Black Bay Burgundy 2023 lug width
New watch, probably done for a while
New watch day, more impressed than I thought I would be

I have last year's burgundy bezel with both the five link and the rubber and it's a great watch. If I was more of a one watch guy I would be all over the monochrome one. I prefer it's looks to a Sub to be honest. But the burgundy fits in a little better in my collection. I think the size and shape of the case is just about perfect.
I was cross shopping the black Bay and the sea master heritage and ended up going black Bay. But after trying both I couldn't justify the substantial price increase of the omega
I'm somewhere between 7.5-7.75 and I wear things from 34-44mm. My next purchase is going to be a 36mm explorer
I used to take 3 or more depending on how long I would be gone. But I have changed to just taking 2. I wear my Tudor 1926 on Artem Sailcloth. I pack a dressier strap for it. I also pack my Scurfa Diver One. I have the Scurfa if I need a beater, but the 1926 can basically do anything and be totally under the radar while doing it.
I've tried Nick Mankey, Watch Steward, and Erika's for elastic straps. The Watch Steward strap lasted about 2 months before the stretch was gone. I really like the Nick Mankey and the fact that it works without the strap under the watch is a plus. They seem well priced for what you get. The downside is they may be too stretchy (at least the originals, I have not tried the newer variation), I can easily take the watch on and off without unfastening it. It also takes a long time to get one because there is a backlog. It's also a little fiddly to use with my FXD. The Erika's is overpriced, but it just works. It's easy to use with my FXD. I haven't had any problems with stretching or fraying in almost daily wear. It is easy to wash and dries quickly when it gets wet. I think I overpaid, but I don't feel ripped off.
