Watches

[LEONARD]

Just wondering. Does anyone use a watch as a watch anymore? I wear mine all the time, but if someone asks the time I get my phone out.

I choose not to own a mobile.

A lovely watch on your wrist, a nice shave and a splash of Tabac, and I'm out of the door.

Is it an acrylic crystal? If so, see here: https://millenarywatches.com/how-to-polish-hesalite-acrylic-watch-crystal/

hardlex.. whatever that might be

I see, yeah, those compounds won't work on hardlex.

Just managed to get in the last Timefactors sale. Bagged a PRS-38 Black Shadow.
I had been aching to get my hands on one of these for ages.
It was worth the wait.

That's really cool. I love the yellow second hand...adds a nice touch!

I still look at my watch; in fact, I pretty much stare at it all the time even when not being asked the time.

I could see that watch looking great on straps like these...

Yup, a watch is the perfect reason to not carry one of those abominations...

Sold the Seiko, replaced with a simple Citizen ProMaster diver. Came in a mini scuba tank, which was a surprise...I've gotten less than that while paying much more. Some videos show it coming in the typical Citizen cylinder, no idea why some come with the scuba tank...JDM? *shrug*

One of the affordable darlings of watch-enthusiasts. Such a great deal with their in-house movements and great finishing. Cool watch! Congrats.

Hard to beat, for the price...shockingly accurate so far too (like, legitimately shocked...-1 a day, whaaaat), which is a big hang-up of mine.

A "what do you want for your birthday, you're impossible to buy for!" pick. Nailed it...

Also, I should add that I hadn't heard of Haveston straps, but I just was looking at their stuff and they are cool. So thanks for the tip. I ordered two for a few watches that I have...doh! (damnit PayPal, you make it too easy).

I do like Orient watches! Fairly unknown I think in the UK. I do have an Orient Mako II.. nice automatic watch for the price..
