This is why quality watches are adjusted to 5 positions - to ensure they are all as even as possible.
Watch adjusting is a very deep rabbit hole…

I’ve had mine for something like 25 years, still use them most days. Hold an edge well, sharpen well.
Can’t remember what I paid, but I do remember it was a stretch and I questioned the cost at the...
This is how Seiko do it for at least their “lower end” watches. I know this because not that long ago sending a watch in for service minus the movement was exactly the same price…
There is...
My Citizen has such a strap. Weblink to a page with a pic:

I have also strapped...
My dive watches have a ribbed rubber strap that you stretch when putting on at the surface.
I have no tips on watch shopping, but will just leave this here:

If they were catalogued then there might be some value, otherwise they are just another set of unknown old watch parts.
Unfortunately even catalogued they are probably not worth that much, which...
Maybe. DIPAL -> diamond pallets, but their website is somewhat lacking information.
This is a way to manufacture the escape wheel and a complete lever from single diamond crystal.
It’s interesting...
Interesting research in Switzerland:

My wife used to teach spss to undergraduates if you end up stuck drop me a message
How hard could it be?
Get some paints and a toothbrush.
Dip toothbrush in paint and flick the bristles at the dial.
Quite like that Seiko, might have to get a sterile dial homage and try it.

See if you can get a copy of “The Phantom Flotilla” - It’s the story of how the boats got there and what they did.
Anyone?
My sister has a habit of turning up odd horological items. The latest one is a ladies JLC cocktail watch.

Love mine, can’t see me letting it go.

Thanks. Never really considered Tuna as I perceived they were “enormous” but as I was wearing an OM as a daily (less now as it really needs a service) maybe they aren’t.

How do these compare on the wrist with an Orange Monster?

The back of my Citizen BN0000-04H dive watch is pretty nice. Being a one piece case it’s not got a case back as such…

Yes, though I’ve not dived in a couple of years - COVID meant I got out of the habit and now I’m not sure if I’ll get back into it.

Basically the same as your Smiths. Might even be made in the same factory.
I have one and a couple of Smiths. They tick nice and loud which my kids used to appreciate when they were going to sleep....
If I was cynical I would say that most coloured plastics have a proportion of filler to give the colour and Swatch have found a marketing way to turn that into “ceramic”

Was going to suggest Helly Hansen Lifa, but when I saw the price they are now Eek!
Still very long lasting and very warm. I have one which is 20 years old give it take, worn lots and still going,...
Evening all,
Are there any surveyors here who could give me a sense check in some reasoning about a hedgerow/footpath/fence issue?
Mostly I think I know what’s what, but I’m not a surveyor, and...
So it seems that there are a selection of Lemania 5100s on Chrono24. Most of them seem to be in Germany.
Anything I should be cautious or aware of for transactions through there?
Dave
So many options!
Pretty sure I want black dial, orange plane hands - Adds some interest compared to the monochrome black white look. That means an Orfina/PD has to be the mil version I think.
