That Bulova green Surveyor that I posted about in the heads up thread got me thinking about another Surveyor. Just received a refurbished 98B220 from Amazon for $112.99.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07GDRNCDY

I knew I didn't want the bracelet with the rose gold highlights. So I put it on a B & R brown leather band that I thought would match with the rose gold indices, and it looks fabulous!

Wow, looks like an entirely different watch with the leather band... so much better than the bracelet.

I like it as much as my black dial and white dial/silver indices surveyors. The indices are similar in color to some fresh stripped copper speaker wire I have seen. Just needed the right color strap to highlight that.

RGM added a new coupon tonight and I wanted to try RGX for the first time so I snagged at Navy Blue Seiko Monster SZSC003 from Seiko3s. $347 plus shipping after cash back. For that price I just couldn't pass it up. I can always wear, it, probably beat it up a little, and still get my money back if I wanna flip it.

The Blake model page at Wolf - https://www.wolf1834.com/item/305528/

The Wolf Blake box finally arrived today.
Amazon was supposed to deliver on Sunday, but here we are...

Got to say, for $20 no complaints.
The outer box was a little scuffed up, but the sleeve took most of the "damage." And the watch box was in a cloth bag, so triple protected.

It seems brand new, because the lid wants to stay closed.
Didn't notice this in any of the product shots, but the middle slot has a hole in the back, which I assume is to place a cord to charge a smartwatch. Only thing I could nitpick is there is a lot of space at the top and bottom edge of the slots. But again, $20 for a new Wolf watch box...I'm golden.

Just bought an Amazon warehouse deal for a Bulova Murren 63B176 on leather strap for $236. Description said the manual was missing and the box is damaged, so hopefully the watch is in perfect shape.

My 10 and 5 slot wolf boxes with glass tops also have holes in the back. Just assumed that was their design but never though about the smart watch section.

I was thinking of getting a similar bezel insert for mine, nice one.

In the bracelet, I had actually put mine on a similar one yesterday. Just know that the straight end links will look a tad funky. I think that bit of funk is appropriate for these watches.

Ordered a Dryden DCD-1. The website still accepts the discount code “thanks20” for 20% off, bringing this to $299 with free shipping.
