Invicta Reserve Chronograph White Dial Black Lether Men's Watch 12501

Coolest Custom Cases!
Hey Gang!Back from a little trip overseas and have been waiting for a little something to show you all!For years, I have been looking for a rugged case for my watches. I went nuts looking all over the web and couldn't find something that would keep them dry, shock resistant and protected from just about everything I throw at them.About a month ago, I came across a little website called "Custom Case Designs" that makes custom cases for guns, electronics and just about anything else you would want to protectHummmm? Watches????After talking with Douglas, we hashed out some prototypes in different sizes and configurations. I was "shocked" when the final products arrivedtake a look!Custom Case Designs is now a proud sponsor of WTFtell them you are a member if you order!(CHECK OUT THEIR BANNER)Watch Cases : Custom Case Designs, Your home for pistol, camera, cigar, computer and watch casesHere are some pix of 3 cases: Suitcase 54 watchesBriefcase 32 watchesSmall Case 12 watchesSUITCASE:This o

Seiko 5 Bund project
One of the things that I like about Seiko watches is the versatility of the watches in changing overall look with a quick face change and the fact that one can create a brand new look different then any other design. I had gotten this Dagaz Bund dial some time ago to do a project, then I ended up doing something else. I still had this in my hands and did not know what to do with it. So I decided to get the dial in use and bought a Seiko 5. I had some Seiko hands already from two other models and put the whole thing together. It came out better then I anticipated, at least in my opinion. The lume is pretty good too, of course the hands are Seiko so I knew that, the dial seems very close in brightness. I decided on a red tipped seconds hand because the dial had some red accents, the FFF hands also seem to compliment the military look of the dial. All in all I am happy with how it came out. Now I need to figure out what to do with it since it is too small for me to wear at 37mm.

New addition to my collection!
Last week, I was in a dilemma (more like a trilemma but yea, it was narrowed down to two) between Safari and Panda.And when I tried them on, I just had to go with the Panda (No wonder there's so much hype about it!). Nothing wrong with Safari, still a thing of beauty but the Panda had a buzz to it.Here are a few shots of my new baby:(P.S. What do you lads think about the size on me?)Slightly 'loose' strap:Strap tightened a bit more:

New Planet Ocean-mesh love
With the much appreciated help of Fr John, I recently purchased a new Planet Ocean model 2200.51.00 from his recommended dealer. The transaction was flawless, a great watch purchasing experience.To give you some history, I was originally considering several versions of this model including the newest 45.5mm ceramic. I went to my local AD and tried on the 45.5 but it was just too big and thick, and I have a big wrist 7-3/4. I also wasn't crazy about the grey ceramic bezel. So I decided on the 45mm (thinner) model with the 8500 movement. I wanted to be sure I got the D version so I decided to buy new and move fast as they are disappearing since being recently discontinued. I wasn't sure which band I wanted, so along with the steel bracelet, I ordered the mesh and the black rubber strap with orange stitching (I'll address the rubber strap later in a different post). When I received the watch I was thrilled with the watch but the steel band felt very heavy and uncomfortable. And although i
