I don't care what anyone says, that is a good watch. Almost bought another myself.
I really think I may keep this one stock. Or maybe just swap the crystal

Not completely sold on any strap combo I've tried so far. A two-piece leather NATO was the most comfortable, but lacked the oomph the watch calls for. Standards NATOs are reasonably comfortable, but add a little too much bulk. The Goldilocks strap is out there.
That looks great!! Do you know your wrist size? You're making me think I might be able to pull that off someday...

I'll offer you the same I offered @Sussa, if you'd like to try it out I will send you mine to borrow for a while.
I may have to take you up on that offer.

X2 bud. One day you can try on all my watches! Granted I have the bracelet version, so unless your wrist size is about 7 1/8 - 7 1/4 we'd have to deal with links.

Congrats! It's a great watch! And the bracelet is very good.

I got this sbdc061 2 days ago but it came with a discolored bezel insert. And I swiftly changed that out with a yobokies ceramic bezel.

The great blue hole is by far the best looking mm200 (to me).Image

Picked up this Tsovet SMT-FW42 off eBay and it has reminded why I love this hobby.

Sometimes we get caught up chasing our grails, lusting after specific brands and obsessing over movements (or date windows :) ) and all it takes is one good find with clean lines with a solid workhorse inside to give you that same feeling

Yema Superman French Air Force Special Edition in 39mm. Strap was way too short, so I put it on this vintage pilot style.

I'm really anal about keeping my watches as scuff-free as possible, unless they're already scuffed. Once a watch is a bit worn, I don't mind being a little less careful. For obvious reasons I get anxiety wearing my sarb065 OG **** time (or any of my star bars!), so I wanted a beater surrogate. I stumbled upon a srpb77 on etsy randomly for like $200 so I just went for it. New prices on eBay etc are at least $100 more and I'm never fast enough to score one of the really good private sale deals on reddit or WUS so I figured this was as good as its gonna get. Well that was weeks ago and I totally forgot I even ordered the watch. It came today, so it was a nice surprise. Theres no box or extra links but it just happens to be sized just right for me. There are microscratches and swirls on the case and bracelet that are only visible really up close, but the crystal is perfect. I can finally have an anxiety-free **** experience.

Edit - the bracelet really is pretty terrible though and has to go lol. Cheap butterfly clasp, very thin and light/tinny feeling,, hollow end links. Meh. **** belong on a strap. Even a cheap one.
