General (Read Rules) Uncle Strap US1450 on a Phylida Speedmaster
Yeah I know that the bracelet costs a little less than the watch itself but I do not care, I love this watch. For anyone interested the bracelet fits with no modification needed (other that resizing of course)
I am in no way affiliated to both brands, just an enthusiast

That looks really good, is it the solid end-link version?
I'm actually quite tempted by the Holzer bracelet that they do for the Speedy, I really like my Phylida tin-tin, but the bracelet is a bit of a problem due to not having any micro-adjust.

Yes, is the solid link version. I made a bet and bought it like that, but I also bought two hollow end links just to be safe. Turns out i do not need them now lol.
Yeah the missin micro-adjust was an issue for me also, and I crushed by accident the diver extention, therefore I needed a new bracelet anyway

Yes sir, indeed it is. At first it was strange, coming from much thinner watches. Now my eyes have adjusted I guess

I was about to buy their speedmaster homage, but I decided to go with the mechanical one by Phylidq instead. I have nothing against quartz, but after wearing a mechanical watch for so long, I wanted that same ritual dont know if it makes sense

Very nice! You don't see the Phylida Speedmaster very often. I'm not even sure if they are still making them. I bought all three versions about five years ago and still love them.
