Same here!

Just a man with a plan!

Is it available anywhere, brand new to buy?

@@n.rajasekharreddy118 brand new ones are available on some sites, but the prices are certainly higher than what they used to be five years ago.

@islandwatch I just purchased this! I can't wait to see it and put it on. The only reason that particular watch isn't on my wrist a lot more was really because of the strap and then finding other 18mm straps that look good on it has proven to be a challenge. I'm very excited about this one! Sometimes and watch collecting, it's the little things that count!!

He changed a bracelet with a spring bar faster than I can change a quick-release one.

Yeah i either leave the bracelet or stick on a nylon one, good for summer.

Hahaha... no shit. The cheapest one on Ebay right now is a $98 example in excellent condition, from Japan, at $20 shipping. Pre owned. I just got a used Seiko locally for $100. $275 new. Oh... 10yrs old, so it surely needs a service and the shops near me want $200 for a disassembly and oiling. I have watched at least 100 hours of watch repair videos these last three months. I will spend the $200 at Esslinger tools and oils and learn how to do this myself. Still, that bracelet is nice, but yeah, not today.

@@petergreenwald9639you could ask your local shops how much for a movement swap. Should be cheaper even with the new movement. Its a lot less work than disassemble and oil) and if it will accept an NH movement(which are pretty cheap), you get essentially an upgrade and save $

I thought you were talking about the bracelet at first. I was like what the fuck 9 days

Just received mine! The screws holding the links are interesting, the threaded bit is right by the screw head rather than on the end. There's also a swivel section which I assume helps with targeting. Really cool! Less cool is that the first center link has a square edge that juts out when it's on the wrist. That's a little disappointing when Marc's designs are usually incredibly thoughtful but I'll still wear it proudly just because I love the brand so much!

Got it!

Yes you do!

@@islandwatch Same for me. My first automatic. I already purchased my bracelet. Looking forward to receiving it ;)

Just out of curiosity, did this particular brand new bracelet make your wrist dirty? Trying to see if I’m really lucky or if it’s everyone. Thanks.

@@dahak972 no, it's been fine. No residue or anything

True, thank you

thanks!

Although the movement on this one of course doesn't hack or hand wind, there's something really charming about that movement when you're doing the Seiko shuffle and it doesn't take a whole lot and then after a day of wearing it it's basically fully wound. Mine seems to run just as accurately as their next generation of NH 35s

Don't let it stop you, it works fine without that stuff.

You can always swap it for an NH35

I used to not like watches without hacking because I would set my watch to the exact second (ocd) but then I realized that the watch is losing or gaining time each day anyways.

You can adjust time backward to stop or even reverse the second hand. Some call that poor man's hack. For winding you can shake around for a few seconds. These would be nice to have but not necessary.

awesome, thank you.

Of course he will! A man of choice

thank you.

Yup! That was the trick.

Maybe for the SNZG, we shall see.

TBH, I think this one blows away the US Z199 version. US uses hollow links and the clasp is terrible. Heard bad review on that one. This one....however..looks built like a tank. Can't wait to get it.

I didn't know he made one, but I love Larry!

Thank you!

This bracelet does it!

Not sure, let's see how this goes
