What makes you say that? Looks fine to me.Originally Posted by rodia77
I didn't mean the 24h hand, more below.
Set any full hour, with seconds and minutes pointing exactly at 12. If I'm right, the hour hand will be slightly behind, not exactly reaching the full hour. Try a couple of hours like that. If I'm wrong (which I might be, could be the parallax etc), good for you and congratulations.
This 216570 landed today and I too blame Gav!
Getcha. I assume you mean the first photo at 10am ish?I didn't mean the 24h hand, more below.

Those pesky Chinese and their so caled AAA super clones!
I didn't imply at all that it might be a fake. Neither was I picking at Rolex. I got this habit of looking at hand alignment in pics when buying Seikos, but it's gone beyond that and now it's, well, a habit. I often ask sellers to check that for me and to send me photos if they're in doubt. Also, it doesn't bother everyone and on every watch equally.Getcha. I assume you mean the first photo at 10am ish?

I'm messing with you. As mentioned in my original reply, it's all as it should be -

Strange post. I can’t see anything wrong with them at all?
Incoming. So very excited! No one's ever got from "I think I quite like Doxa Subs" to actually buying one as quick as I just did, within 24 hours. Which is quite amazing, considering I can't really afford one right now. I have a feeling I still won't regret it though
Found it! Been looking since I foolishly sold the same about 3-odd years ago.
They more commonly pop up with the tachy bezel, but these minute marker ones are my fave…

There are three (maybe more?) rotating bezel variants, yours and mine are the usual dive style, then there's the minutes count down bezel and there's also a count down bezel with both minutes and hours. Been trying to find one of the latter two bezels for yonks!
Simply gorgeous (IMO) on the orange rubber!
Thanks to Tim (Ed875) for this one. Last of the quartz chronos with T dial and acrylic, and a new CWC ridged NATO to set it off.
Feels like there is extra gravity on my wrist
Wow wow wow. Love it

That's lovely.Fancied an HAQ and decided upon this one. Great size for me at 36mm, 100m WR and really nicely finished. Arrived today and has cheered me up since I tested positive for Covid last night.
This one arrived a couple of days ago. I really like it, but it's going off to Genesis for a full service on Saturday.
Unless I decide that I'd rather go 36mm (unlikely) it'll be a long term keeper.
That is a beauty. But I am sure you know it already.

Apologies, it was going to be one of the first and then things took a different direction as I was offered an SLGA013 so cancelled that order and went for that and this, which arrived earlier, instead. It is gobsmacking although I was gutted the one on SC was posted after my order!
Cheers, go for it, I also like that model, so stealthyWow wow wow. Love it

Big showing for Explorers (1 & 2) over the last bunch of posts!
That's very nice. Nomos is so underrated IMO.

Absolute rip snorter Jon.
The SLGA013 looks a stunner, so understand the change of heart.Apologies, it was going to be one of the first and then things took a different direction as I was offered an SLGA013 so cancelled that order and went for that and this, which arrived earlier, instead.

Haha, thanks Gareth. Not heard that for a few years!

Wearing this lovely homage to SLA025 ( read copy if you prefer)
Bought this because it came on a fitted Tropical strap which ofcourse went straight on my SLA025
But turned out to be a pretty good watch as well. Love the Seahunter dial
HAGWE
PS- thought was posting on the Friday thread:-). But works here as well.

It looks so different with the orange missing!I'm messing with you. As mentioned in my original reply, it's all as it should be -
I stared at it for quite a while, wondering why I didn’t like the photo.
You’re right, there’s just too much white dial on display. The “GMT” hand breaks it all down
Just picked up and love it the blue is just sublime.
Thank you. It is getting quite a bit of wear!That's lovely.

Funnily enough, I have decided that I would only sell any of my watches to help fund a 36mm Explorer. The explorer would be the end game for me. My wrist wouldn’t cope with the 39mm but it’s a beauty and I can see why you’ll want to hold onto it. It’ll be worth the wait coming back from Duncan!
I have always secretly liked "The Bluesy" even though I personally couldn't carry it off. It looks superb on your wrist. Enjoy!Just picked up and love it the blue is just sublime.

Managed to buy a Timefactors watch without having to complete the transaction in less than 10 seconds.
Lovely, me too! See post above yours.
Enjoy :)

Very nice David, that’s Eddie’s reissue of the Precista 1993 diver isn’t it.

Fresh from my AD a week or so ago, delighted with this one.
It is, it’s the COSC movement model.
That's the best photo I've ever seen of an Explorer II - makes me want one quite badlySimply gorgeous (IMO) on the orange rubber!
Love these, got a flat no when I asked my AD haha

I love mine it’s a great watch, the colour scheme works wonderfully.

Thanks I love it the inky blue colours on the dial change vastly; it’s a watch from my wife so gets added to the sentimental pile of watches. My old 40mm TT black dial is just so dull in contrast. At the time I went for the safe choice; how wrong I was!
Thank you it’s gorgeous in person I love the dial.
Got a great deal so had to be done
Nice, I really like these and did fancy trying one and regret not doing the same before the price increase. Never say never but I’ll probably not have another one now given the hike.Got a great deal so had to be done
