This calls for celebration with a low-effort vintage-style shot (B&W filter). Have a good weekend everyone!

I don't blame him, it's not an expensive watch to him

I remember seeing some photos of a U1 S E on a frayed canvas strap, I think it kinda added to the ruggedness of the watch and looked more cool than cheap😉 But I believe it also has a leather underlay so no added waterproofness benefit, that black leather is a great looking dress-up option.

Thanks and nice choice of strap! I hear Sinn's new textile straps (launched with the T50) are also pretty decent.

Yes, it wears very well due to the modest lug-to-lug. Looks great on you!

Help me pick a size for the legendary diver!

My wrist size is around 7,5 inches / 19 cm. I think I'm in the tweener zone regarding the U1 and U50. I know it's splitting hairs, but if there was a 42,5 mm version I'd buy that in an instant.

Which pale German automatic chronograph would you pick?

I really love the 910 SRS, it has long been a grail-watch type of deal for me. However, I just found out about the Damasko DC57, and absolutely fell for it too.
