Up for sale or trade is the Praesidus A-11 type 44 in 38mm size. This is a very cool recreation of the A-11 watch, and is in near mint condition. This watch features a soprod manual wind swiss movement, the bonklip bracelet upgrade, drilled lug holes for easy strap changes, and this amazing dial with large acrylic crystal with amazing AR treatment. I took a picture with the sun directly on the dial so you can see how well this AR performs. It's amazing, really.

This is in the modern 38mm…

Most of you are familiar with the microbrand, Borealis. They are a small brand out of Portugal known for making very high quality homage watches, way before San Martin and the other Chinese brands hit the scenes. Many years ago, they released the Sea Dragon as you see here. If you are a fan of Doxa and Seiko, I think this is exactly what you would get if the two brands had a baby!

I have owned this exact watch twice over the last 10yrs, and it is an amazing watch. This example is in 9/10…

The Orient Bambino needs no introduction. This is a 40mm version with black dial. The upgraded strap (seen on watch) is very supple and comfortable. It's a nice upgrade. The watch is in near perfect condition. There are a couple swirls on the polished caseback, but the watch looks basically brand new. In my experience, the watch runs strong and loses a couple seconds a day.

A brand new, never worn out of the house Strapcode Rollball rally bracelet. Change up the look of your Speedtimer!

Fits like a glove, and looks the part. I just decided that I prefer wearing this on a leather strap. My loss is definitely your gain. Currently sized for 7.25in wrist. 3extra links.

It's about $110 on the Strapcode website, here are the details:

Used Casio G-Shock "Full Metal Square" FSO. I have decided that I'm a "G-Shock only at the gym" kind of guy. Therefore I will keep my solar Casioak for the gym and let this one go, as freaking cool of a watch this is. It's really an amazing G-Shock and I can definitely see the allure of them as it feels like a quality timepiece on the wrist with the full SS case and bracelet. Just not for me.
