And this is why the original 2500 POs are the best.

It’s like wearing a Big Mac on your wrist.
Yep, this is a big reason why I'm cherishing my 2201.50 D.

Fishy stuff on Reddit

There's an Omega FS on Reddit, offered as a vintage automatic. The dial of the watch says automatic, but the pic of the movement that has no rotor sure looks like a manual wind. Hmmm. https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/19dwvg8/wts_1947_omega_automatic_watch_ref_25823c_cal_351/ https://p...

Nice downsizing. The only thing I’d add is a GMT.
Used to have a nice one. Maybe I was a fool to sell it, but I felt that as I get older, my ageing eyes prefer a dark dial with more contrast.

Thanks, Mike. One thing's for sure, I'd be the most boring guy at a GTG. I mean, who doesn't go to one without a suitcase full of watches?

Sold three watches today to a local guy in a face to face deal, watches that I like but seldom wear anymore, so what's the point? I would add that it was a pleasant meeting.

Re: Someone school me on roasting coffee

I've been a home roaster for more than 15 years. Started off roasting with a Fresh Roast, but eventually graduated to a Behmor 1600, which has more capacity than the Fresh Roast and also has a smoke suppression system that makes it possible to roast indoors with so little smoke that it can be handle...

I just don’t understand why they won’t give us a modern 2254 style. I hate the skeleton hands. Agreed. I’d love solid sword hands and a different bracelet. I was just going to post this.

And even then, it’s not a sure thing. Don’t do it. Agreed. The first two “photos” appear to be photoshopped (note the sharp lugs and grainy appearance) and the case side photos show very rounded and over polished lugs. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230504/cf2a5e4cdf4c8fe5b56f28363069f8ea.png h...

Re: Cape cod or polywatch to remove scrateches on Acrylic crystal?

Cape Cod is more of a chemical polishing product than an abrasive one. I've heard that Cape Cod can be detrimental to seals if it seeps into them, so I'd be very reluctant to use it on a crystal.

Re: Stolen watch alert! Halios Universa #32

I've heard of charge backs done with PP f&f. The seller probably figured that kind of transaction was worry free, but now he won't be able to get PayPal to intercede on a deal that violates their terms of service.

Re: Any recommendations for an inexpensive one watch winder?

I'd go with the Boxy Watch Winder. It's modular, so you can add additional winders to work on the same adapter. Has 3 settings for TPD and can rotate CW, CCW, or both. I have a couple of the Boxy winders on the same adapter and they work well. https://www.amazon.com/Boxy-Sharing-Stack-able-Package-A...

Don't care for a 24mm lug width on a watch that size. In that price range, I'd rather go for a GSAR.

I also used them to order an adjustable clasp + the parts to make the modification to my PO bracelet. ...
