Yep, bracelets are what makes a "daily" for me as well. Hahaha liked that orang utan reference and yes I think uncle Seiko only released bracelets for the FKM relatively recently.

Scouted the shots of your Longines and Nivada Grenchen Super Antarctic - really makes me lust over those!

Yea, I didn't really connect with the watch on its original canvas strap. Was thinking of parting ways with it till I accidentally stumbled upon the bracelet while looking for the president bracelet at uncle Seiko's.

And boy was I glad that I gave this watch a second chance. Really loving the new look and wearability. 💕

Told myself something similar last year - to exercise more restraint in 2024. So I pre-ordered an Astra in Dec'23.

Oh and NWA..
