Hopefully this month closes out well and December isn't bad either - then I can start looking into buying more braps.
Or a bike.

I've always been a fan of this brand, Vestal. This watch, ZR-3, is one of my favorites of theirs. Planning on picking it up in a few more colors eventually and then grabbing a few of their watches with leather bands for a different look.

Happy with it?
Very! Liked it much better than nixon, nixon is really overhyped imo. Nixon feels fragile in comparison and paid less than fraction of the price for this.

I'll order a strap for it eventually, gotta do some research on which direction I want to go.

But, it's a durable watch with timeless style that I dig.

I know I'm an idiot but to me that's like 80+% of the look of the $925 one in the OP.

Have read great things about it, even comments like "best bang of buck for quality and durability." IIRC.

I'll probably do a review when 2017 comes.

No, you're exactly right.

It's classy enough to be an accessory, but completely functional, and the price is stupid reasonable. Also, Seiko's automatic movement is :impressive:
I can't believe you scored a Seiko Automatic for 38$
:mindblown:
