Is barely noticeable but now that I’ve seen it I can’t unsee it.
As Unkel has said it's a PITA when it happens, but no volume watchmaker has perfect QC.
Indeed the professional part of me would opine that amongst bespoke makers 100% perfect, 100% of the time is a technical impossibility. Hence the reason for tolerance in specifications.
Now leaving aside the ridiculously boring technicalities of quality management and sigma
It's usually a simple job for a competent jeweller to pop an insert and realign it.
It's a lovely watch BTW.0 -
Well this was kinda unexpected... but *lots* of brownie points earned with MsThirdfox - a small celebration in our household and an opportunity too good to pass up came up and the first Rolex I've ever bought has entered the collection...
Pearlmaster for the better three quarters (according to Wibbs
)
She loves it - this could be well be her "one and done" watch (when she's not modelling/enjoying a Sólás timepiece). And now I get to point out to her that she now owns the most expensive watch in our household (at least per rrp)
It also makes you realise that hmm - you can get a solid gold Rolex for the price of stainless steel men's Datejust/Submariner - world is pretty mad.0 -

Year starting to change over on the PC
Having little experience with PC I am a little disappointed that’s it’s not a snap over at midnight.
Though now thinking about it...it does make sense that it is slowly changing when you consider the amount of cogs and wheels that are controlling the once yearly movement.0 -

Well done Thirdfox.
My wife is celebrating a significant birthday this month but she's not really interested in watches and quite happy with her Skagen quartz.
I'd have happily bought her a new watch but she's more into jewellery so financed her foray to the tune of a modest sum. We're talking more in the range of a Seiko 5 than a lady's Rolex, in money terms.0 -

You Sir, never cease to amaze.
Alexandrite is something else I highly recommend checking out - blue/green in sunlight and red/purple in incandescent or fire light. Natural stuff can be more expensive than diamonds but again there is the lab created options (chemically the same).
A lot of cool/interesting minerals/gems out there other than diamonds certainly.
A three stone option with a centre piece of colour changing alexandrite and flanked by two moissanite stones - mounted in 18k gold or platinum and it’s a lovely ring that looks amazing. Doesn’t cost the world either.
Debeers is quaking in their boots thinking diamonds will go the way of pearls where cultured ones absolutely destroyed the value of natural ones...0 -

The bracelet is grand to be honest when you don't look too closely at it. Has a certain charm to it, though I would've preferred a regular oyster style bracelet. It does come with a leather strap, but I wasn't too into the colour of it and it has a silly roller buckle on it, so it stayed in the box. Got an aftermarket strap which suits the watch well, here's an older pic:

I reckon I have this about 12 years. PRW-1500 Protrek. I love the display - back then Casio would make them with their own unique modules. Nowadays no matter how massive the G Shock*, the actual numbers will be the same size as anything else.
This is a very decent module. You should probably not count on the sensors for much more than estimates - except for the compass which is generally accurate. It has the much coveted (by me) time displayed in all modes except the tide graph screen when it will still tell you the date (ahhhhh, Casio). The only other negative is the count down timer is only 60 minutes (why???). The stopwatch is 24 hours though.
I havn't worn it for 2 or 3 years and it sprang back into life with no issues.
*the last G Shock I can think of which had larger numbers was the MTG-910 - a great if quirky watch in its own right)0 -
Treated myself to a little Christmas present, and took delivery this morning. My wrists are almost feminine (6.5"), so it's a perfect size .. ordered a couple of natos during the week too.
The original, formal/sporty look, for whenever I wear a shirt/suit again
A blue/navy nato, for when the sun comes out again, and summer sets in! Though I think the colour might need to be more of a royal blue
The daily choice for now, as I'm trying to be more active at the moment, so the oyster would annoy me

Meet your wrist stunt double.My wrists are almost feminine (6.5") It looks to fit well on you and I would have thought it might not on the wrist size score. Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

Meet your wrist stunt double. It looks to fit well on you and I would have thought it might not on the wrist size score. I'm still trying to get used to the 39mm, as I've always had large watches. The Nato obviously adds a bit of chunkiness too. Reality though, this watch suits my wrist the most, when I consider the lug to lug length too versus width of my wrist from above. I won't be venturing back to the large watches anytime soon, or until my eyesight goes in 40 years ;-) 0

A cheapie arrival today, been interested in these since I saw the first photo's and with the bonus of a Seiko automatic movement.
This is the Pagani Design homage to the new Bond 007 Commander. I like that they have kept enough difference so it's not a direct lookalike. No fake escape valve crown like on some versions and they have went with their own branding and not the 007 style, handset is different also.
Overall this is a decent watch that comes with a nice rubber strap and deployant clasp. I think the are around $140 from aliexpress, I picked this one up from watchuseek for just over $100 with a bonus mesh strap.
