The 2 piece NATO style leather strap I had on this looked ok, but it rotated on my wrist, so a strap change was in order. Went through all the straps in the drawer, but I kept coming back to this olive strap...

Started off with this

then did a strap change on this, so wore it for and hour

Image

then had to go look at a problem with the parents ring main tripping out- so switched to a work beater

So many watches, yet still so little time!

Very nice Richard.

I'm curious ... apart from the bezel insert and dial colour options, are there any major differences between the Yachtmasters and Subs?

Although similar, they are actually quite different. The case profile of the YM is a softer curve, and (to my mind) more comfortable.

Some explanations here - https://www.watchideas.com/rolex-yacht- ... ubmariner/

^^^ Thanks.
Slimmer case, dial options and the polishing on the YM tips it for me.
Since I do not dive, my preference is for the dressier look.

Really is a fantastic looking watch :thumbup:

Wound Wednesday afternoon and still ticking away, so switched to this for charity fundraising evening with friends.

Light-dialed watches are like buses …

Terrible pics as I didn't have time to snap them properly today before the sky darkened and the heavens opened.

The Maen is the Sweden-based, Dutch siblings' Kickstarter I've been waiting about 6 months for. It's lovely though – perfect 38mm size and retro vibe. The clasp has an unusual groove finish which I didn't expect.

The Rado is also 38mm and a little peach. I can't wait to see it properly in the sun. The case finish is spotless due to the tungsten-carbide composition. More retro vibe and thanks to Pete for the sale – I love it :thumbup:

Both very nice John, but should you decide to sell the Maen, please let me know... :)

I backed it very early on, intending to get a white or possibly a blue dialled one, but when they went with the 42mm size I didn’t know which to back and ended up pulling out before it finished mostly due to being spoiled for choice. I backed it when it was only the 38mm size and should’ve just stuck with that... What can I say? I’m an idiot sometimes....

The white looks great BTW :)
