Pairs Well With: Seagull 1963
Special thanks to?Z. D. Smith for putting together this edition of Pairs Well WithWhat makes the Seagull such an effective and pleasant watch is its understatement; it has got both military styling and a high-quality mechanical movement, but the details are subtle and neither the functionality nor the worksmanship jump out at you. In other words, it’s got a little class. At the same time, it’s a rugged, unpretentious watch and with its throwback looks and olive NATO band, it goes best with an outfit that communicates comfort and ruggedness. So the theme of the day is a union of understated, high quality with military and/or throwback styling.Seagull 1963Sunny Sports “1940’s Railroad” Organic Cotton Japanese Selvedge Chambray Work Shirt in Sumi ?Sunny Sports is at the very high end of Japanese heritage workwear.

My First Royal Oak
Hi guys,I want to take the plunge into AP, and think the original RO series is where I want to go. Im not sure on which one to get though and here is whyI like the 15400 and 26320 but I have small wrists...I am after a chronograph really but not 100% a deal breaker.I like PM, however I cant afford the PM bracelet and for me the bracelet is the best part of the RO, well one of So what should I do guys? Im swaying toward the 26320 blue dial... just concerned about the size on my wrist.Thanks

Size matters!
I know that a lot of people don't get Panerai. The company has taken some self-inflicted flak through the odd marketing faux-pas and a sometimes crazy pricing strategy, and I've heard a few people write the brand off on the basis that <em>all</em> of their models are ugly. Well, I'm no fanboy (hmmm... maybe I am, just a little) but I do think I've been very fortunate to have owned the much vaunted Luminor 233, and to still possess its equally sublime Radiomir cousin, the 268. These watches are wonderful, both in terms of the majesty of the three-barrelled, 8 day in-house movements and the very obvious build quality. What I've learned, though, is that for my relatively slim wrists the Radiomir range gives me a more comfortable fit.The 268 is a 45mm watch, and whilst this is mitigated by the Radiomir lug design its still a relatively hefty beast. This, and some of the recent threads I've read over on TZ-UK regarding the smaller 42mm designs, prompted me to think seriously abo

Birth Date Watches
I am also a member of the Omega Forum and on there the members seem to like to collect watches from their year of birth.Do Rolex members do the same or is it a general watch thing. Any opinions or comments please, but not too nasty.
