What time is it? Watches and horology

bathroom shelf when showering that kinda thing

I reckon they'll fix you up if you get in touch, not great QC/PR for such a prestigious man bracelet marque...

if that was one of ours after 3 weeks I would be replacing strap for ya.

No, specifically not done that because of concerns.

I have worn it after gym/football but that feels a bit of a stretch. Pretty sure they will replace it, more just a bit annoyed that it's happened and I have to go into town to get it sorted.

Just had this back from service at Rolex , service , glass and bezel insert. Been wearing for a few days and am not sure I'm feeling the love. It may grow on me but I may cut my losses and move it on. Anybody fancy it before it goes on the bay?

Sorry don't why that did that twice, but have another picture

Someone else on here has one of those. Stick a pepsi bezel on there and I'd wear it :)

Tempted, I was looking at this model on ebay a few months back. It's either a new watch or a new track frame this month, any idea on price?

Possibly me, I have a blue one

It's nice, good quality for the price I think. It's probably my most worn watch as, unlike most dive watches, it's pretty slim and fits nicely under a shirt cuff.

Nice , mines got a carbon dial .
I don't what what's not ticking the boxes for me. possibly that it's not an Omega, as that's the brand I collect .

Anyone recognise Paul's watch?

The crown at 4-o-clock makes me think it's some kind of modded Seiko. Looks powdercoated...

Looks like a cerakote finish or something to make it a bit more durable.

Nomos Metro should probably go... anyone interested

PM'd

Maybe a snk809k

Haters gonna hate...

Original decals were way too delicate, and the dirt was horrid. Stripped it right back and bought a Milanese strap.

It's okay, maybe a strap with large links, more plain and less detailed would be better. Still haven't decided what to do with the watch face, it shows a lot of pitting, wouldn't mind if an off-white coating happened to be phosphorescent, but no luck finding some good paint locally.

Also struggling to find o-ring/gaskets small enough, maybe need to buy a box-full online.

At least the front crystal polished up well.

Fantastic job, and for a fiver you can't argue, but I did like the outer register markings and those numbers look a bit stranded without it. I like the strap.

Thanks, yea I agree that the face is a little... plain. There's still a lot of noticeable pitting, so it retains some aged character especially on the edge. Maybe I will look for some kinda transfer to fit to give the outer area some gravity.

There was a crack in the original plastic crystal below the 6, and realised last night that with a little pressure it was growing, so today I fitted a new dome. The original was more of a bulbous shape, and the new one is a tiny N186 Sternkreuz ordinary-domed, quite shallow and flat on top.

Oh no! I have clicked the chrono on my speedie and now it won't turn off. ballz. I reckon I have used it about 6 times. what do I do?

It's the same button to start / stop.

The lower (reset) button only works when it's been stopped.

If the top button isn't working to stop it, seek medical advice.

Frantically press buttons at random.

I know how it works, silly.

See step three then.
