Wow! That looks really sharp. Great that there's a quartz option. $290 with beautiful box sapphire and sapphire bezel is outstanding. I'm really tempted - been wanting an orange watch again. Can't stand the cyclops but the quartz is ND so problem solved!

The automatics are available in an ND model also, too. 9015, even.

Oh yeah! 9015 is sweet. But I think I prefer the convenience of the quartz. And the cheapness, of course!

I wouldn’t mind one, but the 37mm ones don’t seem to be available. I’ll wait and see if the 37mm comes out or not then look for it used at a better price.
In memory of TB/Phfluff, since he isn’t here to continue to give his praise, I will share it for him.

37mm appears to be available in Quartz only.

And you can add a bracelet for $80 when adding to cart. May be my favorite DH so far.

 Has anyone tried a FKM/fluoro-elastomer/Viton strap? Can't be too fussy for under $300 but it would be nice to know it's not smelly unwearable garbage.
I've got a few FKM including this Helm and they're just as they say. Soft, pliable, no smell, not sticky and not a lint magnet.

The 1975 was delivered while I was away. Wearing it now, will do a bit of a review once I've had it for a while. First impressions are positive. Only gripe so far is it had a blue sticker on the crown. I tried to peel it off and little bits are stuck in the engraved 'DH' 🥺

And the caseback is porn.

And the seconds hand is bugging me. What's wrong with a seconds hand ticking, you know, every second???

You can pretend it's a deadbeat. Like my brother-in-law.

But that's the problem. It ticks twice every second. Not enough to be smooth but fast enough it looks like it's stuttering. I don't mind a seconds hand ticking once every second, to indicate the passing of one second. This is just stupid.
