I’m actually looking at the BigEye as a Speedmaster alternative :-)
Sinn looks good and probably fits great at 38.5mm but yeah, 15mm tall.
The Longines seem to tick a lot of boxes for me but I’d like to know the dimensions before I go looking for one.

I can’t stop looking at the Longines BigEye (L2.816.4.53.2). I’ve been wanting a chronograph for a while but they are always slightly too big. Anyone got this one? Online there’s some contradicting info about lug to lug and the case size - this according to Longines website is 41mm.

Thanks guys

Ouch!

Mechanical question - I have a diver watch with screw down crown. It has a Sellita SW200 movement.
Today I had to adjust the time (travelling) and I noticed a weird “clicks” while screwing the crown back down. Didn’t think much of it but then I remembered and tried it again and it actually doesn’t feel good. It feels like when screwing down the crown there’s a resistance that I have to push through. Not all the time but every turn or so there’s a click. I’ve done some quick research online and some people say it’s a poor design of the Sellita and can actually damage some teeth somewhere. Others say that it’s the clutch when the watch is fully wound. I actually don’t know what to think of it, the watch is basically brand new, still on warranty and all I’m just wondering if it’s normal. To my pedantic ear, it does not sound healthy. Anyone experienced this before?
Oh, I have another watch with the same movement, but without the screw down crown and never experienced this with that one. Odd.
Cheers

Vintage Seiko 7005 today.

Oh yeah, but there are some nice materials involved (I hope). This cloth/fabric strap is probably a piece of some old trousers.

Beautiful and no doubt high quality strap but £185... that's just silly.

Lovely!

A lot of watch for not a lot of money here...

Fantastic.

Very cool!
Yes, done in Cykada where @maciekniuans works. In my opinion one of the best tattoo shops in Poland. Zappa is a legend - been tattooing for like 30+ years and constantly looking for new ideas, techniques etc. amazing artist and very humble man. The atmosphere in the studio is by far the nicest and everyone is super cool. Highly recommend visiting if you’re into some “one of a kind pieces”.
Sopot is dangerous for drinking though - the party never stops!

Merry Christmas all!

Thank you folks.

Thank you. If this is the only reason, seems like way too much hassle for me. Apparently, Rolex has nothing to do with it either, which makes it more confusing to me.

I keep seeing/hearing about Rolex AD's holding onto the warranty cards. Can anyone tell me what is the reason behind it? Why would they do that? Please forgive me if the answer is obvious - I couldn't find it.

This pocket watch belonged to my great great grandfather. I believe it’s from before the 1st world war. It hangs on my moms wall next to the family pictures. It still works and seems to be keeping good time. Last service date: unknown (if ever)

Anyone got a Christopher Ward 20mm Vintage Oak Leather Strap (Camel/Steel) laying around? They are out of stock and I've been scanning eBay with no luck for quite a while now...

Dibs Rapha classic jersey, pm coming

I can see similarities! Is this Tudor 36mm case, 20mm lug?

CW on today, and for the test of the weekend I think.

From all the micro brand „quality watch” adverts I’ve seen, this is possibly the most hideous one. And they are all horrible.
