I'm wearing my Alpinist with my brand new genuine Seiko SS bracelet ordered through Seiya. I picked up the bracelet from the post office today, went home and put it on and I gotta say, it makes an already stunning watch look even more stunning! Love it!
Here's my boring story about why I'm wearing my skx007 today (though it is actually my favorite watch and gets a bit more than its fair share of wrist time in the rotation).
When I first got my skx007 not that long ago, it was a really cold day. My wrist was probably at its smallest. I took it to a local watch shop, and they sized the bracelet for me. But it was on the last micro-adjustment hole, and I found that when I woke up and put it on (my wrist is biggest in the mornings), it was a little tight. Plus, if I really needed it bigger, like during this summer, I couldn't just micro-adjust it.
So today I took it back and got them to put a link back and move it to the 2nd micro-adjustment hole.
The links in the stock jubilee are 7mm, and the holes are 4.5mm apart.
So I made it 2.5mm bigger.
It turned out a little looser than I expected, but it is still comfortable.
I think the (stock) jubilee bracelet has a nearly magical way of making a slightly loose watch not a bother. It generally stays put, but I can slide it over my wrist bone easily if I want.
Also, if my wrist expands more in the summer, I can use the last micro-adjustment hole to make it bigger if needed.
SKX009 I just got back from my local jeweler after modding with a starburst blue watch face and domed sapphire crystal. I'd put a picture, but not enough posts...quite yet to have permission.
This was my grail that I finally got a while back, but then I was wanting of a second grail and the mm300 got pushed into the background. Recently though I've turned back to the mm300 and am happy I am wearing it again.
SKX cos I was planning to go to the pool this morning. There are other watches for the pool too but it must have felt like a Seiko Sunday. A swim didn't happen in the end and the Pepsi stayed on the wrist all day :-!
Because I wear it pretty much everyday. On the Zulu because I'm heading to the beach, and I'm digging the zulus lately.
