Thought this would be easy but not finding what I think may be out there.

Wish Item: 38-40mm dive-ish watch with a rotating marker bezel. Often, I find I'll have to memorize where 20 min. from now is and hope I remember said mark in 20 minutes. :)

Having an easy to rotate wheel to 'arrow' the mark would be excellent. Don't really need killer water resistance 100m is dandy. It would be used as a daily (read: beater) where I own autos mainly, a groovy quartz is not ruled out. No...

Seems like 'adjustable' hats, watch strap makers try and hit the most common wrist sizes to fit as many as possible. Makes sense. But coming back to these cool - tool autos, I'm struggling to find my strap size. I have a 7" wrist and allow a couple mm for slack. 180 minus the lug to lug (47) = 133mm. Adding 20mm for the tail would be somewhere around 155-160. Easy, but...

The 'Standard' strap 125/75 (long/short straps on a two-piece) are 200mm. Those poke 40mm of tail out to deal...

... who approves these things?

Found this offering from Tandorio, a name I'm not familiar with but Italian sounding and shall we say of Eastern origin. Um, Far East. :)

They must have a love for this beauty as they have several dial and strap options. But what's with the capped crown cover? Tire fill cap?

Okay, maybe this handy stem with extra length is for messing with time setting wearing falconer gloves? Have they made a breakthrough for Divers? Rated 5500 fathoms this must be the...

After looking around on the Internet for a non-disposable auto, my feed suddenly populated with interesting international timepieces.

This sneaky Temu ad caught my eye. I realized I'd missed this clearly underrated micro-brand and had admittedly waisted crazy time researching for a proper watch.

This Temu ($33 USD) ticker has it all in an elegant package. The Urban Gentry YouTube bro who brought back Brylcreem should have an entire episode dedicated to this beauty.
