The more you know, thanks for the heads up! The dial is a bit loose, and I think I may be able to tighten it back in place with a bit of research. I will write a follow up post if I decide to do a bit of work on it.

Honestly if its a waffle dial & ceramic bezel combo the specific model or colors don’t matter. That combo just suits the case very well in my opinion. I am not a fan of most of the PADI collabs from Seiko as the image bearing dials mess up too much of the already limited symmetry. And PVD always has me concerned it will scratch deep enough to reveal the metal underneath.

commented on Double Wristing ·

Double wristing is totally fine by me, but neurodivergence may have a part in that. I find two watch-type-things, be they both watches, one analog one smart, or one analog and one chunky bracelet, just feels nice to me. I get that a lot people are concerned about acruing scratches faster and for a more dressy piece or something higher end that makes sense. I can’t argue that wearing two watches will statisticaly increase the rate of new scratches. For me and my money though, it just feels more balanced to have something on both wrists!

commented on What Watches Do You Notice Out In The Wild? ·

Saw a Longines Hyrdroconquest the other day at work, plenty of Rolex at my last job, with the occasional JLC or Grand Seiko. Mostly apple watches though.

Maybe mesh should be my next purchase, could be a good compromise.
