Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

Very nice toolwatch! :laughing:

I dont think much about that IWC says “tool watch at all IMO.

No lume, very rouncded case, more dressy/vintage dial, rose gold color (I think? Or brass/copper), etc.

It is a VERY striking watch though, Im jealous. Just about everything from IWC looks great and the quality matches from what Ive heard.

Yes I was kidding, definitely not a cheap tool :slight_smile:

Ah gotcha, yeah that’s not the type of watch you wear as a beater for sure! :smiley:

My trusty tool watch … vintage 1980 Sub Mdl. 1680 … I’ve owned this beater for 38 years. My all-time favorite piece of wrist gear.

!!

It sure would be my fav as well weklund :smiley:

New Nato Watch Band for my Casio MDV106-1A. Great quality for $9.95.

Got from Amazon

nice.

aliexpress has natos for as little as 40 cents.

I’ve gotten some for $1, and they are ok for light use.

they also have rubber diver bands, for as little as $1
which is what you see on many old ebay diver watches - chinese generic replacements - the old rubber usually gives up in 10-15 years

That’s a crazy low price! How’s the quality? What I like about Amazon, I ordered it 2 days ago. Got it today. If in the unlikely event where it’s miss delivered to the wrong address, they will replace it or refund your money no questions asked. It happened to me once.

—i’ve gotten about 3 at the $1 price, they are ok, there was one where the holes were just melted into the nylon, which works but is crude
steel parts may rust, can;t tell
i figured for that price i can gamble
some watches i have just to resell or reband for the kids or whatever

some of the bands are good for kids, garish colors and designs

i’ve got about 5 on order now, mostly rubber ones or silicone
under $1
there are also very cheap metal bands
milanese style
forged/folded link style
those can look too cheap if under $3

and of course delivery takes forever

Word of warning on the cheap metal bracelets: not only do they often lack adjustment vs more expensive options, they arent always 316L or whatever the usual steel is and Ive heard of a number of people getting skin irritations from them.

yep - all possible - i’m gambling!

i had one of the cheap rubber ones and it smelled chemical-ish at first

Tutima FX UTC

Weklund WOW! That’s a gorgeous watch!

Thanks. This beauty has served me well for many years. I own the non chrono mdl 631 FX Pilot as well.

Tutima makes a fantastic watch.

Well.
Over the last forever yrs. I’ve owned and worn two watches. First a Seiko Automatic Chronograph divers. Lasted me for around 26 yrs. then I hit with a hammer (accidently)
Got a little loose and rattly after that and very bad at timekeeping (Chuckle)
This one. a Citizen with solar panel face.
had for around 18 yrs. Since the solar came out.
Plus my first ever watch. an Omega Seamaster. Bought in Germany in Army back in 1961. My Dress watch.

Personally. I reckon a good quality “anything” is worth the extra cost.
I’ve always gone that way. and never but once. Had a bad deal.
Bought a new Holden wagon decades ago. Heap of s==t.

Convoy. Astrolux etc. ARE the obvoiously different items.
They give quality with sensible. NOT greedy pricing.
Thank you all.
