I'll take the skins - pm on way

Big yellow (from one hour in the future - haven't been to the alps for a while so have forgotten how to reset the time on this one!)

Looks great - and def right size for your wrist I would say - congrats

The Longines is lovely - and in case of interest jura watches has it for £1250 at the moment, which is a sizeable discount on the normal £1800 rrp...

Plus what I'm actually wearing...

This looks rather nice...

if you are interested in a smiths everest expedition I have one brand new I've decided to let go...

Another option you may want to consider is Boldr - they do some really nice 38mm titanium mechaquartz watches like the venture GMT and the field medic (about £225 I think).

think Ernest Jones may have got the size wrong on that titanium citizen - here's the same watch (I think...) listed at 40mm [https://www.firstclasswatches.co.uk/citizen-promaster-tough-super-titanium-bn0118-04e-p-75544/] lug to lug of 46mm so good for smaller wrists too.

and here's a review of basically the same watch with some useful pics [https://www.fratellowatches.com/hands-on-citizen-promaster-tough-ray-mears/#gref]

Interesting... nice design and good dimensions at 39mm x 45.5mm. But £590 which feels a lot for solar mechaquartz... (tho mechanical would double the cost most likely)

It's a cheapie and I think a slightly different design (from cheapestnatostraps). I had to go to their website to work out to do it as it seemed to be different to 'proper' straps of this nature. But it works well enough. Quite comfy.

new strap

Love that Smiths - good condition too

yes it looks it (esp as it looks like my arm is dropping to the floor under the weight!), but is actually really light - the metal case is a bit like the removable bezel / shroud thing on a normal g shock - below is some sort of carbon resin composite case that weighs next to nothing

Funny you should ask... ;)

(My wrists are relatively slim - the L2L on this is about 47)

thoughts? I keep being drawn to this one... about skx007 sized

@hugo7 I'm selling a casioak if you're interested (£60 - basically unworn with all packaging etc - it's the stealth one)

My timepiece of choice today - i can heartily recommend this padded tropic strap from watchgecko by the way:

.

it's not an actual compass as such (if that's what you mean) - just an internal rotating bezel - you find north (as you can with any three hand watch and the sun) and then use the bezel to set a bearing. Is it a gimmick? I would say no more than a tachymeter or dive bezel for the vast majority of folk (with apologies to those who regularly use a chronograph to calculate average speed over a flat mile course...).

Adding a photo of the grey dial (ignore the now gone everest)...

I do rather like the white / cream ones as well - IMO they work better on a brown leather strap than the darker coloured ones. So depends what your taste is.

TBA - the older green and blue ones didn't have the same anti reflective coating on the crystal as the new ones - I think it results in them looking 'washed out' in quite a few light situations - they only have that amazing deep sunburst look at certain angles and with certain lighting. Obv most photos online show them at their best...

snap

(need to get a isofrane for this I think)

not a fan of bronze, but the 3-6-9 dial is an interesting move.

These look interesting...
