Alimcd Posted May 9, 2021 Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) My wife surprised me with this on my 30th. The only times it comes off my wrist is bed, bath and game day In return, she’s got a little Longine now. Sometimes, the Bond theme plays in my head when I check my wrist Edit- bloody cat has torn up the rug again. That’s bit of rug all over the carpet... Edited May 9, 2021 by Alimcd Enid_Puceflange 1

(no, they aren’t real) The Sea Dweller is a fcuking heavy monster (the genuine item) I got rid of mine and replaced it with a GMT II Batman back in 2015 Probably the best decision and investment I ever made.

Which one? The 16610 is fine, the Deep Sea Seadweller is just silly, the SD43 is actually a nice, big watch
AirSniper Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 I haven't worn a shackle to time in nearly 34 years. IMHO watches are responsible for most accidents in modern life. I don't have the time to explain it either, you'll just have to spend some time pondering about it and maybe in time, the answer will come to you. Tackle and EDcase 1 1
Cannonfodder Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 Is that supposed to be a joke or an attempt at a deep philosophical statement? Either way it failed AWELL556 and Tackle 2

Shamal Posted December 18, 2021 Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) Just one question. Do you use that hand as a shovel? It looks fuckin' huge lol ? Regards Edited December 18, 2021 by Shamal Paul72 and Tackle 2
MAX DICKER Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 I love the idea of having something really nice for my wrist but couldn't really justify it. Especially as I work in construction, rock climb and airsoft. I'm not prepared to drop searios pew money on something to wear around the house ☹️ As it stands, I have this G-Shock. It takes a battering and has a step counter.

RostokMcSpoons Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Ahhhh cool thread I hadn't spotted before either! Loving those Seiko chronos, I've had a soft spot for all things Seiko for many years, I quite often wear my dad's SQ 4004 Quartz that he bought aboard the SS Canberra back in the late 70's. I've got a SARB035 which is a lovely thing, but desperately needs to get regulated. It was about 30 seconds off a day, I decided to 'improve' it, and naturally enough it now runs at 5 minutes off a day ? I'm sure I could actually sort it with some more trial-and-error, but in the absence of a time-grapher, I'll just get the jewellers to sort it for me, some day. I'm not wearing many of my collection these days. I sprung for a Tudor Black Bay Pro recently which is a cracking watch. But no sooner had I bought that than I got "The Call" from the Rolex dealer (after a year and a half on the waiting list!), and a few weeks ago I picked up my grail watch... Oyster Perpetual with blue dial. Wearing it every day, it's not an investment piece. I absolutely adore it, it's just so beautifully finished, and perfectly proportioned.

Download the Kello app, for non-pro use it’s perfectly good enough, I use it on all mine ??
RostokMcSpoons Posted September 28, 2022 Posted September 28, 2022 That Kello app isn't available for my Android phone, so I'll try it later today on the wife's phone. Thanks for the tip
