil Seiko.
But I received my first "real" watch as a gift today for Christmas.
Its a Seiko 5 auto (SRPB91) I saw it, asked the consortium, and they approved. I like the simplicity, and the 4R movement is pretty nice.
I've only ever owned cheap Fossil watches and g shocks. Plus my smart watches. And even though this is nothing crazy or special at a few hundred bucks MSRP, you can still tell the build quality is there. So I can only imagine the quality on a 4-5 figure watch.
I am really digging its simplicity on the outside, yet complex guts.
I need to get the bracelet fitted. But conveniently I had ordered some 22mm bands from Barton for my other aquisition.
A Fossil Hybrid (insert haterade).

Luckily, they arrived a day early, and I'd highly recommend these bands over the clockwork synergy stuff. I decided to try out the Elite Silicone band (with black hardware) and I'm happy with the results. I also snagged a black Nato, and black canvas band.

But anyways, hope you guys will have me in your cool kids club now.
