Assuming the strap on the right is Rubber B, I'd go with that. It looks meant in a way the Zealande just doesn't.
No idea about the quality or comfort though.
“Signature” or other weirdly shaped hour hands. The Seiko Alpinist would be a lovely watch if the hour hand didn’t look like a malformed penis. And don’t start me on Mercedes or Sowflakes. Ugh.
Oh, and there’s a special place in hell for whoever thought up the slaved 24-hour subdial.
I posted this (below) on another thread yesterday, but it bears repeating here (well, I think it does) ...
To an extent, it could be said that all watches are "fashion" watches. After all, few of us really need a watch as a tool, we are choosing to wear them as an accessory.
What I do find amusing are the enthusiasts who get all sniffy about brands like Fossil – that largely produce original designs – then seem to greet homage watches with equal distain on the grounds that they are unoriginal.
I do wonder if there isn't just a hint of snobbery that mainstream brands like Fossil are, well, mainstream. And to be a "proper" enthusiast one should eschew such common tastes.
The product isn't designed for us in the first place, which is why I don't waste my breath complaining about it.
Totally agree.
