Bizarrely, given what most of us know them for nowadays, 'spicy' pocket-watches used to be a Doxa speciality - many of them are hilarious.

Take a look at the Rotary Super 7 or Henley ranges - automatic movements, sapphire crystal, ceramic bezels (usually only the black bezels), and some compelling colour options - really well spec'd...
Just imagine a world where used prices drop significantly - so significantly, in fact, that Rolex's absurd retail prices are unavoidably spotlit given the rather unimaginative mass-produced watches...

Good-looking combo that :encouragement:
Cheers, as midgetdata says, Damasko DC56 - more info here.

O/T usefulness there, noted, thanks :thumbsup:
It's a clever bit of marketing, since it is somewhat different in a world of me-too options, but the implementation is clumsy - too bulky, too much metal to get scratched-up by desk-diving...
Recently-arrived Tudor-style shark's-tooth weave single-pass from Watches Etc* is proving very comfortable and a great match to the Dekla B-uhr:

One of my absolute favourite watches to appear in these threads :encouragement:
For me today -

In all truthfulness, I quite like the steel-blue/brown combo, and could live with it in a <£1K watch - but they should definitely leave "quirkiness" to the likes of Mr. Jones, who're really rather...

If you don't mind stretching the budget a bit, £255 will get you a brand new Titanium diver, with Tritium indexes, 300m WR, sapphire crystal, and a 10-year battery life. There's date and DLC...
Car supply has been hit hard by the loss of a major wiring-loom manufacturer in Ukraine. Daresay dozens of other additional factors as well.
I guess a lot of factors are conspiring together to slow production - e.g. COVID lockdown WFH has become a habit lots of people don't want to break, so many workers have packed-in jobs that didn't...
Interesting, could certainly be one of the factors affecting the issue then.
I recall reading about people doing this in my pignorant-noob days and arrogantly thinking "The fools! I'd never do that!" ... . . . ...
I've pined for my original DC56 ever since I sold it, so...
Both Sinn and Damasko are experiencing significant production delays, and both companies specialise in watches utilising uncommon grades of super-hard steel in their cases.
Meanwhile, we suddenly...
Don't know the underlying causes, but Damasko are affected by similar long delays.
Although hybrid rubber not pure rubber, I think Hirsch's composite range are unbeatable - top quality, very strong, ventilated effectively, fully waterproof (even the part-leather designs) and fair...
