Actually quite cool!
I think they look absolutely brilliant and very tool.
Super legible (white hand surrounds!!)
- although the two hands are too similarly proportioned for genuine poor viz use. That said; I’d buy...
Judicious application of sandpaper, inside, outside and the edges, takes the shine off and delivers a comfortable, better looking strap.
Perfect detail! Thank you 😊
Yes please!
(The reviews: always difficult to determine the author’s point of reference; Tudor, the few I’ve looked at always feel slab-sided and enormous to me.. so if compared to that, it’s not...
Just wondering if anyone might happen to have any photos comparing the dimensions of the FXD with a CWC diver?
(I’m struck by the FXD’s enormous lug to lug measurement, and wondering how that...

Sums up this thread.
Yup.
I recall from somewhere that the tiny difference was thought to better reflect reality; where hands and faces discoloured at different rates.
:D
My hunch is ‘Sales Purpose’ like ‘Drill Purpose’ - but the chaps running the Walt social media narrative on these watches want to believe everything was worn on the balcony.
I can think of zero...
I find the GS too deep - I know the forums are full of fatboy fetishists (largely, I suspect, just because of the name) but the thinner watches were far nicer to wear - and the GS just feels like a...
I don’t understand the watch’s raison d’etre at all, but, in particular, I wholeheartedly agree: only proofing a modern ‘toolwatch’ to 5atm is a bit silly.
How was the initial threading through the lugs? The folded-over end looks like it must be a significant squeeze to get it through CWC lug?
It’s somewhere between ‘oddly obsessive’; ‘Walt’ and, I would speculate, a price-driving motivation.
This thread resurrection rather passed me by - the internet obsessiveness around the black version of these watches, and how it seems to tiptoe along the edge of Walter Mittyism (endless pics across...
(Obviously, I’m having a quiet day !)
This drives my practical mind mad:
The rings on a zulualpha; a triglide and a d-ring.
Surely, it should be either ‘just a triglide’ or ‘just two d...
The repeated misuse of the word ‘redux’ on this board.
Sewing? Yup, bloomin useful skill :)
Good to see the extra security on yours, I’m a manic marathon kayaker, and when I look at the ‘classic’ MN fold-and-hope solution, I just see watches that...
Could you signpost a couple of them, please?
Love that look - as something of a cheapskate (well, with regard to the pricing of elastic! :) ) I achieved the similar effect with a cheapie MN and a bit of needle work... just unpick one end......
Just took an idle moment to do a visualisation .
The red hatching is 52mm L to L against a CWC (which is no dainty thing itself!)

It looks great. A real toolwatch, love the fixed lugs and legibility, but I suspect it’s so well ‘in proportion’ that its probable hugeness is difficult to appreciate in photos, and will only be...

Legibility is outstanding.
The fine minute...
Yup, spot on !
