Watches

Love that Speedy. One of the most iconographic watches in history! Looks good on the brown strap.
Thanks. I like to play with the strap combinations. It's fun to break out the tools and change things up. I'm going through a deployant clasp period right now.

Any person here can send me one of these and I'll be their friend forever. I can be had.

That's a great one. I tend to like less busier (less "navitimer"-type ) dials, but I am usually in the minority on this opinion. That said, Sinn makes some spectacular watches. Their recent U1 release that I posted a pic of a few pages ago is way way up on my "want list."
 
Subject: George Daniels.

Absolute badass, developer of the coaxial escapement, watchmaker's watchmaker, working class hero, master of the universe, and author of THE BOOK.

Discuss.

Definitely a brilliant dude who pioneered an innovation on a mechanism that hadn't seen one in decades. That book is a classic from what I gather, though I don't own a copy.

Sinn just released a new limited edition of the U1 diving watch (easily the best, most durable/strong watch case/bracelet out there) and I really really want one!

Went to the Bell & Ross site last night...fell off the wagon, again. (Didn't get anything, mind you...but I shouldn't even visit these places!!)

Why do I look? I'm dumb.

My Onegas have had a bad week.

The Constellation was knocked off the sideboard by one of the cats and the strap pin that fixes it to the case has pinged off somewhere.

Even more troubling, my Seamaster Aquaterre advances from 9pm to 10pm but then flicks back to 9 again. I suspect it's to do with the date advance mechanism. (n)
 

What are the watches mate from left to right if you don't mind me asking?

No probs, mostly cheaper end things:



Amazon product ASIN B07Z79RSDP

(model CAU2011)


And an AWI dress watch, that was given to me many moons ago, so I don't know a lot about it. But it wasn't hugely expensive.

I love the cheaper watches. I've got one of these in blue. Cracking watch for the price.. I added a new strap too..

Ouch. You can probably get a new spring bar at any watch dealer/jeweler...should cost next to nothing. Though I think Omega uses some non-standard lug widths so it might be hard to size. Get the Aqua Terra serviced!

That's the point, it was only serviced (at omega) last year.

I'll stop in all disgruntled and try and get it at no cost.
