Globemaster in blue - at least that's what I'm dreaming of. Modest and elegant. And somewhat rare comparing to Seamasters

Any community advise on how to fix the horrible clasp on these? The gap is pretty bad and very visible. The bracelet itself is quite nice.

So I got the watch. Indeed, the ETA on Hodinkee has noticeable spin back. So I guess, that's just the feature of this movement.

Well, the winding is totally inline with my other SW200-1 watches - there is very minimal spin back. However, Hodinkee model has ETA movement, so might feel different. I'll get mine hopefully this week, so will see.

I actually bought this Hodinkee version on Monday - waiting for shipping. Also, I have their lmm-01 Everest model - absolutely adore it!

(The default strap is pretty sh1tty though - it's 20mm, black, which doesn't fit the 19mm lugwidth and just looks wrong. Not sure, why they chose this, as there is no obvious cost saving).

The best tactics indeed. Usually, I do like 10 seconds bid before the end. The bidders in OPs topic are clearly very inexperienced.
