Wrist watches

Any enthusiasts here?
Finally decided to order myself a (low-end, admittedly) automatic watch after looking at a lot of options. Will post pictures when it comes. You can see it here
I'm not really a big fan of wrist watches but I've got this torsion clock I was trying to get working yesterday. Thought it would be as simple as re-winding it, but it's old as fuck so all the mechanisms need to be cleaned and re-lubed. Really pretty looking though. Looks like this one, but the brass at the bottom is still tarnished since moving it around while the pendulum is still in is a good way to kink the wire holding it.

There are women here ? ?? ? jk
A really nice looking watch, although it's kind of a shame that women's watches hardly ever have a mechanical movement. Not that there's anything wrong with quartz but some people prefer having more machinery on their wrist. Most women's watches and plenty of men's "fashion" brands put all the money in the look and design (and sometimes in the brand logo).
Most womens watches are made smaller and lighter than men's, meaning it's easier to put a quartz movement in, meaning women's mechanical usually come in a lot more expensive.
Has exactly the same hands as my watch, but yours has a black background so no problem, mine has a silver background so in low light it's damn near impossible to see them.As promised:
Gonna replace the band with something less dressy, probably brown/orange leather or a good NATO strap.
Looks pretty neat with the black strap, I wouldn't personally go for a brown strap with that black face, and I don't think a steel one would look right either.
I think I'd put something like this on it..

Yeah, I'm totally in love with those kind of hands. I was looking at Seiko's SARB033 at first just because of the beautiful hands but it was out of my budget and also hard to find.
I might get a strap like that one you linked (although not that expensive, lol). Multiple colours, even (green is my favourite colour and would work with plenty of my outfit choices, for example).
