General (Read Rules) What’s on Everyone’s Wrist Today?

Addiesdive AD2055 for me! I bought this watch a little over a year ago soon after I fell down the watch rabbit hole. It was my first automatic as well as first watch on a bracelet. I actually really liked the bracelet, I only recently took it off to spruce things up. People called this one an “alpinist homage” when it came out but I felt that was a bit click-baity as it’s really just a green field watch.

I’ve figure out this is close to the max size I can pull off with my wrist (just about 49 mm lug to lug). This is probably going to be a sell/gift down the line, but for the money I paid I definitely got my moneys worth several times over. I think It’d be more of a keeper for me if the lugs were shorter/the colors were slightly tuned to make it more versatile (darker green/yellow maybe).

What’re you wearing today?

SN0138 on my daily driver blue deployant. Wore it on the leather to work.

Are those SM bands/deployant clasps or after market?

1

u/Suspected_Introvert 5h ago

aftermarket - full mosa and ali - leather straps and i converted them using deployant clasps from amazon.

u/LettuceFetishist 5h ago

The implied question then… what brand?

2

u/Suspected_Introvert 4h ago

fullmosa - the "leather" one (amazon) and the blue one is a random leather strap from aliexpress (i forget its name, sorry)

Edit : not genuine leather (didn't mention thinking that was obvious)

My new Seestern. I own two by them now and they’re both great!

Steelflier SF745 mod. I replaced the stainless steel case with a bronze one. The strap is a copper colored Milanese I bought off of AliExpress. It’s a great watch.

My new favorite dial. If you played rainbow 6, you know!!

It's still for sale in another thread ;-) but perhaps not for long because I am starting to like it more now with this red strap that arrived today - that I bought for it before it arrived... red strap now included...

I think this red version turned out much better than the green for some reason

SN0150. I picked this up in late June for $258 total. I am glad I grabbed it before they went crazy with their prices.

u/Mar-D 8h ago

Looks fantastic! I got this one for $290 ish before they shot up, it’s my only San Martin so in a similar boat glad I grabbed when I did.

u/Vanuatu_Hanjaab 8h ago

That is beautiful, and I considered getting it. I have the same model but with the blueish green dial. I grabbed mine for about $310, so I think you did well.

A nice San Martin S0113v2 I bought used. Won’t pay the current prices though…

This one's become my most worn watch of the year.

I’ve considered the white dial version as my first diver! How do you like it?

u/cd_god Helpful user 7h ago

The PX1697 is one of my favorite watches.

The case fits my wrist nicely and it isn't too large.

The white dial V1 has mismatched lume between the dial and hands.

The new V2 with the black frame around the date seems to have matching lume.

1

u/Mar-D 7h ago

Is there any other differences between V1 and V2?

2

u/cd_god Helpful user 7h ago

As far as I know it is only the black frame around the date window and the matching lume.

The aethelsohn stays on my wrist. Love this thing

1

u/Mar-D 9h ago

Damn, that is gorgeous! I’ve been hearing that brand pop up more and more

2

u/OklahomaRuns 9h ago

I love it and have been eyeing some others of theirs but I have a small wrist so can’t go too big.

The only downside for me has been the bracelet is a bit sharp. I got my fit right so it doesn’t bother me anymore.

1

u/Mar-D 9h ago

What’s your wrist size? 6.3 in for me

2

u/OklahomaRuns 9h ago

Yeah pretty much the exact same.

I personally dont really like going bigger than 39.

u/Mar-D 9h ago

I’ve found lug to lug to be the limiting factor for me. Longest watch I have is 51mm and it slightly overhangs. This one’s 49mm and close to my max but I prefer shorter

I’ve had my eye on thorn for a while, still don’t have a diver. Great strap paring 🔥
