First time ever using a stainless steel pan and I thought I'd pan fry some skin-on sea bass fillets and baste them in some thyme and butter. Worked perfectly with zero stickage!

I'd been using non-stick and cast iron for years and recently I decided to ditch the non-stick and I needed something else cause using cast iron daily was just impractical for me. Bought a 10-inch Tramontina stainless steel pan the other day and I'm super happy with how my first time using it went!

Pre-heated the pan for a few minutes, set the electric burner to about 4-5 (mine goes up to 12), added a bit of oil, waited for the oil to heat up for a second, and threw in the fish. Didn't touch them while the skin seared and they just naturally released on their own. Threw in a sprig of thyme and a small knob of butter and basted them for like 20 seconds then turned off the heat and voilà. Don't know why I was so intimidated before buying one of these to be honest

Put my SSC939 on a Japanese fine canvas watch strap from RSM Watch Straps and I just love how it looks. I changed the buckle to this deployant one one like with most other leather or canvas straps I own just to reduce wear and tear.

This particular strap is their Brunswick Green (which is pretty much grey with a slight hint of a greenish hue) which ended up matching the dial of this watch perfectly.

Another day, another opportunity to swap out straps on what might just be my favourite microbrand watch (that I own, at least). I've talked a bunch about what makes this watch the one I reach for the most but I just can't get over the dial design (bonus points for perfect case size for my wrist). I've had this for a few months ever since they introduced the automatic movement with the display caseback and it's been running amazingly well, no complaints whatsoever.

Put it on a pine khaki Japanese fine canvas watch strap from RSM Watch Straps and it looks fantastic. Sidenote: the strap is probably THE best canvas strap I've ever worn. It's woven tightly and starched and has a really nice texture to it, and has a zermatt leather backing. A bit pricey as far as straps go perhaps, but worth it imo.

Idk what flair to use cause the "my watch" one is also used by people who design their own watches and whatnot, so whatever

So, I have the 40mm Vesterhav Aquila, the blue one. And it's really cool and I love it. I just don't wear it as often as I'd like to be honest. I've been eyeing this Halo White model for a while now, and the fact that it's 38mm (my Aquila is 40mm) is actually even better for a daily watch, as it's the perfect size for my 7-inch wrist. So, I was thinking of selling the Aquila to pick up this one (I don't like having two of the same watch model tbh, and Vesterhav is my fav HA model).

My question is, if anybody has it can y'all share your experience with it and maybe share some pictures of it too? I've only really seen it on the website and I'd like to see it out in the wild so to speak. Thanks!

Went to M&S to pick up a couple of things today and while I was walking around I stumbled across this! Of course I had to get it as well.

We're almost in the middle of June and it just can't stop raining here in the UK it's ridiculous. Never really wore a watch while out running but since getting this, it's been a daily wear and I couldn't be happier!

Got the GA-2100BCE-1AER recently and, while I love it, the steel keepers don't do a great job at holding the Cordura strap in place. So I thought of buying some aftermarket keepers to see if that fixes the issue but I couldn't find the ones I wanted. Obviously I don't want leather, and silicone or rubber ones wouldn't work that well with the strap. So I wanted to find anything from canvas, sailcloth, or nylon.

Ended up finding exactly what I wanted. Cordura keepers from Hawkrigger here in the UK for like £3 or something. They have two sizes available 20mm and 22mm. Obviously I went with the 20mm one for this strap, and it fits like a glove! The tail is held firmly in place, doesn't wiggle around, and looks fantastic. Also. The fact that both the keeper and the strap are Cordura and have the same weave tightness (idk how else to describe it) makes the two match visually really well.

Highly recommend picking one of these up if you have the Cordura Casioak it's honestly a game changer.

Was thinking of picking one of these JDMs up instead of the regular M5610u ones for no other reason than I prefer the look of the blue line and the slight tint of the screen.

I've heard a few people ended up changing their mind on this because of the display being inferior to the regular red line M5610u. My question is, how much worse is it really? Is the visibility "issue" (idk if I should even call it an issue tbh) over-exaggerated? Would appreciate reading some of y'all's thoughts if you have experience with this model. Thanks!

AQ-230EGG-3A is the model number for anyone wondering. I have both this and the gold one and I just love these watches! I like the combination of analogue and digital displays, and the fact that this watch can be set to track 3 (three!) different timezones, which is pretty neat.

Settled on the decision that I don't want the GA-B2100 even though the solar feature is fantastic. I just prefer that the regular GA-2100 has days on the dial instead of modes. And I don't really care about Bluetooth connection to be honest. But anyway, I've settled on one of these three.

The one with the grey/white indices probably would have the best legibility I guess, but I heard the darker ones aren't really that bad. They do look pretty sick too. So I'm kinda torn between these three cause I seem to equally like them. And I'm not buying three watches lmao so I figured I'd get to read people's thoughts on them to see if that helps or confuses me even more.

(Sorry I just realised the pics are kinda ass. I downloaded those from the Casio website but didn't think they'd be png files. Whoops)
