Thanks man.
If you look closely, there is a bit of oxidation on the hands, fading on the second dial and a very small chip in the glass, but she's held up well.

i don't get the fascination with casio g shock watches

they are hideous and childish...someone enlighten me?!

[colinxx235]

Nothing wrong with a G-shock watch (not my thing personally) :dunno:


At least if they get sick of the watch it is a lot easier to take off than a stupid ass tattoo....... :D

Vintage Waltham today - on a rainy day at work.

Serial number dates it to 1914....the silver needs a good polish, haven't worn it in a while.

I can't believe I missed that Waltham last week. Very nice!

Still on the look out for an American for the collection. Waltham wrist watches seem some what hard to come by in decent shape without paying an arm and a leg. The Timex's that I'm eyeing aren't Made in USA. I had no idea Timex was so awesome that Clinton and Bush Jr. were known to were them while in office. They should come out with a President model ala Rolex haha :D

Here's today's wrist shot accompanied by one on August 17th. After about 5 days of on and off sessions and almost a whole freaking tube of PolyWatch, most of the major scratches don't bother me anymore. Amazing how deep some of the scratches that PolyWatch can get out, but it requires MAJOR elbow grease. Dremel is definitely not for use on acrylic crystal, learned that real quick.

- large scratches between 9 and 10
- large diagonal scratch from 1 to 3
- horizontal marks between 7 and 8
- deep nicks near centre of face

There is a place in the NE called "Kens Gems" that sells tubues of Polywatch for $12 or so. I haven't seen it anywhere else in Calgary

#92/999, still waiting on the other one to arrive, should be before next friday :D
http://i148.photobucket.com/albums/s5/cory_mr2/007-7.jpg

[ga16i]

$12 is not bad at all! Next time I'll just buy it at Ken's Gems then.
I got my tube off EBay for $11.66 CAD after shipping and took 2 weeks from the US.

I know it's only for acrylic, but I tried some on mineral glass and it didn't ruin anything, but it also didn't remove any scratches not one bit haha. That stuff makes your arms feel like they want to fall off, but you can see definite progress after ~10 minutes of vigorous buffing on deep scratches. Definitely stay away from power tools unless you got something that does ~5 RPM or something.

Only for acryclic? Hmm... I'm unsure if Seiko are sapphire or acryclic....

[ga16i]

Seiko's are most likely hardlex a type of mineral, so not acrylic nor sapphire.

Are you referring to your pepsi diver? That's probably hardlex. Acrylic is actually warm to the touch and does feel soft when compared to mineral and sapphire.

I haven't tried to remove scratches from mineral glass yet, been doing some reading online and I've got a watch that I wouldn't be too choked to try some stuff on. I'll let you know if I have any success.

Yup. Not sure if I should use it on the Seiko but I have a Citizen moonphase that is in need of a buff.

[Pacman]

You will need diamond paste if you want to remove scratches from mineral crystal or sapphire, although sapphire is pretty darn hard to scratch.

Very nice superlative chronometer you got there.
Such ballers on beyond!

Not only does it have to be a mechanical chronograph, it has to be an automatic column wheel chronograph from Rolex on what looks to be a two tone oyster bracelet. Well done! :thumbsup:
I haven't personally had the pleasure of meeting one in person. Do the chrono buttons screw down as well?

Thanks man. I had a layover in the Hong Kong airport toward the end of a very long trip last year, and I didn't really feel like venturing into town again. I was wandering through the airport in between naps and ended up in some little art & design store that featured a lot of younger artists local to the region.
I kind of felt like making an unnecessary purchase during that trip and I figured if I was going to do it, it should be something I couldn't get back home.

It's fucking GIANT though...the case is easily 0.75" thick and even on the smallest setting, the strap still has some play around my wrist. As you can see, it completely dominates my wrist (i have to unzip the sleeve of my jacket a little so that it doesn't catch).

A lot of people have commented on it, as it has a very unique look (rose gold-ish and a brown, but almost-purple-in-direct-sunlight aligator strap) and really shows off the movement (a Miyota) very nicely. The strap has held up well, and the double deployant clasp is solid.

Given the uniqueness of it, at a price around $650 CAD, I've been very pleased with the purchase.

Anyone have an omega sea master planet ocean? Was wondering if there are any negative comments about it.

I have an orange bezel planet ocean in the 45.5mm size. I don't have anything negative to say about it other than the size, I'm a smaller guy so I find it pretty heavy/big, I think the standard sized one would have been perfect. I already had the SMP above, so thought I'd go for the larger size. Awesome watch though, highly recommend it.

[Stunt66]

I have a planet ocean too and agree with rony about the size. I'm not a watch guy at all so when i got this I was shocked at how much it actually weighed. It took me some time to get used to it but i love it now.

[SJW]

I think I have to have one.

So is 2 ply toilet paper, but we like it. ;)

I don't have an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, but I think it's offered with a co-axial movement. Come service time, I think that may limit your options to authorized service centres due to parts. Not that it's a big deal, but I'm rather cheap when it comes to watches and service.

$5100 at Calgary Jewellery. I'd rather buy local. After duty it'd be close to that price anyway.

[Street_Soldier]

IMO the 2500 looks a lot better. You can probably get a really good price on it now. After the bond movie comes out it may be harder to get your hands on one for that price.

You think so? I think it's okay and adds bulkiness to my wrist, actually. It's a hefty beast though; so much weight.

Had the Sea-Gull 816.351 on a black croc grain leather strap for the past week while away, looked and felt pretty nice. But I think I prefer stainless steel for the heft and non-stickiness for daily wear. I'll save the natural skin bands for special occasions.

Nice watches today, guise!

I've never understood the blue and red on watches. Is there a reason for it? Or is it just fashion?
