That newer clasp does indeed look a big step in the right direction :encouragement:

The ongoing (and widespread across all brands, admittedly) lack of on-the-fly micro-adjustent remains a sore...

I've been disappointed in every single Seiko I've owned and handled, more so now they've doubled their prices, then doubled them again.

This is rather growing on me. It's hard to tell how well...

Agree on all points - this:

Cost £90 or so brand new (with discounts!), and has lost one second in every two days since it arrived...

It's already beginning to grow on me - wears really well, and love the hugely functional no-nonsense design - I'm a sucker for a nice deep rehaut, too...

I'll see if the local muntjacs will oblige...

Betimes... :listening_headphone

Magnificent toadage!

Cool - that's a great result. Admittedly I haven't tried the latest version of the larger clasp.

I do like these watches on a red strap -

It may be that the springbar ends are a bit too fat to locate fully into the holes in the lugs, and so are not quite engaging.

I've encountered this sort of thing once before, and swapped the...

Just arrived - Squale 1521 50 Atmos Professional. It's certainly had a hard life and some bodging, but seems in perfect working order:

Followed by Bredundancies, and then Breceivership...?


Funny how everything prefaced by "Bre-" turns to s***.

Looks great. Bang-on the sweetspot visually for me :love7:...just a shame Sinn's clasps are so horrible.

If it sells well enough expect other 'colourways' to follow, a-la Bel Canto.

That small-seconds Tsuyosa is lovely, especially the grey - seems a bit of a bargain, even at full retail.

Witty, erudite and informative - a fine way to ease into Sunday evening! Thanks Wimm :encouragement:

Some faces really do provoke a primæval instinct to undertake acts of violence upon them... :beaten: :encouragement:

Bravo! WOTD :applouse:

FWIW, it's not unique to Zenith, all the LVMH and Richemont brands are like this, and of course Rolex are notorious for charging what they feel like and undertaking whatever work they insist must be...

Probably about as much as the CW costs - anything LVMH is notoriously expensive. I've heard rumours from an ex-industry chap I know that they hold few parts for discontinued lines over 10 years old,...

Thanks, and yes, with special order bezel and red chrono hands. Gets more wear than its appearences in this thread tend to suggest!

Get thee behind me, Satan! :devilish:


[goes to have a look...]

Not sure I could ever quite settle at 3, but if I did, these would be contenders - just lovely :love_heart:

Very nice, and perfect timing :encouragement: I am going to have to own one of these one day.

Swapped to something a little more upmarket...

Yep, time to open a fresh can...

Have an excellent weekend folks :encouragement:

Hopefully they have some huge legal bills to pay and can look forward to the remainder of their lives living in a leaky caravan...
