I reckon we should hold a TZ watch meet outside a Swatch shop as part of our queuing effort. With enough of us in attendance, no one will try jumping a queue.. and we’ll all have fellow hobbyists to...

I agree, because I’m one of those people that finally got round to buying a speedy (on Sales Corner though). It was always a watch to have in the collection, but somehow never got round to it. I...
Holy smokes, and then there were three! :) I'd totally forgotten about this as no one has ever previously commented about it.. going back almost 9 years now!
When Swatch released their Sistem 51, I bought one out of excitement and my jacket cuff scratched the crystal the first time out.. not a terrible scratch, but it was noticeable. I was of course super...
Your statement, was clearly making a point until the 300 quid part. This is perhaps more their failing by lumping all their products under one name, and so you can not mentally separate the two...
km9, if this helps, I have owned multiple Rolexes, JLC models and a GS (SBGR099) among many other watches. The Rolexes I have owned are all sports models (Deep Blue, SD4K, Explorer II, Ceramic Sub no...
For the Archives, the official response from Perrelet has finally come back:
Unfortunately the strap from the A1067/1 doesn't fit to the A1064.
We can only replace it for a new one from the...
Surely someone here would know this :)
I want to change the strap on a Perrelet Turbine A1064 (44mm), do I have any other options other than the exact replacement? The one for the A1064 is...
Loved it! Thanks for taking the time to post it Jocke.
No, seriously!
This isn't a soppy message - I have been forced to use other watch forums lately due to needing to expand my reach for a "collection reduction exercise". I have used many forums...
If I recall reading an article in a watch magazine correctly, most modern day Swiss tourbillons were not as accurate when compared to simpler, high-quality Swiss movements designed for accuracy. They...
I have a fascination with tourbillons and actually ended up getting three of these and they are really well made considering the complication and the price point. I wore one for a couple of days and...
I was just outbid on a few items tonight, and it started doing the "listing is not available" thing and showing me another suggestion instead, however the link was working for me. Very annoying...
I think we've both tried on the same watch :) Platinum is heavy.. but they are trying it on a little with the price. It's cheaper to fly to Japan and pick one up and tax it properly.
Does anyone...
I'd definitely want one, even more so if you have a "no date" version. 1000ft does make better proportions, totally fine with me.
Good thing too, because that shot was totally worth it! :)
I think sometimes you have to scroll down a bit and find something that says "see original listing" or something to that effect. I have also noticed that watches get pulled (i.e. auction terminated...
You dared wet an Explorer? *shock* *horror*
As much as a drop of water on a Submariner makes most people on here freak out, let alone an Explorer with a lower depth rating..
P.S. Nice photo...
I don't know of any at the moment off the top of my head, however as I used to search for watches, I came across some of these of the years on the usual channels (ebay, chrono24 etc). You could try...
Montello,
You will find NOS versions of Aquastars if you are willing to pay the premium. Of course a properly serviced one with the correct gaskets will perform correctly, it's just a matter of...
Cousins wins hands down for NATO straps. Of course there are better out there, and the cousins ones wear out a bit quickly, but I like the idea of getting so many straps and not worrying if they...
Thanks for the link! Fascinating how easy it is to understand stats when it is boiled down so simply.
That sucks (for others!) but I'm definitely in this time, I can make the 20th!
Thanks for posting the video, always a big fan of Seiko, and frankly can not really compare it to single Swiss brand, but more a group, such as say the Swatch group, since the range of watches they...
I bought a new one and took delivery about 1 month ago. Superb fun, as for power it is surprisingly torquey and quite nippy. It definitely has "character" and some quirks, but once you get used to...
