Careful... It's also quite addictive...

Congrats and wear it in good health!

I like half links. It is easy to get creative, as 2 half links is usually a little larger than 1 full link. So if you cannot get a perfect fit, don't be shy to put the half links together on the same side.

commented on Best website for 21mm straps ·

i will be the first to tell you I am not a strap guy, but on those occasions I have tried doing the strap "thing", I have never really had an issue squeezing a 22mm into a 21mm lug spacing. Perhaps this is a no-no, or it is frowned upon, but if you see a 22mm strap that you like, I would give it a shot.

Just my opinion...

That is a stunning watch! I bet the built quality is off the charts. 

commented on Anybody else set the "wrong" time on their watches? ·

Yep. I will do this.

I will sent my watch 1 minute slow (if watch is running fast) and only adjust it again when it is one minute ahead. Vice versa if the watch is running slow.

My current has be going nearly 2+ months between resets. Quite pleased with that! 😎

What an awesome trio! 

When I started out in all this, nearly 30 years ago, I loved smaller watches. I had a Tag 1500 mid size (36mm), I had a small Tag S/EL (before it was called Link) and my dream watch at the time was the mid-size Omega Seamaster Pro. Fell in love with it after seeing Golden Eye in the theatre. So yes, those product placements work...

But then the internet started and Panerai burst on the scene. That was the end of small watches for me and since then I have owned countless Omegas, as well as watches from 41mm all the way up to 50mm. Including some behemoth Panerais of my own.  

Lately, however, I have been trending downwards. Having owned a Damasko DA42, a Sinn 105GMT and not this Titoni Seascoper, mind you the latter is still a large watch at 42mm. I have a 40mm Zenea diver on the way, which should be here tomorrow. 

Not sure if I could ever go back to under 40mm. At 48, my eyesight may not permit it, but I am much more about comfort, proportions and quality now. Much more than cuff eating monsters. 

Anyway, I rambled on enough. You seem to be doing it right. Enjoy your amazing watches and keep sharing your passion!

I am a bracelet guy. I can never get a strap to fit me properly or feel right.

That said, a bad clasp or cheap bracelet can easily ruin a watch for me. Likewise, a great clasp / bracelet can really make it for me as well.
