Yesterday I came across this video of the SM300. It appears the previous owner either put a LE bracelet on a normal SM300 or had the centre links brushed to match the outher links. I am not a fan of the LE SM300 but I truly hated the polished centre links on the normal one. Do any of you LE owners wear the watch on its bracelet or do you only use the NATO?
About the Seamaster Professional Divers, which do you think looks better and which held up better (cosmetically and mechanically),
the ETA 2531.80 or the Co-Axial 2220.80?

The 2531.80 has the 1120 movement which has proved a very reliable motor. The 2500 Co ax movement is also a solid movement, but extra service costs are expected due to the nature of the Co axial escapement. The 2220.80 looks tad more refine with its applied indices and it's the last version to have a wave dial. Both have and will hold up for years to come and prices are getting very reachable for many. Personally I went for a 2220.80 but wouldn't say no to either.
Although I prefer bracelets on my watches, I just got my crocodile strap. Bang on time for watch porn Wednesday. I think it gives it a Dr NO/FRWL vibe to it. Out of curiosity, was Connery's strap dark brown or black?
Sorry for the mis-aligned bezel, only when I uploaded the pictures did I spot it. X-( , how I hate when that happens...
Also, should I ever get a PO, Titanium or Steel?
37 mm, but the lugs are pretty long and the case is not ultra-flat. The proportions are nice and the watch looks larger than 37 mm, more like 39. The watch is almost 10 mm thick.

Lovely suede strap. Compliments the watch perfectly!
I've just sent him the pic and told him "Look, the new Hermes watch"
I think, that the watch will also look good on Mrs. Higgins.

Thanks, I asked my dealer to swap the ugly Nato strap to that.

Girl: "Oh, just so you know we aren't allowed to have wearables here"
Me: "This is just a regular watch"
Girl: "Yeah, but you cant have anything that's connected to wi-fi"
Me: "It's not it's just a plain ol' watch"
Girl: "Ok, well how does it know what time it is then if it's not connected to the internet?"
I read "Watch porn Wednesday" and misunderstood
