Any recommendations for a replacement band on this? I've had this watch for 15 years or so, it's pretty much my daily watch. The original band wore out and tore, and what you see in the image below is the replacement Citizen sent me. It sucks compared to the original band. And I mean sucks. It looks identical, but the original band was twice as thick as this band (at least), longer, and not as loose fitting on the watch, and the stays on this are absolutely terrible, to the point it's unwearable at times. Constantly having to adjust it. I tried to find the exact band it originally came with and Citizen does not make it any more. This one is pretty much the only option I have that's OEM. Since it's the watch I wear daily, I'm now looking for an aftermarket band that looks good and fits. Any suggestions on where to look?

opinion on the oysterquartz? aparently i have a thing for watches with integrated bracelets like the Royal Oak, Nautilus, Vacheron 222 etc. but i cant break the bank really. I'm really torn right now, on the one hand i like the design and you cant get one relatively cheap (compared to the others mentioned), on the other hand it's (as the name suggests lol) a quartz watch which kinda puts me off. while it's still a rolex i'm not really keen to pay that much for a quartzwatch. help me brahs

Finally found time to post a pic. Nothing special, just something to wear casually. May grab something more formal down the road. Only gripe so far is the dial is a little sloppy. Wish it was a bit tighter, better yet a nice positive click.

Speedmaster has a version, and the Planet Ocean Liquidmetal IIRC. The term you are looking for is "display back" or "sapphire caseback" btw.

Currently I don't own any watches, but I want to start purchasing some. I have a manager at my work who is big into watches and today he randomly bought me these:
Said they just came out and are good "starter" watches. Looks like they were $75 each.
I know nothing about wearing watches and matching. Could I rock either of these in non dress attire? Like would either even work with just a t shirt and jeans? Also not a big fan of the orange leather on the black one, should I get a brown leather strap?

As for the second part, I don't usually pay too much attention to what I wear with what. Whatever you think looks ok probably looks just fine.

Hello Misc watch gurus!
Looking for a treat for myself. Metal band, preferably a breitling. Attention getter but professional. I wear a suit daily and it needs to be somewhat conservative.
I also have giant wrist/hands- so size matters. I would like to keep it south of 5k if possible. Any suggestions?

Believe they do some different sizes (42mm and 46mm, i think? )
