    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    An Uncle Seiko President, which he calls a Lincoln. The quality is up to the mark for a Tudor and I might prefer it to the standard bracelet. Looking for images on Google, I found that it’s a fairly common combination.

    I am. As expected, and if you imagine something like a test gauge, a bracelet does swing the needle into the ‘contemporary’ half of the dial, but that’s also the ‘smarter’ half of the dial. Swings and roundabouts. The benefit of the Uncle Seiko bracelet is that the watch still doesn’t look standard-issue, which I didn’t want with the ubiquitous Black Bay. Nobody sees that but me, but still.

    The faff of swapping the bracelet in and out might well mean that it stays this way. I failed to do it myself, without springbar tweezers. I got it done at a Timpson’s portakabin in Tesco’s car park.

    I've used timpsons for battery replacements before, partly because they offer free ones for life thereafter! Nothing wrong with that.

    Was able to meet @wschofield3 today, he was in town for a trade show. We had fun, and then met a bunch of his buddies for an impromptu watch gathering.
