Very nice. I'm thinking about getting the Shellback, should be again in preorder later this year.

I have a Swedish watch - the E.C.Andersson Calypso Sport. This came out a few years before any brand started doing steel sport watches with integrated bracelets.

Personally, I like it but not enough to feel the urge to back it.

But looks like a promising new brand, it will be interesting to see what models they will develop in the future.

Sales posts containing sentences like "I don't wear it enough, it deserves a better owner, sadly I have to let it go..."

Also, using pronouns meant for persons to refer to a watch (or any object) instead of "it".

Well, the goofy panda keeps the quirky design but the black/white color scheme makes it much more discrete. The desert sky (blue/cream) is somewhere in between.

Glad to bring back nice memories 😀 Mine is quite newer, I bought it in 2017, I was starting browsing watch forums and it was recommended everywhere as a "must have", at the same time rumors had started spreading about Seiko ceasing production... luckily it was still very cheap to get one. I took it to the sea, but just about 20cm deep 😂 looking forward to spend the next 26 years with it!

Thanks. Yes, it wears great. Longines is known for long lugs. I was already convinced to buy the 40mm, then the 37 came out... better integration of the date at 6 clock, classic understated proportions, bracelet with quick release that wasn't available for the standard edition of the 40, basically everything I wanted.

Non-functional stuff drives me crazy. For me this is on par with lume on the indices but not on the hands, or chronograph subcounters without markings.
