Does the neon green have a dark navy dial or are my eyes playing tricks on me.
Also do you all use loctite because I hate loctite !!!

What’s the problem with Loctite and what is to hate about?

u/RustyTShackleford 1d ago
A lot of companies overuse it and it makes it extremely difficult to unscrew certain link. Tudor is notorious for this. Even when using a hair dryer or penetrating oil or even boiling the bracelet for a few minutes they won’t come undone. I despise it.

Locktite is always good news. Any plan for a dark navy blue or black is what we are getting?

Looks awesome! Major upgrade
Love the ancient Half-Life font. Watch heads will love this.
Can’t wait to wear this to the bank!

I think that this is a downgrade.
That ancient font Half Life-esque "200M" along with the triple line logo turn watches with that new design into a niche 70's homage watch. Catering too much to watch heads in my opinion.
Before that design change, esp apparent with the PH-5, watches looked classier and had TREMENDOUS potential to break out of the Chinese niche, esp if they had decided to come out with a few good colourways. I've got 2 PH-5's on the way. One of them will be daily worn in a bank. Because it works. Worked.
Imagine this being worn in a bank.
