What time is it? Watches and horology

very few watches will accept 3mm in the lugs. I tend to use about 1.5/2mm, but then that's folded over.

3mm is a good thickness if you don't double it as above.
edit: just trim it a bit where it holds the pin.

Have you got any pics of a starp on a monster, Murtz?

no, but it'll fit ok. that one is the same size. should look alright.

like these.

Cheers, didn't think to UTIS. Not really my cup of tea. Guess I'll have to save up for a sub.

hehe, no probs.

My no.1 lust watch just cemented its spot. Well done clockwork_killa, well done.

^I'm part of the team that produced all the advertising for the new co-axial campaign (sadly not responsible for the amazing cg stuff though).
May I ask how you came across the video? Did you click through from the youtube masthead or did you see it posted somewhere?

^ isn't it on the Omega web site? Sure I saw it there as well.

On ITV after the footy this evening.

^^Yeah it is, I was just wondering if anyone saw the youtube stuff we did as I spent many hours slaving over a mac whilst making it haha

Heh, small world etc. Our UK team are the media agency for Swatch Group. I know the person who bought the ad on ITV this evening.

Lovely watch.

Accidentally won a watch on ebay

Work distracted me so I forgot to save my cancelled snipe...

Oops.

Not expensive but also probably a fake...

Oh well. Now just hope it keeps good time and it'll become my daily beater. Saves the RAF and the lacroix.

hah. what did you get?

is that a new dial in an old case?

If it is fake can you not go into a huff about the description and cancel the sale?

I like the face and I don't mind fake as long as fake works. Googling the number seems to bring up more pic so can't tell...

What is it with you cyclists and your Seikos? Every single one if you!

Who would fake a seiko ffs?

I guess there must be a decent margin to be made.

I just dropped one of my Seiko 5 and smashed the fucking glass. Not happy at all. I wonder if it will be possible to get it repaired at a price that is worth it?

What is it with you cyclists and your Seikos? Every single one if you!

This.

What's so good about Seikos?

They like the watch equivalent of a specialized.

Irony

Pretty much, cheap and cheerful.
