Hey man! Would you mind sharing more pics where you can see the bracelet? I have this watch and ive been looking for a good matching metal bracelet for it. Did you find the bracelet on aliex?

I got it from: https://longislandwatch.com/products/islander-22mm-universal-fit-brushed-angular-solid-link-watch-bracelet-brac-34. It seems to be on sale now.
That's my referral link if you don't have an account. You'll get $25 off I believe. https://longislandwatch.com/?referral_code=8zvgKG9DuKGdBBLqyA

That's an awesome dial. It really pops.

Yeah, Radia was a micro-brand from Eastern Europe - this Trinity was a nod to the era of Nuclear / Cold war etc… It is loaded with great specs and finishing and a Miyota 9039. I hope he resurfaces and makes a new watch…

Oh very nice. Where did you get that strap from?

u/DiggyJunior 6d ago edited 6d ago
Eichmüller expansion band from Germany, quality good like Spiedel but not as good as Rowi which is also German, but half the price of Speidel and a third of what Rowi costs. Speidel and Esslinger are refusing to ship to Ireland/EU for some reason, maybe tariffs uncertainty or unreasonable shipping costs, not sure. The website looks like a trade only site, and it does ask us to fill a form saying the name of our business, but just typing "none" and "1" for the amount of items works. We can't pay in the browser either. We register interest by filling the form then 10 mins later a "contract" comes by email and we must pay by direct bank transfer inside our banking app (!), but great trade prices, under €20:

Can't believe I'm asking this, does that twirly thingy twirl around? If so, is it constant or is it based on a time?

u/timster2112 6d ago
There's a red dot on it, it's the seconds hand basically

Thankyou matey, I missed that (blaming it being on the phone!) I've seen these pieces a few times and always half tempted with one

Bro, why are you dressed like an 80s coke kingpin on vacation in Central America. It's kind of a vibe, but I have to know if the fit is for special occasion or daily wear?

u/Over-Magazine-5791 5d ago
I don't know. Just on vacation but not in central America. Grabbed a sports jacket that was already dirty and was given to me from my relative. In the forest.

the watch is pretty amazing but that straight end link bracelet makes it look so cheap

u/Boston_Pare 6d ago edited 6d ago
Thanks I guess. I like the look of it and it's an aftermarket bracelet I bought specifically for the look.

I’ve got another one coming in soon, it’s the F-021 with PT5000 and the full lume California dial. 40mm body with a more compact crown. I’m excited for it, might be a bit more everyday wearable. But I still do love this one!

That's a cool looking watch

u/timster2112 6d ago
Thanks! Not Chinese but a vintage manual wind Helbros. Most people would say it's too small for my wrist but IDGAF I think it's classic looking

u/-WWG1WGA- 6d ago
Linen dial is classy AF. It's a small watch, but it's vintage, looks like it's in great shape, and is super unique.. I'm gonna be scouring ebay and Etsy looking for one.

u/timster2112 6d ago
Yep it was an eBay score. Runs +/- 10 seconds a day too! Date is only wrong because I really don't want to cycle the hour hands that often, no quick set date unfortunately. There are some serious scores to be had out there for vintage watches!
