I fear I might just have had a slight trouser accident!
That is absolutely lovely :unconscious: I’m on a list. Hopefully. Maybe. If I’m lucky. And live long enough to ever see it....

This landed today. I know nothing about it other than it's something to do with Helmut Sinn and it has a lovely creamy patina. Very nice watch https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9340e6f1a8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...34fb112f87.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0dc4486fd3.jpg

Looks good Ryan, the almost to the edge clear case back adds to it as well imo

This 62 mas lookalike is really nice; hour marker shapes work v well and the blue dial/bezel is captivating.

Sold as faulty, it took me about an hour or so to fix.
Mid-1980's Casio J-51 'Running Man', I used to have the earlier J-50 and had a hankering for another.

Picked this up on a whim a couple of weeks ago when Ryan posted that he'd found on in a dealer, would anyone like it?

Picked this Pogue up last week and have been playing around with different straps. I like it on this Haveston canvas.

Having tried a rose gold Yachtmaster and not really got on with it due to my skin tone and feeling a little ostentatious wearing it I went for an AP ROO in titanium to go with my RO chrono. Went into Blowers for a different SS model and this was there, fresh from an AP service meaning it’s pristine.

And arrived today is the earlier J-50 from 1983.
Some of the display units are not working, it a strip down and clean of the relevant parts should help.

Thanks, I originally went in to look at a SS version on leather and having sourced a bracelet for a previous AP ROO diver I knew just how expensive they are and would always prefer to have the bracelet first and buy alternative straps separately.
I have the AP deployment as an additional extra on my RO chrono and the ROO straps taper to the same length so they’re interchangeable. Just waiting for an APbands conversion kit now so I can fit a camo rubber strap to it ☺️
Always had a soft spot for the Sedna Gold version of this and have finally done something about it.

Completed a trade for this today. This is my second having had the standard black dial, steel watch previously. This is brushed titanium with sunburst blue dial, blue lumed bezel and display back - stunning...

50 years ago, in 1969, there was a significant event (for me)... I was born. Man also landed on the moon.
I thought it about time I got one of these...

Thrilled would be an understatement.

Picked this up yesterday after a two year + wait.
I love the dial which is even more legible to my increasingly blurry vision at the slightly increased size. It’s a great weight and I’m slightly obsessed with the way the bracelet integrates with the lugs. How do we get like this? What a thing to be obsessed about.... but nevertheless I keep looking at that part of the watch in particular. Perfect.
At 43 mm it is definitely a better fit for my enormous wrists and I’m delighted with that too. And I love that hint of red. It’s beautiful all around. I know the cyclops makes some people grimace but actually I couldn’t read the date without it and so it’s practical for me, it’s that simple. And did I mention the lugs? Awesome.
The downside? The dive extension. I absolutely hate it. I can’t believe it’s such a large, visible part of the bracelet. It means that the bracelet doesn’t fit my wrist properly because the dive extension is solid and longer than a bracelet link would be and so it creates a immovable part of the bracelet that juts out. This section therefore keeps wanting to flatten itself to my wrist which in turn moves the watch face ever so slightly away from being centralised on my wrist. I realise this is a function of my particular size wrist but when you have a large section of the bracelet that doesn’t articulate right next to the large clasp, this creates the problem.
If I removed it, which I I would LOVE to, the remaining bracelet would be too short so the only way I can cure it is by buying two extra links.The A.D. helpfully suggested that they would order these for me but even though I politely said it seemed a bit much to be charged for two extra bracelets links when you were already playing nine grand for a watch they were immovable about throwing them in for me. 2019 y’all.
I also feel like it makes the clasp stand slightly further out from my wrist than it does on my deep sea or my GMT. And it clicks. And it ‘digs in’. And I want to tear it off and set fire to it. I’m taking it very, very well.
It does mean that I’m having fun at the moment playing with my own emotions. Because when I turn my wrist towards my face the watch makes me smile from ear to ear and then if I turn my wrist over I want to kill everybody in the room. Back and forth. Back and forth. My own personal emotional rollercoaster.

Well done on having the patience required to acquire the watch you wanted so much,
also good to hear your positive and negative comments, hopefully you'll get the bracelet adjusted to your liking.
^^
Just go get the links ordered. Painful to pay the extra but no point not enjoying the watch for what is not that much more (relative to the overall purchase).
^^
Actually thinking about it I am sure mine came with enough links to directly replace the dive link anyway.
You should have the same if you directly bought from an AD.
