It’s not possible. But I want it to be.

I really love the “baby” reef from Formex and I think it would absolutely fantastic on a aquanauts strap. It’s not possible based on size and curvatur...

No, not necessarily I like the straight strap of the Reef, mostly the texture and color of the 5168 strap that looks great. It’s been hard to find the right color green in 22mm!

Oh wow, direct access 😂 @Formex at least a green rubber option from the factory would be cool!

I have the 62 panda. It has great feel to it, the bracelet is very nice. I echo what others have said it feels like a way more expensive watch than it is, plus is modeled after my favorite chronograph every the Universal Geneve Compax. Dan is super cool and is happy to chat if you just DM him on Instagram. I’ve had some great talks with him.

Unless you’re diving in salt water with it just wear what looks good on the watch, which in this case is a leather NATO. I’d probably convert that thing to a single pass if it were me leather NATO straps always looked bulky I’ve never pulled the trigger on one.

The insert on the 1675 is sweet! What variation is the watch? Mk1 Long E is my fav 1675, only because I know I’ll never get a gilt chapter ring dial.

Nah I would not say that, just something that caught my eye. There’s a lot of aspects of it that remind me of the Buckley dial but it would take some serious thought to replace the Rolex

commented on The “Camera Body” Dial Review ·

Love the 5226g I fell in love, I’ll likely never have the discretionary funds to obtain one so I went with what I thought was the next best thing with the Habring Erwin pilot. Congrats on having a grail piece!!
