Slightly related, but (maybe just in the US) Tudor have TM’d snowflake hands (the shape, not the name) and sent a C&D to at least one microbrand that uses them.
This will bring the tone down from the lovely watches previously posted...
Anyway,
So using a San Martin dial and hands, a Seiko NH, an Alpha explorer bracelet and a Riyi case.
I assembled...
Did have a quick thread search to see if this has come up already and not sure how unpopular this opinion is..
Fully lumed bezels are tacky as fk
and (didn't search this one)
watches with a...
In case anyone cares...
I bought two* San Martin SN004s (each the same model) - I know that's a lot more than the £100 thread title
The first one came with a misaligned bezel, misaligned hands,...

(On the off chance anyone cares... IIRC this isn't really the forum for this sort of thing... but it's a San Martin dial and hands,...
internet algorithms can be weird like that..
Ha! Yeah isn't it? Anyway they finally showed yesterday!
if they’re anything like the BB58 ones… then no, more like this

Congratulations, and OT and I’m afraid very self indulgent whining on my part, but you got your watch from Japan and had to pay VAT etc far faster than I haven’t yet got some bits from the UK sent to...
I don’t enjoy to swim, but when on holiday with my (young) kid it’s all about the pool.. larking about.
I’ve no concerns about water resistance on any of my dive watches, but larking about in the...

posted this in the holiday watch thread… got it 13 days ago
Pretty cheap (€323) 9039 running great (+1spd) stuck a £30 eBay glidelock bracelet on it. Lume is...
Just as an appendix to the above...
Mid tier luxury vs affordable (FOR ME) =
better bracelets, quieter rotors, less wobbly crowns, nicer crown action (and of course far, far greater cachet)

Yeah I guess…
To begin with I was just rabid for watches and I’d buy cheap ones (microbrands, Seiko) in all different configurations.
I decided that I preferred divers, aspired to and bought a...

I haven't taken it on holiday yet! (well a city break last week)
But I just got this Borealis Bull Shark V2 as my 2023 holiday watch...
I don't want to sound...
AFAIK... it means
Up to +/-12 sec/day = what we aim to get
Up to +/- 30 sec/day = close enough that'll do
Better than +/-12 sec/day = well ain't you the lucky one
Worse than +/- 30...
I’m a bit WIS obsessed by the 6538 and I’ve had/got various watches that either from my own opinion or via their marketing supposedly evoke the spirit of the big crown submariner.
Nothing I...
Their site says 5mm which IMO is a big jump in one go... Like going from January to August wrist sizing in a moment!
OK thank you everyone, you’ve been very helpful.
Bracelet:
I will stick with the OEM for a while… I’m personally a little unconvinced about the spring (basically elasticated?) link in the...
Thank you, when it comes to rubber I’m a massive fan of the Jospeh Bonnie tropic (I have two) so I think that’s covered
RE aftermarket bracelets I'm getting a sense of that ol' adage 'ask 3 different WIS, get 4 different opinions' :chuncky:
Thank you that's good to know, I thought the OEM bracelet tapered to 16mm too?
My 114060 was bought by me seeing it in the AD window, walking in, haggling a 5% discount from rrp then walking out with it! And I’ve worn it to hell and back.
I’m a little shocked at today’s...
I change straps quite a lot, firstly because I like to photograph ruined buildings which sometimes means clambering up a wall (up not over!) and resting my forearms on the top to get a shot and this...
they do look good, thank you
