Vintage Girard-Perregaux Alarm I picked up in Brussels. I think this one is late 1950’s. Pairs well with a NATO strap.

I like wearing this one on Friday. It’s on a CNS “Remove Before Flight” MN-style strap.
Casual Tahiti blue dial on NATO from Crown and Buckle. My best friend ordered two watches for his birthday, never connected with this one and gave it to me. Came with a BOR bracelet, but I’m digging this NATO.
I’ve been set on the BB58 Blue for some time now. Dive watches are my happy place and I have a few in my watch box, but not a BB58. And that was all fine and well until a recent visit to the boutique when I spotted the new Royal. I’ve never really been interested in the Royal. Never even tried one on until this one. I never expected to like it as much as I did. Now I’m torn. One of them will be on my wrist for cake day next month. Which one will it be? Thoughts?
Got this one in 2004 and sent it NIB to IWW to have it bead blasted. Changes the hand set a few years later and now I’m looking at changing out the bezel and adding a Kanji date wheel. This thing is built like a tank. It’s my ultimate beater. The 007 gets all the love, but IMO the 173 has better aesthetics.
This thing is such a strapmonster. Today I have it on a Sunrise Orange Strada from Cascadia Strap Co. Quality Italian leather from Thile. No padding = Instant comfort with zero break-in.
