Fitted the new bracelet today to the Citizen, it's identical to the original and I was even able to use the Citizen clasp. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d96b37be8e.jpg

Thanks for the positive comments about the Panzera gents, I'm pleased with it & it was reasonable value (would have been better value without the import charges however..).
Looks smart Ian, hidden crown?Quote:

Yes the crown tucks nicely into the case. I do need to take the movement out of the case as the crown is loose on the stem, just needs some thread lock to fix the problem but best done with the stem away from the keyless works.
A larger Parnis (Matron). Not crazy about the strap but it was the only one I had that fitted, it came on an ill fitting nato,

Another new arrival today, a Steeldive Tuna
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...881fc05a_o.jpg
you do like green;) although thats not too bad :)
Nature's colour Grant. The Steeldive isn't actually as bright as that, quite subtle in fact. It's a great watch for the money, came with a green rubber strap as well & tools to change the strap & size the bracelet!Quote:

The problem with a good malt is that no matter how good it was to drink, you kind of regret finishing it.!Quote:

On my wrist today is my rather lovely Squale (pronounced ‘scwar-lay’ for the unfamiliar) 1545 Atmos 20 Classic. Gorgeous build quality, superb finish. A snip at 600 notes in my opinion.

A quick Wikipedia of Squale will give you some idea of their long-standing heritage.
Today's arrival something a bit different
