What is this sorcery you speak of?




You put the watch in there and it keeps it wound.

The face is a little busier than I like, personally, but damn that looks good against that black band. 

Reading reviews on it, people highly recommend getting a camel colored band

I think there is some misconception about them though since my BIL calls his Submariner Date a kinetic watch.


Rolex is automatic. Kinetic is movement powering the battery. What did I say? I don't think I botched it.

I'd only wear an automatic or a hand wound movement for starters, but I only wear pilot watches for now. A few divers have caught my eye. I like this guys watches.
Wilson Watch Works
That's the diver (but click through the different offerings on the left), I like the left hander right now. But, I've ordered a watch I'm waiting for. It's a German watch with really subtle details.

I plan on wearing it on all sorts of bands. If you want a rubber band watch I'd pick one from that same brand called a Prodiver. Check out the options all within one watch line.

I decided I needed a diver, so just picked up an Omega Seamaster Professional. Was debating between that and the Oris TT1. My current daily:



I swap the strap with a Di Modell Tan Alligator when I want to wear it more casually.

Thanks.

Actually, I really lucked out on the Ball. Saw it pop up on Amazon Warehouse Deals, was listed in "Used - Very Good Condition" with the only note being "damaged packaging" for $999. Picked it up, and it arrived appearing brand new, with all the protective plastic still on it, and I don't see anything wrong with the packaging at all. From time to time, you can score some great deals on there.

This is another one I'm looking at. I really like how that Ball watch looks and this one has a similar look to it. I'll switch out that band for a brown colored one though.

That's a good looking citizen, and has a pretty awesome price if I recall. Poljot Journey is similar watch which is beautiful, though they run about $500-600 and are tough to find since they're russian.

How terrible would an Orange Monster look/feel on a smaller wrist?

Any of the orange, blue, & black actually?
