Another Nodus. Strap from Haveston. Miyota 9075 movement. A lot of watch for the $$$.
Bought used on eBay.

Any love for bronze ?

Western shirt with snaps at the cuff. It's mostly my fault because of my watch but the cuff is the smallest of any IH shirt I have.
Weird cross post/self quote, but since this is more watch related, putting it here. While I didn't change my watch, I did put on a different strap and it solved all of the issues. It's a little bit if a bummer since the isofrane is the best strap anywhere but these MN style straps might be right behind them in a distant second place.

When in Hamburg for the Anny party, September 2023, Swatch released the Fifty Fathoms collection. @Giles and I walked over to the Swatch shop to see if we could get a gander. But, there was a line at least 3 blocks long. Needless to say, we weren't inclined to wait. I've been keeping an eye out for one, though. I managed to nab a new/unworn one for 75% of retail. No waiting in line, either. I went with the Arctic/No Radiations dial version...

A lot harder than I would have expected. The second hand was the rate limiting step.

Can you get thinner cord for the 2nd keeper? It’d look more proportional to the overall watch and strap.

That’s a cool diy fix. Might need Kevlar for extra security.

I’m still saving a spot for one of those @scooter What do you think?
I think it's worthy of a spot.
I'm glad I waited, though...
At first, apart from the dial, the Arctic orange was my least favorite of the original five. Subconsciously, I believe I was viewing it as a Blancpain, and was thinking it should be more conservative. But, it's really just a Swatch, and what's a Swatch without some color ?
I think nabbing one at a discount is the way to be, as well. Considering I have 3 other Sistem51 watches, neither of them costing more than $150, $300 was the price I felt was worth the novelty of it all.
Speaking of novelty, here's the latest one to drop...
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

Work told me I had to go to San Francisco this weekend, so I threw on the ol’ plastic Moonswatch just in case I got mugged. I figured this one wouldn’t be worth me fighting back over. I do love it though.
