Sorry, that was my misreading of the original post...
I wonder if it's worth putting the old TPS back in if it's not too much of a faff. Also, when you installed the new one, did you do a reset or "learn" procedure? For example on Alfas:...
Does your reader allow you to clear the codes or does it simply read them?

and sorry for the terrible pic., but here's my first Breitling 1973 Navitimer Chronomatic:

I've got a 114270 and it's just back from Rolex for a service. I'll try to get a wrist shot. St. James have outdone themselves as it's keep a steady -1 sec/24 hours. These older movements might not...
Watch Gecko straps are quite good value for money. I used this one on an Omega FOIS with 19mm lugs:

..just out of curiosity, are you going to redo the minutes track?
It's a fairly dressy watch - I'd go leather - black or dark blue. Then again the right rally strap might look nice - something with small holes. Nice watch - I'd love to pick up one of those if I...
That's within chronometer spec., so no, I wouldn't take it in to get checked. 5.5 seconds a day is pretty darn good for any mechanical watch. Think of it this way. If you set the watch to the pips,...
My bracelet is a bit of a mashup. I bought it from a kind gentleman at the Omega forums. It's a Titus band with an Omega clasp grafted on. I would love a proper Omega one, but I've not as yet been...
No thoughts on this vs 2998 as I'm not familiar with it, but I've recently put my FOIS on a bracelet, and I'm loving it. I had some good straps, but I struggled with finding the perfect strap. I...
The problem is finding ones with curved end pieces. Here's another super cheap option if you want straight ends:

If not, I nominate the Sinn 104 st. Practically the same case as the 2446C, but better in that it has a screwed back.

Perhaps a little big at 42mm,...
The way I look at it, the £25 wouldn't hurt if the person doing it had done dozens before, and could guarantee a good result. That's what I'd be paying for. I'm usually a DIY kind of guy, but as Paul...
I have a recently acquired Explorer 114270 that I have sized to the minimum. The clasp sits a fair bit off and I've been thinking of having someone remove a permanent link from the 6 o'clock side as...
Thanks for measuring that.

Just curious - what's the lug to lug on that? Cheers..

blued hands - classy and not something you see that much.

I wonder what it would look like with the case in black and only the bezel/sub dials in blue. Anyone good in photoshop?
That looks fine ... perfectly in proportion.
I think in that price range, I'd have a long look at vintage Seiko models. Lots of info out there and some of them are rising in price.
You can go on chrono24 and filter on case diameter, case material, etc. There are actually lots in this category. As the previous poster suggests, knowing your budget will help. Prices range from...
