Skywalker today on my favorite canvas, Drew.

Generally, I prefer bracelets, but OD Drew canvas is pure nostalgia. Had it on everything back in the days when we used to have monthly Bay Area GTGs...

Feels like a LONG time ago.

Pelagos LHD

Stupid name, great watch

My preference from the Pelagos family.

Tom Bihn makes some really good stuff. I love their bags and they have tons of accessories, pouches, etc. Most of it is ballistic nylon or halcyon ripstop nylon. It's all made in the USA and they have a pretty good return policy where you can order a bunch of stuff and check it out in person and th...

I am not sure a real world special unit would choose anything other than a quartz watch for a mission where seconds could matter. The bezel doesn’t even have all the minute markers. It just doesn’t sound believable. Again, this essentially is a bigger Pelagos 39 with fixed lugs. I don’t think most ...

If I’m guessing, I’d say the chronographs are due for some updates. That or a thinner, revised BB full size. If I’m wishing, a black dial/bezel FXD. Winner!!! :headbang: Oh and dibs Hoppy[emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I’m very sorry, but there will be no selling when I get one. My AD said I’m top of l...

I'd never heard of the Steel Reef link until now. I've just had a look and it's impressive but at £97 I think I'll try the Uncle Seiko at £24 first :grin: Hopefully I won't need either. In theory this is supposed to be the last watch I ever buy :roll: Not sure when it'll arrive because EBay UK have...

Congrats, Andy!!

Looks awesome, Mike. Definitely don’t redo dial or hands. It’s perfect as is!

Same here

I’d take it over most watches in the same price range, and definitely over most other plastic watches. Prob over the moon swatch too.

I guess I like it well enough!

We’ve got a DWC deal with them. I’ve been lazy to post the info. I’ll do it tomorrow!

Nailed it.

I like some stuff that LF does, but not a lot. This is definitely in the “not” category.

I'd highly recommend Danial Blair of the Blair Watch Project. He did a great job on my 6105. He documents each service on youtube which is pretty cool to see. You can watch mine here.

Sweet! Thx dude.

You underestimate the appeal and influence of the Shortell P-ness.

Or better yet — Chris, make a U1000P!

(Though the U1000 already has a lot of “P features”)

Bring back the U1000!

Wow! Dibs! Been looking for another (non-PVD) U1000 for awhile!

I’ve listed this one for sale in the past, but something about having an IWC pilot in the box that always keeps me from selling in earnest. Pilot watches were the category that got me into watches in the first place, specifically the IWC pilot and Breitling Navitimer. IWC 3777-24 https://uploads.tap...

Won’t find hate from me. I’ve been on a gold kick for awhile, and vintage Omega style is so uniquely cool.

Buddy has a Seiko 6139-6012 that he wants serviced (and a date wheel swap, which he has already purchased). Nothing major wrong with it, just a basic tune-up and date wheel swap. He brought it into Grand Central Watch Station in NY and got a pretty pricey quote ($1600). I can't imagine that's the go...
