Re: Ægir watches coming

looks great!... I also prefer the CD-2.

I'm glad to see more and more new watches with the hex screws for the lugs... maybe that'll help avoid lug scratches... plus it looks really cool :bananastoner:

Picked up a Seal

Was able to trade for a Seal last week... had some scratches on the bezel so I did a quick brush job. Slapped on a new leather strap and Voila! Gotta work on the lug scratches when I get a chance. http://i353.photobucket.com/albums/r378/ikkoku94/Kobold/IMG_2526Medium.jpg http://i353.photobucket.com/...

Re: New Ocean7 LM-1

I ordered one to try out. but just found out (after ordering, of course :oops: ) the lug to lug to be 56mm :shock: ... I hope I can pull it off. I hate impulse buys.. I'd figure it was Xmas time and I need to get a gift for myself. If it was tax season, I might have held off.

will scotch brite (green one) scratch the crystal?

need to brush out a scratch on the bezel and don't really feel like removing the bezel... laziness mainly... was just wondering if I do try to brush it with scotch brite if it'll scratch the sapphire crystal. Guess I can tape the crystal also, but I can never do a good tape job... especially if the ...

Re: Just in - BOND CHRONO

Just an excuse to post pictures of a watch I've been wanting for awhile. Mildly relevant in this thread, but whatever :fro: If only it didn't have that darn problematic 3301 movement that's scaring me away from pulling (no, not the trigger) out my credit card. I actually had a chance to pick this o...

Re: Flipping - how much do you loose?

buy to try out new/different watches... and flip when you research and find something else you want to try. It's the only way you can try out a lot of watches with a small budget. After a while you will know what kind of watch you'd buy for keepers. "Borrowing" a watch for a few weeks/months for the...

NATO is a great option on the SEAL, but the nice thing about the watch is that it's one of the few that wears pretty well on any optio...

Re: Doxa lovers... $400 for an extra 1mm and HRV worth it?

Are any of the watches we buy truly worth it for the price we pay? I guess to the ones that buy the 1200 it is. It's a fine watch, but I'm a 750 guy myself. That's the only one DOXA had to make as far as I'm concerned. Well, that and the T-Graph. :love: I agree. I'm waiting for a 750T re-edition

Doxa lovers... $400 for an extra 1mm and HRV worth it?

So Doxa is coming out with the 1200T HRV... early presales price is 1890. as far as I can tell, the 1000t can still be had for 1490 if I click on the Order Here link. Same width as the 1000T but just a mm thicker. minor cosmetics changes. BUT it does come with the GMT bracelet and can go 200M deeper...

Re: REVIEW: DIEVAS VORTEX

great review... everything is spot on. It's refreshing for me to get a non date watch. Also, it has gotten me interested in Kobold also.
I do like the hands on the SMG better tho.
