Very entertaining thread. Thanks to those who have contributed. Just a thought if anyone is still tempted to try this with an analogue watch, I wonder if trimming down the second hand to the bare...
Have just been looking at that. Not sure about the military BS (yawn) but that aspect is quite subtle on the watch itself and, putting that asside, it's another great design from CW I think. Very...
Agreed. It could do with black or dark grey hands really. Mostly silver hands against a pale dial aren't ideal, as I commented in another thread.

And now also available in titanium, which I think looks superb.....

I can’t comment on GS but I have noticed how well the polished hands on my Speedmaster 57 reflect the light, even when the overall light levels are very low. It’s amazingly easy to read. I...
I know quartz has been ruled out in this instance but for anyone else reading this and looking for ideas, I'll confirm that the Ti Diver One in blue is a cracking daily and holiday watch. I bought...
Not sure of the reason for this (may even be a pricing error on the web site?) but at the time of writing I've just noticed that the price is currently showing as £80O on their Bader bracelet and the...
Very much enjoyed my visit to their old factory with a few other forum members a few years ago. Would certainly like to visit "the wing" at some stage but can't make it this week unfortunately. Hope...
We're discussing spring bars on an internet watch forum. I think most folk would say we passed "taking something too seriously" a long time ago [emoji38]
Was just going to say the same about the ones that I've encountered - the small "lever" has been screwed in.. Personally I quite like the convenience of being able to do a quick tool-free strap...
What's the cause of it being "snowy" like that? Have never seen a speckled trace quite like that before.
Nice patina but most of the lume seems to be missing. Does it keep good time?
Very nice. Suits that watch perfectly in my opinion [emoji106]
Last day in Barbados. The Scurfa has done me well. HAGWE all...

For many people, the answer to both of those questions is yes. If not "more dangerous things" then certainly more frequent activity then they would do at home. Hiking, swimming, sailing, tennis,...
Looks to be very clean and tidy. Nice gesture. In my limited experience with watch tinkering these old Tissot movements are a pleasure to work on. Most of the component parts seem very well made to...
Exactly. Drinking (what I presume to be) instant coffee from a jar is the root cause of the problem here [emoji6]
Thanks. Yes, that was my first thought actually.
Although if you can make a convincing "replica" of the rest of the watch, I wouldn't have thought a little laser etching would be too hard? ...
Yep, that's the one. I've never had a pro so can't compare but I'm finding this one very wearable, even with what I consider to be fairly small wrists. 40mm is generally my top end but I loved the...
Just did the first strap change on my Speedmaster 57 and noticed this interesting little logo on the back of the 1 o'clock lug. Shows how closely I've looked at the case back up until now! Is this...
Is this intended to be used on just one watch, or on a few different ones? Any quirky lug-width requirements? Just wondering if a nice quality shark mesh may work?
...
Talking of "sharp and pointy".....

Agree with that. A little black paint on those chrono hands would work wonders. Also just spotted the date at 12.... not sure I've seen that on a "mainstream" watch before? Like the look of it...
Sorry to hear about that Keith. I recently had similar experience with some clothing from a seemingly genuine retailer with a perfectly regular looking website. By chance I'd paid with PayPal and...
Saw those in the email earlier. The blue is a bit bright for my tastes (and I'm ignoring the tenuous nature related tie-ins) but I think the white is a great looking watch.
