I recently sold my Omega, and replaced it with this vintage 80s Tag Heuer 1000 that I put on an oyster bracelet.

I have 2 Tags already (both 2000 models), and love that I can beat ‘em up and only need to change the battery once every 3 years.

Edit- I ended up putting it on a dive strap, and liking it much better.

Thank you. Yes it’s an SKX009J. One of my favourites and an iconic dive watch.

There's something killer about the visual appearance of Seiko up until around 2000. The reissues are a bit too large or get some of the details slightly wrong. Or they are just overpriced for what they are. I wish the SRP Turtle had been the same proportion as the original, but it just looked off and clunky to me.
