At first glance the band looked like some odd coloured digital camouflage.That Mario watch looks like about 10 minutes was put into the design.
In general I dislike the pop culture brand x watch brand mashups. Even the Bond edition omegas…for that much money I think I’d just get a normal Omega that looks nicer without the Bond family crest (why even include this?) and faux patina.
I think I prefer the blue 58 or the slate bronze 58 TBH. Either those or the full size Pelagos, which I didn't get the hype for at first but it's grown on me.
Got a new Casio recently, and made a few modifications to it. New leather strap and I removed the words from the bezel with some goo gone. Thought it looked too busy, when it's already busy as hell. Ha

Since the bezel is that light bronze color, I thought brown leather would look good with it. If it were black or silver or something else, a nato would've made way more sense.Nice mod. I've been wanting to swap out the strap for my Casio for a long time but the pins are so close to the case. I'm not sure which NATO to buy for it. Never considered leather.

The bracelet on mine is factory and kinda crappy but it's functional.I have another World Time in my amazon cart that moment. trying to pick a band.
The metal version at least is nicknamed the Casino Royale because it’s similar to Roger Moore’s Seiko TV in Octopussy.I have another World Time in my amazon cart that moment. trying to pick a band.
I like the Pulsar but I think I like the Acutron LED watch more.Speaking of with that funky looking Hamilton Pulsar he wore is available as well
I certainly think that Pulsar would certainly be an attention getter. Yeah that Hamilton Ventura is very cool, that was Elvis’s watch if you didn’t know.I like the Pulsar but I think I like the Acutron LED watch more.
I'm prob going to get a Hamilton Ventura at some point. Really not a fan of their field watches even though everyone goes nuts over them.
Very true on the Ventura, again the history on that to me adds to the mystique.I thought about the Ventura because I’m actually an Elvis fan. It does look odd though, and I think it kind of hinges on what you’re wearing or the social setting you’re in for that one. I would probably buy the Pulsar, but not for $1000.
I like Hamilton. I have an open heart jazz master and I’m really pleased with it.
I didn’t know that, very cool. I have no problem with quartz, especially if that was the og inspiration. Thats one thing holding me back from that Tissot PRX I mentioned, it is based on the Tissot seastar from the 70s which is originally a quartz watch. I wish they made the waffle pattern of that on the quartz, I love the waffle look on a watch, but would love to have something that adheres to the original inspiration (and quartz is $375 vs $650).The nice thing about the Ventura is that the OG model is under a grand. I think it’s $800. And you have to go for the classic version since being a quarts watch was a big selling point at the time and made it iconic.
