It does to an extent but: it makes the head of the watch seem smaller. The original bracelet is slim and tapers which seems to work better with the watch head. This one makes the large watch seem small, and yet somehow also makes the whole package seem enormous. I think if I had a 7.5” wrist it would be ok but on my 6.7” wrist it’s too much.

commented on GMT SSK 023 or SSK 001 for character ,looks and value ? ·

The SSK001 because it’s its own thing. The other is an homage to the Rolex Explorer 2. Which isn’t bad, but for me I prefer things that are their own design.

Thank you! Apparently this is called a SWICK and it has some vague American military association. I don’t care much about/for that but I do like the colour scheme!

commented on My first watch mod: never again… ·

Totally agree. Needs to be 2mm increments at most I would think. 3 x 2mm would be a good combination of range and resolution

commented on No time for titanium? ·

I felt the same way about titanium watches until I bought a good value Citizen titanium dive watch. Then I got used to having a large light watch. When I tried on the Pelagos FXD, which is a big watch, the lightness was a feature. I also have some heavy steel watches like a Seiko Tuna SBBN049 and 2 other divers. Now it just depends what I’m in the mood for, heavy or light. You should probably buy what you like as second guessing yourself can be a risk.. but if you DO get the titanium, I expect you may come to appreciate the lightness, especially as titanium is increasingly common across all price points and thus less of a novelty or outlier.

Same for me unless I need to do some manual work like gardening on a weekend. Then a G Shock goes on if it wasn’t already there.
