The Dive Watch Connection

One of the reasons I can't stand Rolex, they seem to think they still own the watch after they sell it to you. If I want to pay a company to modify my watch to my liking then I should be free to do so. I don't see car companies like Porsche suing independent shops for putting after-market parts lik...

Grand Shogun today

Went to see this one at the Seiko Boutique, and they said US boutiques and ADs didn’t have them yet.

Appreciate it, guys. In the Rolex lineup, Sea-Dwellers are my favorites, no question. This reference is damn near perfect for me. I’d just hoped the mod could be painless.

With Rolex increasingly freezing it’s parts accounts, I don’t see how to pull this off now.

Interesting Rolex update. I picked up an aftermarket sapphire to switch out the OEM crystal, in an attempt to remove the cyclops on the SD43. Our watchmaker has handled an OEM crystal where the cyclops was removed and it didn’t come off clean, due to the new adhesion technology. They’ll need an extr...

That dial.

I’m looking forward to seeing that on your next visit, Jay. Don’t be afraid to try it on straps.

Thanks, Jay. The dial is my favorite part.

You’re going to love that Hi Beat.

it lacks "soul" like a quartz That part’s true. But there’s still something about the GS Spring Drive diver that I love, despite that. They are fantastic under the radar watches, especially with the OG dial. I usually vacation or travel with mine because it’s “just a Seiko.” They don’t get magnetiz...

Just started season 2. Didn’t even realize it was released last week.

Just binged and enjoyed the timelines of this Season 2 storyline.

I agree. Hi Beat has more soul. Seiko at its best. Spring Drive is very cool tech, and the ultimate grab n go IMO. But GS dials are amazing, especially without the clutter of a PR complication.

I’d treat it like any other commercial transaction. Unless you have it in writing that the risk of loss is on the buyer once it ships, be prepared and insure against any shenanigans.

A digital Casio seems like the most logical option

Seiko solar or Citizen Eco-Drive come to mind. The dress models without a ticking seconds hand might be silent.

See if he has a 1171 for my WatchCo SM 300 (165.024) please?

Thanks.

No response from FatTony.

The 1171 was still available new, Adam. I’ll ask our watchmaker. He can probably source for you.
