There's plenty in here who like G-Shocks.

I've never been a fan of them personally.

Same here, not a fan personally. They do seem to have a loyal fan-base and some are collectable.

I've been wearing the Bund non-stoo until I broke the crown so back to rotation is good anyway.
New one on the way with the display back when postal service and prices resume some kind of normality again.

Do you mind me asking what happened the crown on the Bund?? I'm awaiting mine to drop through the letterbox any day now.

The crown got caught on a guy wire as I was doing some work.
Totally self inflicted and not at all a quality or watch issue.
Just me being clumsy.

Ed is sending me on a new crown and stem, but as airmail is currently backlogged and expensive from HK, I'm happy to wait until postage returns to some level of normality.

Just my luck it happened the day I got the new cuff strap tho :pac:

After your suggestion the last time, I emailled Ed about changing the watch strap and about obtaining a display back. I have to say, he seems very pleasant to deal with and couldn't have been more helpful. Thanks for the suggestion!

Jaysus B, they have the same weak spot as the Heuer? Now that's accuracy and a large pain in the sitting area.

Well! Theres something new I've learnt today
My homage is super-duper accurate :pac:

I am actually really missing it on the wrist at the moment, it wears far smaller than my Sinn or Breitling and I thing 42mm may be my size sweet spot.

Yeah the crown stem setup can wear and then the crown and part of the stem comes out when you go to set the time. Real pain in the arse. Though as vintage Heuers go they're pretty robust. While Heuer had many really nice designs quality was often "variable" back then. I've owned a few down the years and I don't think I had one that didn't poo itself or bits fell off, my only regret selling them on is one or two would be worth a pretty penny now as they went cray cray money in the vintage market. Quality really went up when TAG took over, though the vintage snobs often don't like to hear that.

Bought myself a G-SHOCK GLX-5600KI-7er surf Kanoa Igarashi Limited Edition in winter, had great intention of using it this summer to track the tides. It's sitting new in its box with tags and a sad face. It had shot way up in value but the pandemic seems to have brought it's value back down to earth a little.

Thats a pretty cool gshock, i had planned on getting a tide watch for going fishing over the summer but dont think that will be happening to much this year. Dont know of many gshocks with a tide graph.

Good Christ. Go away for a while and come back to reams of nonsense. Nonsense deleted.

Shutup, if you can't play nice don't post in this thread again.

They announced a new one recently, GBX-100. It's got the tide data on a more modern display. Not solar unfortunately. RRP is €159 although I've seen a few shops list it at €130.

Cyclingtourist

Coincidentally (or not) Tim at Caseback Watches just did a short feature video on the IWC Yacht Club that has a tide function. Maybe you guys might consider trading in your G-Shocks for one.:)

So it's time to show my little baby with engraving at the back. It's a custom version (if any information needed PM'd me).

Btw. I completely forgot how to upload picture on boards.

My daily wear "watch" doesn't give me the same joy as the seamaster, but for trying to be healthier it wins out . Really should have removed the dentist appointment from the calendar though as that's not happening :pac:

It's an apple watch? Sounds obvious but lots of lookalikes

sure the Apple Watch is itself a homage piece. Majority of the watch faces have Nautilus hands and the case shape is fairly similar to something else but name escapes me atm.

EDIT: Cartier Santos.

Hi All
I was about to post my modded Casio here but the same model was here three weeks ago so decided to put something which for sure wasn't.

It have more than 50 years for sure, never had any service and running around 15 minutes late per day, but it is Swiss made.

I decided to do service on it just before whole hell broke out so it need to wait now.

So so ugly compared to the many nice watches that I own BUT, it hasn't really been off my wrist since it arrived at Christmas. With a toddler it's ideal. I put the little one to bed at night, getting her teeth done, into pj's and then read her some stories. I can quickly and easily see what time it is and make good my escape when she's nodded off. Later in the evening when the missus says 'Turn the heating off after 20 minutes', I set the countdown timer and get reminded to do so. I used to forget previously and leave the heating running. In the mornings it discretely vibrates, waking me up but disturbing no-one else. As I'm getting older I really appreciate the rather large digits. Lastly, with a thin-ish profile and a very wide strap it's really quite comfortable to wear.

It's not all good though. The crystal is delicate and it's got two nice scratches on it. This seems to be a common problem and people recommend fitting a screen protector to it. So bare that in mind if you ever decide to go for one.

Seiko monster arrived this morning.

Arrived yesterday, the poacher in me saw a great deal on eBay and I couldn't help myself.


SBDC051, sapphire crystal comes stock on these.




My SBDC053 that I bought a couple of years ago

New arrival, Steinhart Ocean One 39mm black ceramic.
Initial reaction: I like the size and the quality of the bracelet and was pleasantly surprised at how legible the bezel markings are. Need to give it some wrist time before giving an informed opinion but it feels comfortable.

I keep saying this, but I think the Steinhart bracelets are as well finished as nearly any bracelet I've worn.

Moonwatch. What an icon of a watch. I couldn't help myself, just had to buy it. Very much appreciate the smooth curves of the hesalite. A sapphire crystal will never look the same to me now!

micks_address

So if you had choice of hesalite or saphire with the speedmaster you'd go hesalite?

unkel

Absolutely.

Fitzgeme was so kind to give me one of these in case you get a wee scratch on the acrylic

micks_address

Thanks,

I think I'd like to add a speedmaster at some stage and with both the aqua Terra and 300m seamasters I'd be happy out..

Welcome to the club. Scratched my hesalite within 2 weeks of getting it. Oh well, it's not the worst so I'll get to it someday.

Fun fact, there is a little omega logo etched into the hessalite right in the middle, you have to catch the light just right and use the loupe but it is there.

unkel

Found it

Seiko 5 today.

You Moonwatch fans might find this interesting. It's from the National Geographic magazine Dec. 1973, a two page Omega advertisement.
