Proud father moment

My 3 year old picked out a couple of watches (2 for £10 at the garden centre, bargain) as her Christmas gift from her mother and I, and I'm very happy...

Thank you! And kudos for the spaceviews, definitely don't see enough of them on this platform!

Yea don't think I've ever seen the bracelet for sale on its own. I wear my Alpinist (also 19mm lugs) with 20mm natos and I think it looks ok, but for leather (not a crime especially since I doubt you'll be getting a 20+ year old watch wet!) you'd definitely want 19mm imo!

Thank you, I hope they resurrect the 5100, or a similar central minute chrono, one day!

You don't see these very often, great choice!

I've got an SCVF007 Alpinist, which should have a similar coloured dial to yours, and I wear it on natos for the most part, as the dial colour is quite versatile.

If you're not a fan of natos I think it would look great on rubber and it would allow you to get a few different colours

If you go for a bracelet I think you should go full SS as I think gold tone would clash with the tooliness of the watch (although I realise it would pick out the tone of the hands), which is also why I would go all brushed (i.e. probably just a boring oyster style bracelet), but that's just me!

That pie pan is gorgeous, not easy to find with the original bor bracelet, your grandpa had great taste!

Looks good as well, but the one in your original post definitely takes the cake!

Thank you for the info, and while it makes sense to get an auto version for ease of maintenance, none of the auto ingeneurs I've seen look as good as this!
