    Anyone into Seiko divers?

    On the road with my Orange Monster. Found it on an auction site for a good price because the bracelet was broken. My SKX007 is at home. Love to wear it too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    New Watch!

    My post made it seem as though the watch is somehow irredeemably flawed. It's really not. Everything that is there is good, but the Sea-gull ST-19 movement requires unfortunate subdial placement. Same issue with the Omega Speedmaster. Having said all that, the movement is quite good. I'm also...

    New Watch!

    Potato quality picture because I'm at work. Sorry. This came from Mary at Watchinternational. If I'm honest, it's not a brilliant replica. But if I'm honest, I've never actually handled a $56,000 Patek Phillipe. At any rate, it's a little dressier than my subs but not full on Calatrava. I...

    Need some repair/upgrade for a sub

    Further developments on this front: I contacted Gary at Katt's Watch Repair about this. He's done some work for me on a sub before and I was REALLY pleased at his service, quality of work and turnaround time. I can't say enough about how happy I was with the experience. Unfortunately, Gary says...

    Need some repair/upgrade for a sub

    Thanks JS1953. Those were the links I needed. The lume is actually pretty good for a rep, which is to say that it could be a lot better. It pales in comparison to my Seiko and Orient gens. I think a lume job is in order. DAYWATCH I'm hip to the openers. I have a variety of tools including a...

    Need some repair/upgrade for a sub

    I fumbled and dropped one of my subs this afternoon. It landed on carpet from about 4 feet and made a solid thud. Sure enough, the marker at 1 o'clock has disloged itself. I'm not above working on watches, but I can't seem to get the back off this watch with my tools, and I'm not inclined to go...

    Looking to buy a strap

    Got this in the mail today. Tried it on the Panda Daytona. It's great.

    any other websites like aliexpress.com

    Are these sites taking orders now, or are they still out for CNY?

    I went dressy today, what with it being Sunday and all.

    Do you wear a watch to tell the time? Serious question!

    I agree with Iggy. A watch is a quick and discreet way to check time. I sit in front of a computer all day, mostly dicking around on my phone and STILL catch myself glancing at my watch to check time. Granted, I enjoy looking at my watches because reps are incredible these days and I have...

    Just happen to notice this travesty on "the Bay"

    So, my mistake then. Sure thought it looked like a rotten apple. I was (am) aware of the existence of the "reduced" model, but was never interested in owning one. Touche!

    How many things can you find wrong with this? I stopped at 5. :facepalm: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-Speedmaster-Chronograph-Automatic-3510-50-cal-1140-Men-039-s-Watch-185647-/261776228724?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276 Really kind of sad.

    Cheap Gen Waterproof Sub Style Watch For Holiday?

    +1 for the Seiko SKX007 or 009 (Pepsi bezel). Though I could vouch for the Orient Mako or Ray as well.

    Stymied!

    I've been around this particular tree before. While the sticky ball is known to work on some case backs, my experience is that it does not work on adequately torqued case backs. If a sticky ball can open it, I'm concerned about it being sufficiently moisture resistant. And I've received...

    Stymied!

    Much thanks Raddave. I'll see what I can cobble together. And I appreciate the pointer to the larger die. Mark Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
