NWA: My First and Only Green Watch

Once you go green you’ll never go back 😉…welcome to the first of many more to come 🥳🥂…

congratulations, that look amazing. btw how much is the strap width?

LOL... hoping they would be long and far in between though. Really struggling to contain my urge to spend on this our crazy addiction uhm... I mean hobby! 🤣

i know me too!! I always find an excuse like… oh it’s my birthday!! oh it’s my daughters graduation!! Oh it’s Thursday !! 😂

Thanks bro! Lug width is 18mm and 46mm L2L. Case is SS finished with bronze PVD coating. 😊

it looks well proportioned in your pict. i have laco aachen 39mm with same 18mm width lug but it looks too small compared to the case. i guess its because type b flieger dial looks too busy haha

Das ist gut! Is the Miyota 821A hacking? 

Very nice dial!! Congrats 🍻

Nice looking watch! I wish I had your restraint. Like you, I got my first green dial and said it would be my only one...I think I have close to a dozen green dial watches in my collection currently. 🤣

Thank you sir! The restraint thing is a work in progress. Hope I would be able to sustain it for a lot longer period 😂

Restraint in collecting is something I struggle with, regardless of what the subject of a particular collection happens to be. The only restraint I have been able to show is to restrict myself to primarily budget and entry level watches. 🤣 I would guesstimate that less than half of the watches in my collection exceed $200 original price.

Congratulations, pare! It finally arrived! Awesome choice. I love its olive green dial. It's subtle, unassuming, not flashy, yet full of allure, depth, and character. Compared to the all too typical Laco black or blue dial.  The strap is equally cool. 😎 Kabayan @Ichibunz is right, when you go green, there's definitely no going back. Heck, I have 3 in my humble and small collection! Hehehe...

One of them is my almost vintage Columbia CL-1312, given to me I think 16 or 17 years ago. Interestingly, it also has an olive green dial, a brass or bronze case (not sure which), and leaf hands. It's so fun to gaze at every time. 

So, I'm definitely sure, with your new Laco Augsburg, you'll also have a similarly satisfying and delightful experience. Cheers bro, and enjoy! 🍻

Idea: Why not we designate a day in a week, or month to be #greendial day? If it's one day in a month, we could designate the 9th, as #9 looks like a "g". Hehe... just thinking out loud. Thoughts?   

Very nice choise. That green is very restrained and not in your face. Like the blue BB58. It looks good on you. I have to add more colors to my collection.

Thanks a lot Pare! I'm pretty sure I indeed am going to enjoy this one. Even the fit and how it sits on the wrist is one of the most comfortable I have experienced so far. I just hope I won't to eager to follow on another green dial anytime soon! 😂

#greendial day would be a great idea! I hope fellow crunchers would subcribe to that campaign. I know I would Bro! 😉

PS. That is likewise a great looking Columbia you have there Bro! 😍

Laco is such a great value - one of the best bangs for the buck out there. Very sharp, indeed.

Congrats again, Pare! 🍻 Indeed, enjoy her for a long, long time. 😉 I'm quite sure the way she fits, the way she hugs comfortably and sits nicely on your wrist, her unassuming #greendial and alluring looks, will all give you real pause before pulling the trigger on a rival. Remember, "jealousy is a green-eyed monster". 😜

As for me, my 3 green dialed watches won't be jealous of each other. Each have different shades of green, and each has a special place in my humble collection. The Columbia 1312 was a gift 16-17 yrs ago, the Seiko #srpb93 is a high school batch commemorative watch, and the #benyar 5185-M is one of the work milestone pieces I got last year. Of course, yours is a different story than mine. So, should you want my humble recomms on your next beautiful green dial piece, just let me know. 🤣😂

Will make a post on #greendial Day (per week or per month) later today or tomorrow. I'm assuming other crunchers with green dialed pieces will be eager to join in on the habit. 😉😎

Please don't tempt me into getting another one this early my friend! I am planning on taking a sabbatical on new acquisitions for now. Jealousy is a monster that can eat you up whole! 😂

Will be waiting for your post on #greendial Day! You can definitely count me in! 😉
