Where are the Sporks? Post your pics!

Thanks. I am surprised that a watch this size does not have a larger lug, e.g. 22 or 24mm. Does the 20mm lug appear balanced with the large 44mm case? Even the Monster has a 22mm lug.

It appears balanced with the bracelet only because the bracelet flairs out after the lug holes to something like 24mm I dont have anything to measure it with but it is clearly visable in all the photos posted in various threads.

I just measured. The 1st link after the end link is appprx 24.5mm wide at the top of the link. The bottom of the first link is apprx 22.1mm. The top of the 2nd link is apprx 21.8mm and the bottom is apprx 20.2mm. From the 3rd link on, the remainder of the links our 20mm.

The wider 1st link is the only reason I've bought several Seiko divers that have 20mm lugs. So though I don't like the smaller lug width, I appreciate how Seiko starts out these bracelets with wider 1st links on the Spork, BFK, Sawtooth, Monster and Caesar.

So if I bought the Spork (love the watch; hate the name), and wanted to put a new strap on it, would I just buy a 20mm size strap? Thanks.

Yes, but many of the pics you see of the Spork on straps is with straps that are wider than 20mm but are notched/cut to 20mm at the lugs to fit the watch. The straps on all my pics, in post#1 of this thread, are 24mm straps that were cut to 20mm at the lugs.

I like the stock bracelet best. You all are tempting me. How many hours per day must one wear it to keep it running? I think I'd be a pain unless it's your only watch, then no issue with that.

I agree, the stock bracelet is the best match for this watch. I do not like watchadoo on it or other 20mm steel bracelet. They do not look right IMO. Question of taste, of course...

Seiko bi-directional winding mechanism is very efficient and I would say that if you wear the watch for about 4 or 5 hours a day (obviously not in the bed while sleeping), you should be ok for a good 24h, but is it really important? All it takes to set the time on a watch is about 2 minutes, if you really take your time and want to synchronize it to the second with an atomic clock, otherwise it takes seconds to set a watch. Are you so busy that you don't have a little 2 minutes of quality time to spare with your watch, a day? Come on.... The watch worth those two minutes, it's no big deal really. I do that almost every single day and I enjoy doing it.

Get it before it gets discontinued!

Wow all these Sporks look great! I really like the look of the Spork and I'm sure I'll add it eventually!

Spork on a bund, crazy? Maybe a bit… but I like!
