Magnetisation is very much a thing, though usually it will start running a lot fast, not a little.

Depending on what the watch is and what parts were used/replaced in the service it might not be possible to get an older watch to run super accurately.

Also, regulating watches is a matter of compromise. It will be faster in some positions and slower in others. If the watch is fast or slow over a full 24h cycle, try putting it in a different position (eg face up / crown up) overnight and see if that improves things.

Congrats and welcome to the slippery slope

I was going to say, the MXR mini pedals are good quality, the Sugar Drive is a nice klon-style overdrive.

Pretty normal, there are brand new ones on C24 from private sellers for less.

Contrary to popular opinion I neither live nor work there. :)

We've actually met, I think, way back when. Probably at Easts.

There's already a watch channel on the LFGSS Discord, but I dunno if people want to hang out there. I'm on a bunch of Discord servers so it's fine for me.

+1 for Wunjo, I like it in there.

I still have a Blackstar Studio 10 KT88 for sale -

No worries. Given the age of them (~30 years old now), if you buy a Skyforce (nice NOS one here for example) I would check that it has had its seals renewed and tested or have it done yourself before taking it diving.

I saw that Tortoise Watches have a new strap section. They're in the Grays Antiques market.

The only current G-Shock with both an altimeter and a depth meter is the GWN-Q1000. But even then I'm not 100% sure it's still in production.

The only other G-Shock with both depth and alti I think is the Skyforce DW-6500, which probably qualifies as vintage at this point. Cool looking watch though.

I only recently learned that KFC at Christmas is a thing in Japan. Some KFC marketing person realised that the only thing Japan really knew about Christmas was that it was a big deal in America, and a food they thought of as American was fried chicken, so now everyone thinks you have KFC at Christmas time.

@D-Dog @Detritus cheers! After wearing it for four days it is a) very comfortable indeed and 2) pretty accurate, about +3s/d (it's the first watch I've had a COSC certificate with).

It's such a great size, I don't know why there aren't more watches that wear this well.

They should make that watch.

It is a bit!

Ain’t much wrong with that.

Nice shot

It’s here!

Happy Friday everyone.

I saw them at the British brands weekender already. You should definitely go though, it's a nice space.

It entirely depends on the movement. It has to be something special at that price.

Of those two executions, I much prefer the Citizen! I think it's nicely done. Again v similar to the GS style and a lot of 8L / 9S movements have a silver date wheel too.

Thanks dood.

I think I'm a lot less bothered about the GS vs SGS branding than some people. On the modern watches I generally prefer the GS rebrand. I'm glad they did SGS on this but I still think GS would work, with "HI-BEAT 36000" and maybe the Daini logo at the bottom (that might be weird though).
