Lug width on the Sub (both D and ND) is 20mm. And yes, no problem fitting a NATO on it.

Always thought the sapphire was too sterile.

There's a certain warmth to the hesalite, and the way it reflects light.

Plus there's always toothpaste if need be

You'd be surprised how good the Speedy looks in a brown strap. It's a very versatile watch

You get used to winding it. I struggled when I first got my Speedy as well.

40 winds when first picking it up. 25-30 winds every morning after that if wearing as a daily. Takes less than 10 seconds.

Good choice. Hesalite buddies

Agree that it doesn't feel as large as the 42mm spec suggests, especially when you wear it with a nato.

Here's to more Speedy love; anyone still on the fence, come to the dark side

Every night I tell myself, "Tomorrow I'll wear that other watch."

Every morning I find myself rushing off for work and picking up whatever's on the table that's wound

I reckon it could be due to the profile of the crystal as well.

The SM300 has a more bulbous crystal, while the Speedy's one is flat.

New straps came in just before Xmas.

Happy holidays all

Thanks. Cannot afford to get new watches, so opted to give the existing watches a new look instead

The sample bracelet looks like the one from the Speedy, which should fit your SMP - see the 2254 SMPs.

Not sure about other bracelets, but I don't expect it to be a good fit.

Dressing down for Casual Friday

Go with the one with a wave dial

Mine has dived with me on numerous occasions, and at the end of the dive, while we're all on the water surface waiting for the boat to pick us up, the way the wave dial catches and reflects the sun never fails to leave me in awe.

The scalloped bezel is a PITA to use though...

Seamaster got quite a few different styles within the range - 300, Bond, PO, AT.
All looks different and wears differently. Best you try on your preferred variant in person before deciding.
This is speaking from personal experience - I really like the PO, but my wrists could never carry the look.

My friend was also comparing between the BB58 and PO - he ended up with the PO because he simply couldn't find a shop that stocks the BB58.

I suppose that depends on whether you'll bring your watch into the water with you, and whether you find winding your watch every morning a joy or a chore.

My Bond is my fuss-free piece. Grab it and go anywhere without having to think of potential 'hazards'.

I personally wouldn't daily the moonwatch. I like the sense of occasion in taking it out and giving it a good wind before the day starts.
If I had to do it everyday, it'll probably start to feel a little stale.

In saying that, I use the moonwatch lots for kitchen work.
Sometimes I just wind it up to use the chronograph without setting the time even.

Before all the moonwatches start flooding this thread tomorrow...

No sexy like plexi.

Happy Friday!

Now that's a Christmas tree I can appreciate

Just saw this on WUS - 321 SS moonwatch.

13k CHF ouch.

Finally got a bit of sun today; good start to the weekend
