Latest acquisition (and last for a while, I think, this was an impulse buy!) - My new Tissot PRC 200.

I've taken 3 links out of the bracelet, but it's still a little loose, anyone know if there's any fine adjustment possible?

M.

There is normally fine adjustment on the clasp. If you look at the side there might be 5 small holes. If there is you can move the pin in to tighten.

It's a wrist, it's a watch. Yep looks about right...

Does rather make a mockery of the need to spend thousands on watch, though

That orange thing looks horribly uncomfortable - Is it?

Bought a new camera earlier this week, think my last one was something like 1 or 2 megapixels, so what better way to start off than with a bad watch photo

plenty of play in the wrist so don't even feel it most of the times.
great if you don't want to worry about what if you hit a cage or a wall with your watch.

After a couple of weeks away being overhauled i finally get to wear it again today.

Seiko 6309-7040 on a Seiko z22 rubber strap. its my birth year watch, which took an age to find (im still a couple of months out though!)



i do have a conundrum though, do i put on a mesh strap or not.....

That looks in nice original condition and would look good on either a mesh or an oyster bracelet.

Do I get this right? This thread is to show the latest watches you've bought and/or are wearing?

Here's mine.



As I moan about people who post watches without captioning, it's a Breitling Cosmonaute.

This has been ignored, but it is lovely. One of my all-time top watches.

All about personal choice.

A Daewoo Matiz will get you from A to B perfectly well...

Very true, although a Matiz will still cost you thousands new, not £20..

It does highlight that people rarely buy quality watches to tell the time with.

Thanks for the response about comfort, MigX

Appreciated, but in terms of scale the analogy stands.

Why have a Porsche when a Matiz fulfils the primary need of a motor car, which is that of transport.

Granted. Theres little logic in either

Have to agree, my 40 miles each way to work and back in a Matiz would destroy all my will to live eventually.
But in the Porsche it is an enjoyable journey.

Same with my PO, a joy to wear due to its quality.

I don't know what it is about a bi-metal Rolex... it feels like I shouldn't like them but I just can't help myself...

Same old same old for me, Sinn UX EZM2B GSG9, to give it its full title Currently on a Sinn rubber and deployant combo, will most probably revert back to its black Toshi in a couple of weeks or so.





Crappy 'phone pic.
