What time is it? Watches and horology

Is it an optical illusion or is the bezel proud of the glass?

It's definitely made all of my other watches jealous, I cant see myself taking this off to wear anything else I own in a long time. (besides another GS which hasn't arrived yet)

Yes it is, looks a lot from the camera angle, but its actually proud by a mil, just enough to protect the crystal edge from unwanted contact.

//looks at superglued g-shock...looks at GS...looks back at superglued g-shock...

I read ejected its balls... So sad it isn't...

That’s the first keyboard in pages and pages of this thread that’s made me a bit jealous.

Yes we do and old Omega are our speciality.

Apparently it's an acrylic crystal. It's shouldn't pop out. The same crystal type is used on pilot's watches. They need to be set with sufficient tension to resist popping out. Timefactors says "Hi-dome acrylic , 34.6mm diameter x 2.5mm thick" so you may be better with a 34.8mm. It should require a press to be fitted. If it can be fitted by hand then it's probably too small.

Having managed to figure out images, one I should've put up last week. Had bought it as a beater watch but really like it so been wearing it full time

beater watch?!!?

I either just bagged the eBay score of the century or just wasted a small sum of money. Will post picks when it arrives but lols if it’s what I think it is.

Intrigued! Come on, share...

It’s a Tudor... and it’s old.

Small update. Had a read up about magnetising/demagnetising. Based on the literature and the phone app, it seems to have worked.

Using an orderly field to magnetise, or an alternating source to demagnetise... I took the tiny strong magnet off the bike's pedal axle and used my right forearm skill to mimic an alternating magnetic field.

Lepsi went from reading 30-40 normal and 100 with the watch, to barely fluctuating over 40 with the watch now.

Edit: still gaining seconds. Can't be magnetism then.

Is that good?

Or can. We. Lafff?

Colour me jealous!!

Zero-feedback seller? Good luck either way!

Pretty sure that the Pulsar came out first ;)

I wasnt complimenting the Pulsar...

At least Pulsar managed to install the bezel ring without being squint!

Thats the internal / external bezel system
