I didn't really care for the bracelet it came with, so I got it on the blue rubber strap from Omega.
It's o.k. on that strap, but I preferred to find a bracelet that I would like,
that would go well with the watch.
Also, it doesn't feel ...

What are the best ways you've found to wear your SMP300?

I got the Milanese mesh bracelet from Staib with quick-release spring bars…
and often wear it that way.
I also got a white Strapcode curved rubber strap…

I have liked Tudor for awhile now. The Black Bay specifically…several variations of it.
But it has always bothered me why don't they use a ceramic or sapphire bezel insert?
The same color can be achieved and it would make it much more scratch-resistant, so I honestly don't understand why Tudor hasn't switched to a better quality bezel insert for their watches.
It seems that almost all watch brands have upgraded to ceramic bezel inserts: Rolex, Omega, Longines, etc.
If you can…

I really thought that FedEx was o.k. and only DHL was terrible.
Now I see that FedEx sucks too.
In the past, I don't remember it being so comically bad and incompetent.

Here's the story:
The package was supposed to be delivered today.
I got an email with a 4 hour window...so far, so good.

But then they tried to deliver it yesterday with NO warning, which makes no sense,
and just left a note. No knock on the door & wait, no phone call, no email, nothing.

Then today again with NO...

I think it's remarkable, that in my daily life I hardly ever see someone wearing a nice watch. I think I can count on one hand the number of times it has happened in over a year. Just today in an elevator, I saw someone with a nice black Oris Aqui...
