I initially bought it on the steel bracelet, then eventually picked up the OEM rubber strap for it, so in my mind I justified keeping it around because I spent extra on it, but, it's time for it to get a new home, so it's officially up for grabs.

Good day to you all, I hope this mid-September day finds you well 😊

So, lately I've become a bit obsessed with the yellow-gold Francaise of the late 90's/early 2000's (ref. no. W500056), and I would like to get one. My issue is, I'm going to assume that the OEM leather strap on which the watch is equipped, will be ill-fitted for my 8" wrists. I realize that the watch is relatively "small" in nature and many might object to someone with wrists as large as mine wearing this type of watch…

Hi everyone!

Up for sale is my Seiko Prospex Speedtimer SSC813, commonly referred to as the "Seitona", due to the fact that it's a "Panda" chronograph. It's a stunning solar chronograph, and I've very much enjoyed it the last 2 years I've had it, but I recently added another Seiko to my collection, and since I already have other "panda daytona-ish" models within my collection, I figure it's best to let this one go to another WIS'er looking to get their hands on this reference. Watch is…

I like it, it has the brown dial I was hunting for, but I think I'd rather find something that isn't two-tone, and I already know this will likely not get all that much wrist time, so I'm sending it off.

Hi all. Up for sale is a Tuns Leather Ostrich leather strap that I acquired as an extra strap with a watch I bought a while back. Beautiful rich brown color (I'm guessing this is their "tobacco brown" judging by their website), and very high quality craftsmanship, but unfortunately, it's a bit too small for my wrists, at a length of 115/70mm, so I'm putting it up for sale on here.

Lug width of 19mm, and it looks to have a taper down to 16mm at the buckle…

I'm putting up for sale a literal brand-new Longines Conquest in a beautiful chocolate (brown) dial, it's the 41mm version, reference no. L3.830.4.62.6. When I say "brand-new", I literally mean I just purchased this watch, over this past weekend. I've had an itch for a watch with a nice chocolate dial for quite some time now, and my local Longines AD had a "Summer Watch Event" this past weekend, so I figured I might as well...
